Anyone know of a company that makes rear bumpers for a 2nd Gen w/ swing out tire carrier. my stock needs to be replaced and cant stand the thought of a factory one

 

try kennasaw mountain bumpers they are located in GA hope it helps ive seen picts of there rear bumpers for the second gen and they can do u a spare tire carrier

 

I am thinking that flatland4runner has a 4RUNNER and is asking fo a company that makes bumpers that are compatible WITH THE FACTORY REAR SWING OUT TIRE CARRIER.

At least thats how I read it and I am also curious as well, as my factory bumper is also falling away each trip I take.

Most aftermarket bumpers do not work with the factory tire carrier, as they will not allow the swing out carrier....to swing.

 

should have been more clear, I do have the factory swing out carrier which I kind of prefer but aftermarket bumpers are hard to come by that are compatible with it

 

I am partial to this look and may use it for inspiration in making my own, since I do not htink they make it for a 2nd Gen.



Have thought about this style...and shortning the "wraparound" to allow the tire carrier to swing.

 

i think i lost the link to it, there is a place in bc that makes custom bumpers. big country or similar, do a search and you should find it.

They can make you whatever you want

 

JAY351 has the right idea! those are the best rear bumpers for 2nd gens i have ever seen. i plan on getting one in a few years when i drive down in a vehicle from Canada in Summer of 09'.

 

I'm going with Jay's idea kind of...I got loaded last night while working a friends VW and it hit me. He works at a shop that builds fuel tankers and such so i have access to pipe benders and all kinds of materials so I can realistically build something on the cheap that'll look decent and be tough as hell. The problem we carrier guys have is the lower hinge but if that becomes integrated into the bumper I got full swing and a great bumper to boot a hinge is dead easy to fab and the carrier itself can be trimmed and/or modified. Well pics will be coming as the measuring has already begun...the design is based mostly on a bumper like Jay's
