I've been considering putting something on the front of my 4Runner, but I don't want something so big like the full front brush guards. Also I have a custom grill I really like to show off and I think adding a brush guard would be too much for me. I remember seeing this sleek rounded chrome upside-down U-shaped piece on someone's 4Runner though, and it looked really nice. I decided that would be more fitting to my front end. Is it called a Bull Bar? Brush Guard? Grill Guard? Or something completely different? It was just one piece as it looked, and bolted in the same place as any other brush guard would. Any help is appreciated.

Could it be this TJM bullbar?... T-16

It kind of looks like what you are describing.

I have some really good pics of the T16, but since I had to go to a new server, they are not online anymore.

If I can dig them up later, I'll post them here.
They were shot by John Douglass from Australia.

PS, found them.

check out mine if you like...its a chrome one and EZ to install

 

The one I was thinking of is almost like the T16. It doesn't go as far up at x4RunnerTM7x's but a little farther up than the T16. TIt's design is simple, and that's why I like it. It is basically just a tube step bent into the upside-down U-shape, and rounded like the T16. Maybe I'm being picky though. It doesn't block the grill either. Thanks for the info.'s thus far though guys.

Another tip is to have it painted to match the truck.. The bumper will quite frankly disapear.. (take a look at my rig, and you can see it on the bug deflector, the flares, ect... you almost do not even know it is there)

 

exactly, i painted mine too....it was black plastic...toyota saving on paint cost or something lol...

 

Here's exactly what I want. http://www.ultimateautoaccessories.c...Bull_Bars.htm. Only this particular site doesn't have it for a 4Runner. It's rounded, sleek, simple, and there' even a place for aux. lights if I decide to do that. Some places just called it a center protector. A nyways it's perfect, now where to find it... Anyone know of some BIG 4Runner gear or off-road gear sites? Generallythe smaller ones didn't have it.
