that is the toyota grill guard for a 2nd gen 4runner, we had one on our 90, though ours was powder coat black. looks like he either found a chrome one (not sure if thats factory) or had it chromed.

that will NOT fit on your 3rd gen, especially the 99+ with out EXTENSIVE modification.

start looking else where. if you want chrome and stainless steel especially, jaos has some real nice stuff. http://www.jaosusa.com/

You'd be better off with using some tin foil and molding it into what you want.

I am take 6 welding courses at school right now so it will probably be cheaper to build one myself.

That grille guard will look bad on a 3rd gen! Thats just my 2 cents.
But it is a westin gaurd for the 2nd gen. http://www.westinautomotive.com/

I am in my last semester of college and I had to take 12 hours of electives. So I decided to take classes that would best compliment my degree in Building Construction and the welding classes met that. So if you want to continue doubting the fact, please be my guest.

Well I was just thinking how my college was setup, basically you had :

ARC/GAS -> MIG -> TIG

Each had Beginning and Advanced.

To get into advanced, you'd have to take the beginning first, so thats 6 classes right there yet you could only take 1 at a time.

Just wondering how you were able to take 6 at once? What are the differences in each class?

I am taking ARC, Axcy Cutting / Brazing, Weld Print Reading, Intro to Welding, Weld Testing, and Tig. I got advanced placement because I work for an ornamental metal company as a fabricator and welder(for two more months, thank God, time for a real job).

Those guards are also known as "damage multipliers"

Yeah dude, hope you are wearing some sunscreen

Also you'd probably be able to build your own bumper after these courses were taken!

Do the research.but that's why they call them push/brush gaurds, cus' they protect you from brush. Look into ARB or TJM they realatively close in price.----but, should you go that route check ebay chrome will run ya $379 and black $250 or Jason B. of Burtman industries can seriously get you whatever!
