Can anyone out there direct me towards a rear bumper w/ a tire carrier for my '95 4Runner? I am kinda picky so pictures would be great. I am planning to buy an ARB front bumper this week & want to swap out the back as well. One idea I had was to buy one of the custom Cherokee bumpers & try to modify it to fit? One other question. Is there a classified section for parts? I will have a factory front bumper & Smitty Built Brush Guard for sale really soon.

Here's some pictures of my favorite Bumper i've seen so far .

Oh by the way looking at your sig. I was wondering how well your 3.0 runs with all the MODS you've done. What MOD made the biggest difference.? What kind of gas mileage do you get?

I'm getting ~10 MP, so I'm replacing the O2sensor.

Have great day

That's a good looking bumper. Why doesn't anyone make them?

So far the most noticeable change has been the addition of the headers & a full 2.5" cat free exhaust. My mileage I think is around 14 & slightly better on road trips.

That bumper that Mike had made is a custom job.
Most rear bumpers are, as not to many places mass produce them like a front ARB or TJM.

I plan on getting one similar to that one made up for my rig.

I don't know why nobody makes them, it's not like it's hard to do. Mine was a lot more work than I thought to make, but once one is made it should be pretty easy. I mean, all it is, is 3 pieces of steel welded together.

I need a garage...

That is nice, and very similar to a lot of the custom ones that are being fabbed up at shops around the country.

It would be nice if a few companies mass produced these.

The place I deal with is www.badlandbumpers.com and if I get one made, I'm sure he can make copies of it once he has the final design down.

That's cool. If they can do a bumper like that let me know the cost. With some luck maybe it won't cost over a thousand.
