rear bumper replacement on 96 Runner?

I live in Canada (Toronto) and my rear bumper rusted through -
there are couple holes. It looks pretty ugly.
BTW the taillgate is in a bad shape too, but I probably will fix it soon.

What options I have for replacement?

I see these

1. Toyota - expensive

2. ARB - do they make rear ones? Won't be cheap either.

3. Smittybuilt - someone mentioned some product, but I couldn't find it.

Thank you all
LK

arb doesn't make anything for the rear of a 4runner. neither does smittybilt.

you're stuck w/ custom rear bumpers like sonoran steel, armorology, and others.

well for stock replacement you can keep your eyes in the yt classifieds.
i.e. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...ghlight=bumper.

or you can sand yours down fiberglass the holes and repaint it yourself.
Also check some junk yards in T.O. I;m sure theres gotta be a 96-02 rear bumper somewhere.

Sonoran Steel no longer makes rear bumpers, the product was discontinued due lack of profit.

I had bought bumper ends here:
http://www.speedycarparts.com/
Check it out, they may have what you need. The prices aren't bad for replacement aftermarket parts.

I checked out the link that jethro posted. If I was to buy bumper ends again, I would get that whole bumper. That is a cool deal there.
