95 4runner Bumper build
First of all this is my first attempt at building a bumper, secondly the 2nd gen 4runner presents some interesting problems when trying to build a bumper. I opted to box in the ends of the frame rails and weld on Z shaped brackets to mount the bumper to. I also ran support legs through the body to the sides of the bumper which required cutting through the lower portion of the body panels. I will be adding recovery points and a swing out tire carrier when I get back to school. Constructive Criticism greatly appreciated. Any way heres the Crappy cell phone pictures!
