Hey Scotty-
First of all, "Intervention", by far the most unbelievable piece of machinery and quality fab work I have ever seen! Congrats!
Second, I really like the look of your front tube bumper but have always been hesitant about them on ifs rigs. Do you possibly have pictures of that silver sport, ifs 4runner with the bumper on from a distance? If so, a photo showing the whole side of the runner with the bumper on and a photo of the front of the rig would be awesome!
Thanks a ton for all the inspiration!

Here are some more pics. Not of the Sport, but of an 02' we did a couple weeks ago next to John's 00' Sport.

Thanks for the pictures they were just what I was looking for.
What makes me hesitant is that my front end seems more exposed than with a plate bumper. However, after seeing those pictures, the winch plate seems to provide great protection to the radiator.
What I like about your bumper better approach angle I would get as compared to something like an ARB or secondhand TJM. Also the cross-member seems like it adds a lot of strength to the front end when winching. I like how winch plate seems to sit farther back and more centered over the frame so you don't have all this weight out in front of you.

Keep in mind also that this bumper does not effect the factory skid plate location either. So, the factory skid still works as well as any aftermarket skid like a Budbuilt or similar skid.Originally Posted by TAGroves

It also weighs in at only 68lbs, so its 70-80lbs lighter than an ARB or your typical plate style bumper.
Just shipped out SEVEN bumpers in the last two days! We also just had 500ft of tubing delivered today. We are catching up and should have turn times down to one week by the end of next week!
