The signals are factory Toyota signals.
It looks like I may have part of the fog harness on the truck already. There is a plug hanging in the corner right near where the factory fog would have been. I wonder if I will be able to use that? Hmmmmm.
I will post (try to anyway) a shot of the bumper on the truck tomorrow.

It took the fabrication shop one day to make it. Yeah, I paid.
I wanted a bolt-in panel but it just wouldn't work so we ended up deciding on a weld-in panel. I was worried about putting the fogs too close to the bumperettes but I think that this setup will work OK.
It is slightly recessed but it does not show in that single picture.
I will take some angled shots tomorrow and make an attempt to post them.

You should be able to use this depending on the level of control that you want. The factory fogs automatically come on with the low beams and turn off with the high beams.
Thanks for the scoop.

By the way.....
My 4Runner did not droop at all, not even a 1/16" when the TJM was installed on the stock suspension. What's up with that? I expected (sort of) to see a little lowering from the extra weight even though I do not have a winch in there. Hmmmm.

Edit: Bama, looks like the design is not going to work as nicely as the stock bumper. But thanks for the offer.

There is a guy here in Auburn that has a T-17 for sale for like $200. It was scuffed in an accident and the insurance company paid for a replacement bumper. You could get the T-17 and the brush guard shipped to your door for about $350...
Let me know if you want me to check on the bumper...

Good luck trying to get in touch with that guy who has the t17 I tried b/f i bought my bumper and he would not reply to me. I like the intergrated lights that you did. Reminds me of the ARB safari bar (i think thats the name of it). Looks nice!
