The best price I found on the internet for the front bumper is $565.99. I called a local 4X4 shop and they gave the list prices as over $700 for the front and over $800 for the rear. They said they'd sell them for $650 each because they get such a good deal from Warn. I called 4 Wheel Parts Supply and they quoted a price of about $580 for the front and just over $600 for the rear. I wonder why the rear is more expensive. It must be the mounting brackets. I haven't seen any good pictures of the bumpers. It would sure be nice to check out the guts of these bumpers. Hmmmm . . . . . are these things worth it? . . . . compared to ARB or TJM?

I went down to 4 Wheel Parts Supply to check out what a warn bumper looks like up close. They look and feel very tough. I rechecked the internet and found www.gowarn.com. Their prices are 559.95 frt. and 549.95 rr. Shipping to CA is $85 plus a $4.50 handling charge. 4 Wheel Parts will match the price but also add the shipping/handling charges as well as tax ($85.24). Is 4WPS customer service worth the extra $85.24 I'd pay buying from them?

I personally wouldn't pay any extra from 4wps with the qualit of their service
they should be paying you rather then the other way around, unless your dead set on Warn brand you might want to try looking around to have someone fab it for you, it would probably cost like $300 shipped.

Nice, sounds like a pretty good price for a nice looking bumper. Have you ever seen or messed with an ARB or TJM in person? If so you will have to tell us how the Warn compares in person. Can you find the ARB or TJM's in that price range? I wonder why Warn would say it will not fit a 4runner? What would the difference be in that area of the truck?

Actually I see in your mod list that you have a TJM. Are you ditching it for the Warn?

Warn is awsome... they're the benchmark for Winches (think what you like, they are) they're a Local Portland OR company, and their customer service is flat out Awsome...

I've got a friend who's been working for them for years and I think I'm gonna have to do some research on fitting one of those Front's to my Gen1 4Runner... I wouldn't wory about the quality if that's the question, they're definately tough as hell and Warn backs their products fully.
