3rd Gen 4runner tube front bumper

Does anyone know if any company makes a tube front bumper for a 3rd gen 4runner? I find them for 1st, 2nd, and 4th gens and for all tacos but no 3rd gen 4runners! I'm looking for something like what all pro offroad sells or marlin crawler. Or... are the taco front bumpers interchangable with the same year 4runner?

No such animal exists unless you have one custom made.

I give it about 4-5 more years and we'll probably see Marlin or All-Pro start making them, hopefully.

Since people install ARB Taco Bull Bars on 4Runners, I assume that the All-Pro Taco Tube Bumper will work on the 4Runner as well. It may require different mounting, but I bet it's close.

I just called All-Pro and asked about fitting a Taco bumper...he said one guy bought and tried it but had to do all kinds of modifications ("cutting and welding") to mount it.

So i asked if they ever plan on offering a bumper for 96-02 4runners and the reply was, "Unfortunately we don't get enough requests. We only get about one 4runner call every 2 weeks versus five Tacoma calls per day".

Looks like we all need to make a call to them everyday. That will show him.

If you guys are talking about the Armorology, I couldn't agree more. That thing is sick and their rears are sweet too. But man is that a lot of money for a poor student! Someday...
