yup 32s.
so after the last adventure in the mountains. i did some damage to the under side. i quickly found a used bud built automatic crossmember. new goes for 400 plus shipping. ekk. i was able to find one for 150 plus 40 to my friend that picked it up for me. it was only installed but never saw damage. anyways i got only 1 of the 2 parts installed. as you can see my crossover pipe is in the way so i will need to change my pipe or mod the skid plate. im leaning towards mod the skid plate to where it will wrap around the crossover for added protection. i not too worry about having more clearance at this time.

you should start your own thread instead of posting this same question on 20 other peoples page. it can be done with a 4 inch bracket lift
this is a 87 but should be the same for 2nd gen runner

this looks like the rear bumper im gonna do. its a weld together kit or buy compete. im not sure on the rear lower tubing but since the side armor is HUGE. a little tubing should help the weight out i guess. im just worry that it hangs to low since i tend to drop of on rocks all the time. runners are to long in the rear lol

the bumper is nice and almost what i want. if you look in the newest 4wd toyota owners mag, you can see his other one that looks like he wont be selling but is how i want . also want the spare tire to sit flat and not angled

wont be mad if anyone gets one. so i can get some better pictures. cbi has been really good so far about answer my questions

I'm actually on the hunt for a rear bumper myself. That one looks awesome!

Although I don't see it on their website.

you have to email him. he sells a weld together kit for like 399 and complete for 850. we both have the same front bumper and this is the only production plated bumper that would some what match. i just dont like the jerry can holder sticking out so far and spare tire at an angle
