wasn't someone on here recently having Stubb's welding make them a rear bumper for a 3rd gen 4runner? Does anyone have any pictures of it?

 

Alan (HaveBlue) inquired about that, but sounded like Richard hasn't had time to work on it, so no, one hasn't been completed yet. To my knowledge anyway.

Alan will probably chime in later tonight as he recently lost access to YT at work during the day. I just can't imagine what he's going through!

 

thats who it was...i am always looking for rear bumper designs. I really like the one on Hersch's 2nd gen thats forsale right now. Someone on here that recently started posting has an ORS rear bumper on their 3rd gen i want to see some pics of that.

 

The ORS' bumper can be found on their site. I believe that is Kerry's, who you speak of from the board, but I'm waiting for him to reply to a message I sent to confirm.



I didn't know the 2nd Gen was for sale. That is Mike Hershauer's which you are referring to? That is the sweetest 4Runner I have ever seen, and yes, the bumper is cool, too.

 

I just checked ORS's site, and I could find anything on the bumpers.

I assume you mean that you couldn't find it on the site. You didn't look long enough, but it's in their showcase section. Not much info, though. That's the only picture of the bumper they have. They have another one of the 4Runner on the same page.

 

How much is it?

Chris

 

that is officially my favorite rear bumper made for a 3rd gen thus far. i still really like Hersch's with the 1x4 laid across the back and the receiver mounted below...that is the ultimate in ground clearance.

 

Where can the Hersch's be found at?

Chris

 

it was forsale on the 4x4wire forum

 

So who makes it or was it a one time thing?

Chris

 

It was custom.

Every couple of months people rattled his cage on it and the dude who did it kepy saying now. This has been going on for as long as I have been on the Toyota boards.

 

Is there any pictures of it somewhere, so I can get some ideas?

Chris

 

I think he paid about 1100 bucks for that rear bumper too.

 

Here is Mike's Bumper.

His Earthlink site had more, but it's taken down now since he doesn't use them for an ISP, but it stayed up for quite awhile after he quit.

I have the pics on my hard drive from his Earthlink page, I'll have to dig them up and post them later, if I can find them.

There were also pics on www.kongs4x4.com but their site is now gone.

And yes, I dig his rear bumper, and showed it to Jeff at www.badlandbumpers.com and he said he could dupe it, but your rig would have to be there in order to get it made.

 

Thanks Corey! I like it! That's how I want my rear tire carrier, because I like the idea of it being centered instead of offset to one side. The only difference I'm going to do is have it open the other way since I'm the driver and would come from that side everytime.

hello every body yes thats my bumper if you let me know what pictures you need ill run out and take them. mike caskey at ORS built it for me and it was around $1100.00 if memory serves me? i am very pleased with the construction and he made special effort to make my departure anlge as steep as it cold be i must say that the guys at ORS are awesome and do really good work!
let me know
kerry

 

i would like to see a picture from the side, to show how it wraps around the body and how far it sticks out in the back. it is one awesome bumper.

 

The story I got was that the dude stopped fabricating stuff so that he could spend time with his wife and newborn baby. That was a couple years ago. I guess he's quit for good. Too bad because I'd be willing to pay good $$$ for a copy of that bumper.
