new pictures!! (drool)
i sent you a PM, but basically, yeah, if you ever make one for a 2003 4runner, i will be first in line.
in the meantime ... i'll just have to hope you receive enough interest from others to keep you going.

I drove up through BC into the Yukon/Alaska this summer, driving the Alcan. Its beautiful country to say the least.
I've been trying to find someone to fab a rear bumper for 3rd gen without much luck, as many of us have, so I'd consider driving up to be the test vehicle. I'm thinking we could get alot of the design work done over the web, with myself and others taking various measurements, and then I'd just have to drive up for a test fit. I'm not looking for something with a tire carrier, which really adds onto the cost and design work, just a simple metal plate bumper.

Im curious. Are the rear bumpers as bad as the front bumpers on 4 runners. Ive never really looked at the rear bumpers . What are they made of? Plastic?
Sorry. No bars 854. I just cant do the bars. I honestly dont think you need the bars. If you really really needed the bars then maybe.lol

How about you FedEx me one of your nice new bumpers for a 2nd gen and I just drive it around for a while and see how it works? And I won't even charge you for the extra gas that the 70lbs needs!!!

That's a great looking bumper, zedex. Very different from most designs on the market. If you need a third gen test case, I'm available. (I have a 99)
I'm only about an hour south of Vancouver!

There's always a huge market out for these, but nobody seems to be able to mass produce any. Even so, once it comes down to it, people look at the price of custom fabbed stuff and back out. I'm just letting you know of what I've seen in the past, and if you want, ask Steve Schaeffer or Mike (Azrain) about their experience with producing equipment. It seemed like they went through hell.
But all in all, good luck with everything, your stuff looks really sweet, and if I was into hardcore wheelin then I'd be interested as well.
