I'm pretty sure he knew that but DeMello doesn't make it for 2nd gen 4runners which was the original question.

Yeah, I know 4rnr, I just wheeled with him this past weekend

But the one I'm looking for is slightly different if you compare the 2 pics. Thanks anyways!

If anything I'll have to get him to modify the allpro one to look like this one...


After all the guy is fabricating his own exo-skeleton.

Oh my bad, i did not see where he said for 2nd gen runner... You could take that picture to a local fab shop and they could custom make it for you im sure, although custom work is not cheap...

Yeah, you can't find any Custom shops like that around Chicago. I think I'm the only person that wheels a yota out of Chicago

Bumper was $750

They told me to just use the bumper as a tow point. They could probably throw a hitch on there some how.

A hitch hitch like the allpro one above would be ideal.

So yeah, see what info you can get for me. I'd appreciate it!

I'm guessing they don't have a website?

I am kinda looking at the one from Big Rocks Offroad--but I don't want the hitch. I am looking to have a couple shackle hangers welded on so I can still keep my spare under my truck and still have good recovery points. I would also like to see a support going from the end of the wings to the frame for more side impact protection.....who is going to make it for me??

Marc you probably want something like this then from badland bumpers...



Maybe you can ask them to weld the shackle hangers as well.
