RJLeagles build
This is my first time to do anything major to a vehicle  and i'm pretty excited about how its all turning out.
The first thing I did ,as i hear a lot of people do, was take off my running boards. pretty simple. good confidence boost 
Thanks to Savage Off-Road for great customer service and answering all my questions! with a few additions to hide the guts of the Runner it looks great. Had a lot of help from my former Scoutmaster on the cutting and welding. it will be on soon. 
more to come, stay tuned.

This is my Savage Off-Road bumper all fixed up.
We took the front plate off to get in tight spots.

my former scoutmaster did a great job welding on the extras.

Ok....I really need to see this on your 4runner. I am considering this bumper and the mods you were able to make to it just might sway me

i had to do a little bit of editing to get the brackets to fit correctly.
we made the cut on the bottom of each, and made it flush. these pics dont have that cut.

How did you manage to close most of the gap with how the bumper lines up with the body? I think all the pics I have seen of the Savage bumper has a gap as if you would have a body lift on it.

we added a top plate to fit under the headlights. the blinker brackets took care of the little triangle area.
the sides have nothing. not to say you couldn't add something but i left those open.
with out that top piece it looks like it sits out a lot farther than it does.

The gap with how far it sticks out is fine...what I am talking about is if you look at the pic I linked, it looks like there is a gap between the fender and the bumper like it is raised above it, kinda like if you did a body lift for example. If I look at your truck, its like the bumper tucks up a little higher and closes that gap between the tube and your fender flare...closer to that flare.

I looked at the picture and it looks like his mounting brackets are different than mine, not sure why.  The ones that savage sent me are not the same as the one in the picture you sent.
mine tucks right up under the flare. i think because my mounting brackets hold it closer to my runner's front... other than that im not sure.
