Question Marlin Crawler bumper pictures?

does anyone have pics of Marlin crawler front and/or rear hilux/4runner bumpers?

I have a 1989 pu ..i'm looking at a 1.5 inch bodylift and wanted to see how that looks with the Marlin bumpers on a 1989-1995.5 bodystyle pickup..

would a 1.5" bodylift will be enough to avoid trimming the panel under the tailgate?.. and also avoid any complications with the rear license plate.

does anyone have experience with these bumpers? from what i've read, Marlin has some good products and poor customer service. any input would be appreciated. thanks!

Ive had some bad service with them but thats because they have a small and busy staff. They work hard and make great products. Check out there site for some pics even there forum. They have one that have plenty of marlin pics and such of bumoers and sliders ect...

Great company. I've ordered some stuff from them in the past and I've been impressed with them. You won't be disappointed. Hell, they even sent me a Christmas card!

I like the idea of the liner on there instead of powder or paint. How much did it cost to spray?

I rolled it on and it was like 20 bucks for the smaller can at walmart plus like a few bucks for 80grit sandpaper and a roller. but i kinda wish i would have sprayed it on it would have been quicker and more even, but i didnt really have access to a sprayer

I'm planning on building my own but copying some of the Marlin Design. Looks pretty easy to do!

bumper installed on my '81




And no I don't think 1.5" body lift would be enough to clear the bumper with out trimming (granted mine is an '81), here is what I trimmed:
