So, I have a Westin grille guard on my 02 4Runner, but I wheel it quite a bit, and recently knocked the hell out of it and its crooked and loose. I honestly dont like the grille/brush guard that much anymore, but definitely more than the stock look. Ideally I dont want to just fix it and forget about it, I want it gone. I am looking for an affordable or used offroad bumper, something that can take a beating. Quite a few I have looked at are out of my *hopeful* price range though... Suggestions?

 

build your own or have a close friend do it for the price of material and beer haha

 

It might help if we knew what your price range is.

I guess you forgot to state your budget.

You also should have some idea of what you want.

 

They should advertise Westin stuff as a light mounts.

Check the classifieds section.

New be prepared to spent $400'ish for something functional.

 

I build most of my rear bumpers out of 3x5" tubing. a 24' stick costs $212 after tax. I just ordered some 2x3" tubing today. That was $132 for 24'... Just consider the cost of materials. Steel is crazy expensive. Forming, cutting, and other services run our prices up too. What may look like a $500+ bumper may only include very minimal labor charges just to keep the prices low enough to sell.

Unfortunately, there are many of the larger name fabricators importing from China and elsewhere. I would rather sell a Quality American made item, but sometimes we just can't keep the prices low enough to deter customers from selecting imported competition.

are you looking for a tube bumper or square tube, or rectangle tube? it is cheaper to do a round tube bumper.i actually made my own and i think it looks alot better as round in the front the square or rectangle

 

I'm looking for something along the lines of an ARB or a TJM bumper, preferably used, because $500 is about all I can throw towards it... max.

 

Ok, My front bumpers start near your range, but would more likely be around the $750 mark if Powdercoated...
