Overland build
I've been lingering here for awhile now. Reading, coming up with ideas on what to do to my Runner that I purchased in Oct 2019.
Decided Ive aimed for overland primarily, weekend trips out, long road trips etc.
I've decided to post updates and progress on here for some more suggestions or ideas from other members and most of my progress pics ive posted on insta prjt4nr that you can see on there.
My old bumper looked okay on the outside but crush can was ****ed. So I decided to start there so here goes.
Pulling out the bumper was a bit troubling the crush can was bent in and bumper shifted to the left, nothing a hammer can't fix.

New bumper weld job. Went pretty smooth but adjustments had to be made for internal clearances.

looks pretty stout. Will be interested to see finish pictures. Might need to do something with suspension to take the weight

Designing your own or going off a kit? Looks pretty good so far

Yeah, I've been doing some research, they do have king suspension set for a 4runner, that or toytec or bilstien einbach combos.

Tubes
tube job, normally that I've seen others lean their tubing forward alot, this one decided to tuck in more for a tighter look. So when the hood opens I have about 3/8s clearance from hood corners.

So far the front dropped only by 1/4. Not bad but still, new suspension is in the works.

Nice looking bumper! My only question would is this held up with only the 4 bolts (2 per side)?

Looks like a Coastal Offroad. Is that the high clearance bumper?

No its held on by 3 bolts per side. With an option for a 4th.
6 total, optional to add 2 more.

Coastal offroad it is sir. And yes high clearance. I was thinking about the arb bumper but weighs too much and only one set look.

Looks killer! I got my ARB three years ago and while I still really like it, I'm digging the high clearance Coastals more and more. Too bad I don't know how to weld myself, and I'm stuck on the college kid budget for now. It looks like your grille's so tight with the center hoop you can't take it out? Not sure why you'd ever need to, just curious.
