So my buddy Rob got this wild hair up his ass to do something new for his 23y/o 4rnr that was different from the mainstream. This is the same guy that helped me chop off my IFS to go SAS. Once Rob got this idea the was no talking him down, dudes a fricking guided missile once locked in. I really think he hit the mark. We hoping you guys can give us some feed back.

Here's the mock up, base is TG winch plate.


Always best to reinforce the front crossmember for seroius recovery


Yes indeed a plate bumper.


Here is obvious the direction of this bumper build.


All pieces were laser cut including the boobies.


Hers'd the finished getting primered.


Painted and mounted


Tried to keep it tight but with enough room to tie in an exo later down the road.


Trails here are tight so tried to keep the bumper the same.



Here's his Warn M8000set in for fitment only

Working on some stinger ideas.

 

man thats cool stuff.

 

are those blinkers in the bumper

and if so you should bring the driver side one down a little bit

 

looks great!

 

is this truck gonna see streets? If so, it needs to maintain 4" all the way accross in hieght. Also min. bumper hight is 28 inches to the bottom i believe. Looks good otherwise. And I do like the idea of using the tg winch mount.

 

looks good and just put the blinkers in the corners if not already done

 

Nice work! Gunna be a badass base for the exo once you get to that

 

Be one helluva rare cop to ever cite that bumper for being illegal.

 

Thats exactly a bumper I'd buy =) Love it! Im lookn to do something similar off a TG winch plate. It's on the list =)

 

Oh they are out there. But I do agree its a good looking bumper. Can you lift off the sides of it without it tweaking?

 

Hello, I'm Rob. This is the ft bumper I built for my 4runner. Thanks for the comments and ideas. I'm looking for ideas for a rear bumper. I'm torn on buying or building...but leaning more toward building one to match the front.

This rig will see about 40 street 60 trail/forest roads. I did a lot of research of the State of Washington RCW's to obey to the law as much as possible. If someone knows a Washington state RCW that states 4" across the entire front, please PM ME with it.

I'm sure there will be alot of questions on the bumper, so here are some quick answers.

It's 3/16ths plate steel except for the 1/4" main winch plate

Yes, I can high-lift off the sides w/o warping or bending the bumper.

Boobie girls are blinkers; my factory blinkers were only in the front...as are these. (I'll do the corner marker blinker mod later)

It'll eventually have a grill/headlamp guard for added protection.

The photos are bad, however it's level all the way across the front. The blinkers are also centered below the headlamps.

Blinkers will be LED's later.

 

ill have to say, this is the best lookin homemade bumper ive seen made!! awesome job, and lovin the breasticles as blinkers.

Really nice bumper...the blinkers make it 100x better. One of a kind, thats for sure!

 

Wondered when you would sign up here. Of course me posting pics of your bumper helped

Welcome to YT

I'll let you field the questions.

 

Hey Mudd, saw this sick bumper on NWW! Nice stuff man, great job trailyota1!!!

 

Yeah dude, I got pulled over for my bumpers and got told to loose 4" of height OR ELSE...

 

Sweet looking bumper!!!

 

Now that is a good looking bumper! Nice work man.

 

I love plate bumpers. Here's what I did for the back, it matches my front pretty close.
