That's NICE!!!!
They don't have Runners listed yet on the website though.
I emailed Wayne to get a price for mine.

That does look nice, but I can tell from here that it is mounted to tight to the body. I would hope that bumper is mounted to the frame unlike the stock bumper which is mounted to the body. With the flex in the frame and body mounts that bumper will be bashing into the body a lot. It just needs a tad more clearence.

hmmm I wonder if they are going to enter the world of Toyota. THey had 2 different (red, and white) toys on that webshots site.
He had a 1" RB lift, and king coilovers.
I too would like to get a price for that, I suppose if it's mounted to the frame, then the bumper would work well for someone with a body lift, since that would maybe give the extra clearance. I would like shackle hangers on it though. I also like the backup lights.

I emailed them from home last night so I won't see a response until later tonight.
So, if anyone else gets any info during the day be sure and let us know

that bumper has been around forever, that was the only one that was ever built last i heard and it was something ridiculous like $1500 or more. There were some posts on it back on 4x4wire before this board ever exsister. Good luck moving forward on it though. But as i recall it was a one off item.

Okay, so here's the email I just got from him. It looks like with a few clarifications this might be a viable option for folks with or without a tire carrier:
Well, I accidentally posted the wrong thing. Sorry for the confusion if you saw it and I'll get his return email hopefully back soon. Sorry about that!

Here's the reply I got today. I hope he drops in here to say Hi. We have a lot to teach him about Toyotas.....
Paul,
I'm not sure, but would I be correct in saying the '02 is a 3rd gen 'runner? Whatever the answer, I don't have any of them dialed to the point of production. All work has been custom so far, ranging from about $900-$2500. The bumper pictured on the tan 4runner on yotatech was about $2300.
Production focus may be later this year, after I drop Jeep assembly to another facility. That will free me up to design new products again.
Thanks,
Wayne Hanson
