Just curious can I make this ARB bumper for a Tacoma fit my '95 2nd gen 4runner? I love the look of this bumper and want something beefier on the runner, I also plan to get a winch and this would facilitate that. I'm assuming that this bumper has not been altered as far as the mounting brackets go. Also if modifications would be needed, I have some fairly decent welding skills and could possibly fab it to fit. Any input would be appreciated, I guess my question is will this work on my 4runner or is it possible to make it.

Here's the link, this guy may come down on price because it's been on a while but hows the advertised price ($300?)

that bumper is for an explorer...? not sure where you got tacoma from? and you can make anything fit with the correct brackets. I have a TJM on my 2nd gen, its basically the same thing as an ARB and I love it. but mine was also made for a 2nd gen 4runner.

 

The add says its for a Tacoma in the title so I assumed. I may get ahold of the guy and verify that but thank you for your input

 

ya i think the guy who posted the ad isnt quite sure wat hes selling... i mean it could be a tacoma bumper modded to fit an explorer but that would mean u should make sure wat he did to mod this to fit his explorer is reversable so u can make it fit ur 4runner.

 

It doesn't look like a tacoma bumper? no idea. but besides the point, it could be made to fit your truck, if you're willing to take the time. like you said you have welding skills... so i have no doubts about you fitting this to your 4runner

 

ya i just found one in dallas, tx for a jeep grand cherokee and would love to make it fit but i dont have any welding skills yet...

 

I bought my TJM off CL for 400 bucks couldn't argue that... haha

 

Looks like this one, I just put a winch in mine, if you get measurements from him i will compare them to mine for you then you will know for sure.

 

I will get in touch with the guy tomorrow and get some measurements, then let ya know SupraRunner (by the way yours looks great) thanks everyone for your thoughts.

This looks similar to the one I was looking at on CL and it is for a tacoma so i'm not sure I have an E-mail in to the guy so hopfully i'll know soon

 

What is the wrench size on the ARB mounting bolts? My uncle has a 4Runner out on his farm with a ARB bumper he offered me so I want to make sure I have all the right size tools before I head out there.
