Thanks for the positive comments guys. My plan is to make a jig from this bumper for the future. It bolts into the stock holes on the lower portion of the frame, (4 per side) and then I used a factory hole in each side of the frame for the front brackets. I slipped a 1/2 bit into the factory hole and drilled the inside of the frame which allowed me to slip a 1/2" grade 8 bolt horizontally through the frame toward the front of the bumper. A very easy bolt on procedure.

This is a 3rd gen 4R, and I'd really like to know if any of you know if this bumper will fit on any other generation 4R's...? My goal is to offer something for the future because it doesn't seem like many companies offer much for the 4R.

 

Hey I'm in Solana Beach. Id be interested if the price is right. I definetly need one that is able to hold a swing out tire carrier though. Pushing a 35' tire on a steel wheel up onto the roof rack is not fun

 

some shots after painting just the bumper, the lower parts of the quarter panel will be painted black too but today was short on time. a few night pics...




...better pics will come tomorrow.

 

...one more a bit closer

 

oceanside huh? does he offer a military discount? lol i bet he hates Marines, like the rest of the locals, but if the prices are right, i might be willing to come down for my 2nd gen

 

I'm not sure about miltary discounts but his prices are better than anyone around. BTW-marines are awesome!

Maybe use a aluminum wheel on the spare? I'll get moving on this whole *price* thing too. I will say, with the amount of time & materials put into this thing, it'll be somewhere near the $550 - $650 margin, (hitch, shackles, steps...etc...) because any less just wouldn't be worth it. I'll come up with a options list and price's very soon. I build all sorts of things so it's just a matter of finding time to sit down and figure things out so nobody get screwed, which can happen very easily on my end. I try to build a better product than mainstream aftermarket for better prices. That's my #1 goal always.

Why would I hate people who make personal sacrifices in their lives and with their families in the name of keeping our country safe and allowing guys like myself to do whatever I feel like doing?

I live in the marine mecca and used to deliver soft water tanks on Camp Pendleton and that's when my eyes opened up to the sacrifices you guy's & gals make for us. Leaving your car/truck projects in the garage and your pretty wives and cute kids for many months at a time for who....US ! Thank you! My parts always come with a discount. oorraahh to you buddy.

 

it goes with what Marines are good at, Drinking, Fighting, And Fing, and sometimes it gets us in trouble. i usually try to stay out of oceanside. usually head up north or far down south.

 

That is a great looking bumper! Let us all know when your ready to start producing them, If you don't need the rig in person I would love to have one shipped!

 

For that price I'd be interested in one.

 

That will only bolt onto 96-02 4Runners. Good work man. Best of luck with the sales.

 

hey when you get a minute, can you see if a spare 33' would fit under the rear of that truck?

 

not to mention extra weight would be exactly where u dont want it!!!

they are already top heavy from all the glass.

 

a 33" tire won't fit on mine but Brian could probably make a bumper that would fit one if that's what you wanted.

 

we got the plates on tonight, I still need to paint the lower part of the quarter panel flat black but that'll happen this coming week hopefully. Well, here's some pics...

 

Got some more good ideas at the offroad expo today in pomona!

 

Did you take your camera? Travis I'm still interested in building that jig when we find the time. I'd like to offer a few styles ranging from yours down to some simpler designs that would be a bit more affordable, as options are always good. Ranging from about $225 up to $650 or so. Here are a couple I did for the Tacoma, the non wraparound is $259 +shipping. He paid $79 to have it shipped UPS ground from CA to NY. Custom fab shipped right to your door.

 

I'll be callin' you soon about that front bumper with winch mount and i'm likin' the variety and options.

 

hey did beef make your sliders too? measurements? I like the look of the tube, if you decide to pull the trigger on that front bumper, take some pics! and for Beef, how much work do you think it would be to make a 33 fit under the rear?

 

Dude I love these SoCal guys! I am from Vista but born and raised in Solana Beach. I need to get out and see your guy's rigs sometime. I have plans for my truck, but they are gonna take some time. As per usual.

Oh, and even though some Marines, especially the young ones, are pains in the ass, I salute everyone of them around here for protecting us.
