At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it... but after seeing it from all angles I'd have to say it does look great. A winch on that front would definately compliment it...
Rob a bank (but use something else for the getaway car).

ok it looks good, but I have some constructive critisism (sp?). The center section is too plain. A cut out for a winch would help. But you might also consider getting some bump stops on there like they have on the TJM bumpers. It just needs something for the flat front facade.
Also I still don't like the cladding. I say you paint everything green to match the rest of the truck.
good luck with it!

That Demello cat does some nice work!!!! (Nice job Jason) 
Beautiful design. I love the integration of the stock signals!! Are you planning to have an additional section to cover the control arm mounts/crossmember?

I like the bumber, but is there a reason that the lower part of the radiator is exposed? May not be a problem in Ca, but on the east coast we have these things called trees and I could see a limb suck in the mud going right through it.

As Lance said the bumper is not done just yet. Still working out the little details. being the first one for a Late model 4runner that I have done it was a little tough getting the lines to line up. but I like the results. But after 3 days straight of 5:00am till 8:00pm I wasn't sure if it was right :pat:
The front part the big flat as I call it is going to be filled soon with a winch and possible lights. The reason the front part is so wide is cause of the 4runner frame. It's just really wide 36in to be exact! If I made it any smaller it just wouldn't look right.
I'm working on the rear right now, which is going to be just as hard as the front but I will do my best.
Back to work for now. Thanks for all the positive feed back, that makes it worth the long hours..
