Yeah, My father in-law is supposed to be getting me some steel from his work for free!! So I will be fabbing a rear and front bumper for my 94. $599 seems kinda steep for a bumper. I have found similar styles for around $250 - $400.

Like where?

The Warns are good (probably better than an ARB for ground clearance) but expensive and heavy...should outlast the truck though...

um dude. if you know how to sas then you can figure out a bumper. most of the time these style just mount up.. if you kept your frame the same it will bolt

X2 myself and a few other people would love to see 'similar styles' in the $250-400 range.

i love this bumper! i have had this bumper for about 2 years now. easy installation and its very solid. the only thing is that if you have a body lift you have to custom fab the brackets... not that bad though

I put one on my 95 4Runner last weekend.

The thing is an absolute tank! Took some time, as I think there were 24(?) bolts by them time it was all done.

Sorry, no pics of the install as I found this forum after I got it on. I will take a pic and post it later though.

I paid $650 or so (out the door) from a supplier in Reno.

I've been worried that this bumper would need fabbing to go on a '95 4Runner; I prefer this style to the tube bumpers myself strictly by the looks of it.

The only thing I clearanced on mine was the area around the stock electric fan. I took off about 1/4". This was not required, but it made me feel better as there was very little room in there.

The stock 4Runner turnsignal lamps WILL work with a little creativity. If you want a direct mount, you have to find yourself some off a pickup.

Other than that, it is a direct bolt on project.

Um DUDE. It was a quetion, I did not want to spend $600-700 on a bumper to then totally re design it.

If you had a SAS you would know that the front of the frame were this bumper partly bolts to is diffrent, there is a spring hanger there.

I'll post a pic when I get home later. The bumper really is a VAST improvement over the OE one.
