3rd Gen 4Runner custom rear bumper

This high clearance BruceTS inspired custom rear bumper is less than 2 years old and is in good condition. It was designed to fit with a 2" body lift. The brackets and main 2x4 beam are 3/16" steel. The side wings are made out of 1/8" steel. The 2" receiver is welded through both walls of the structural steel as well as the shackle mounts. The finish is one coat of powdercoat primer followed by a black satin powder coat finish. So far it is holding up well. Some of the welds aren't nice to look at but they are strong. Keep in mind that this not a production piece and it does have blemishes. For example there are some small crevises that didn't get completely filled when welded and the powdercoating just can't get into the really small ones resulting in tiny rust spots. These can be easily touched up with some paint. Also included with this bumper is a 2.5' section of custom tailpipe which is bent to exit over the frame and through the hole in the bumper.
ASking price is $700 OBO. Local pick up only in Monroe, CT.

Man thats a nice piece of work. Looks good, wish it wasn't for a 2" bl though. I'm sure it won't last long.

Eventually. I have it back to stock now so that it will be better for a daily commuter in case I sell my DD first. I have a 98 BMW as a DD and I was using the 4Runner for occasional offroading and homedepot runs for projects at our condo. The wife and I are in the process of buying a house so a pickup truck will be much better for the all the bigger projects ahead. Plus both cars are high mileage, time to consolidate. Hopefully I will get something just for wheeling in a year or two.
