Very nice. Looking forward to see the end results. I'm a bull bar fan myself, but tye cost $$. Besides, if everybody had the same accessories, it would be pretty boring here

Here are some more examples on a 2nd gen from the land of Oz.

I like that bar. It is really cool looking and fits that Runner very well. Yeah, keep us up to date with your whole process. I am sure that it will look great. Goodluck. :fireman:

Momo, I beleive it's only an overseas item, much like the clinometer I have.
Get a hold of JD on the forum here, and look him up.
He is in Australia, and often scours the boneyards over there, and may have seen them.
The other pics I have of the 2nd gen with the T16 on it came from him during a lunch break one day.
The Toyota pic may have come from him also, I can't remember.

Hmmm, my father-in-law's welder and plasma cutter have been collectling dust lately, maybe I should try my hand building one for our application...

There was a guy that posted named Dok4runner that has one, but i couldn't find any pics of his rig anywhere.
Edit:
I found it, but it looks like he removed the bar. Anyways he still has some pics http://dok-4runner.freeservers.com/index.htm

I'm also looking for something to mount my Lightforces up to, but those bars would allow the lights to take any impact instead of protecting them. I'm probably going to go with a custom prerunner style. I'm looking for some ideas, so if you've got pics of a nice tube bumper post them!
