Ohhhh, yeahhhh...
The top one does it for me, and it hides the fugly side of the 2nd gen 4Runner that is exposed if you go with a tube type like in the 2nd pic.

I may be up for a rear bumper some time, but I have no need for the swingout.
I do like that style very much.

the ones for the newer body style are major work to hide the nasty drop in the sides..i think its a fair price..can go cheaper but then they arent nearly as nice...
