'95 Runner rear bumper options?
So, my AO front is ordered, finally.
Time to decide on a rear. What options are there? I've seen a few custom ones here that were REALLY nice, but production types are easier to get ahold of. Want something bolt on, no mods required, with at least one recovery point, preferably two.
Whatcha got?

I was leaning toward the Addicted, just like to explore what options I might have.
And no, I don't search much, it's quite painful to use forum search engines on an iPhone.

I like the marlin bumper. Was a pain the my ass to get it installed tho. Took 3 hours with a prybar and sledge, thanks to one nut that was welded a little off center..

Super beefy. Install was easy as hell. You can have him put as many recovery points as you want on it. Or even a winch plate. Its all custom stuff.

Yep. Slide the mounts into the frame and bolt them on. then the bumper bolts to them, you can see what i mean in the picture above.
It sure helps to have seperate mounting brackets. I have heard some people have a hell of a time wrestling the bumper into place, and even more of a hard time getting the mounts to bolt up.
This bumper ends up being like 35 bucks more than a trailgear or something like that. If you DO get a trailgear you have to get the side supports unless you want a bent bumper(ask birnbrain). Another bad thing about the trailgear bumpers is i guess they are hard to get the nut and bolt to thread onto eachother because the nut is being held a few inches into the frame. The badland bumper has captive nuts(nuts welded on) so you dont have to deal with that.
(not bashing trailgear, they make good stuff, but some things are just better)
