Hey Guys can anyone point me in the right direction for a sheet metal (plated) front bumper for an 85 runner? Or is anyone selling one that would be great. Looks like all I can find is bumpers for newer trucks. Im in california if that helps.

I'm not looking for a tube style.

Thanks for your help!

 

Craigs list?

 

Sheet metal bumper?

 

Define what a sheet metal front bumper is?

 

More like a ARB style (boxed look). I trying to stay away from the tube bumper. I bought the truck with no bumper and would like to have some protection on it soon.

 

here is something, not sure its what your looking for.

any particular reason you want it in sheet metal? What's wrong with the ARB bumper?

i'm thinking sheet and plate mean the same in this case. right?

 

You sure you don't mean box type?

 

I have an arb bumper off of my 86 I'll sell

 

taconasty, yes that's what Im looking for. I like the ARB one, but I don't think they make one for an 85. I'm looking to buy... no time or tools to make one.

 

Look at my avatar. That's an 85 4Runner with an ARB bumper. They make them.

 

It won't work without modification.

 

Does anyone else make one like ARB that is cheaper?

 

how much for the ARB for the '86!?!?!?! lol

 

it's a weighs a ton shipping would a mf lol

 

Not that I know of. Lot's of vendors for later models and Land Cruisers of all years but not for the earlier 4Runners and pickups.

 

ARB only made one bumper for the 84-88 trucks and 4runners they are all the same and will bolt up IFS or straight axle.

 

I stand corrected but it still takes some modification for the IFS models.

From Slee Offroad's website:

Part#:ARB - $810.00
'86-'95 4Runner
Accepts Warn 9.5XP,XD9000,M8000 or M6000 winches
On '86-'89 4Runner modifications need to be made to upper bumper brackets. Requires factory turn indicators from
89-95 pickup.

Must not be too difficult or they would have offered a separate model.
