**UPDATE**
Prototype V1 has landed. Super stoked to get it built up and just to see it in the flesh. Already have a few changes we'd like to make just by seeing it, but super excited as an initial cut. It's soooo simple and will be so easy to fab together. Stoked! Still lots to do though. Again, thank you all for the stoke and excitement. We have lots of things to do as a business and as a product before these officially hit the market, but we will continue to update as things move along.
Keep in mind this is the lower bumper only (our fully redesigned upper bumper that I've shared renderings of, will be coming down the prototype pipeline a little later. ) And now, the teaser until I can get it built. Obviously had to flat-lay the parts as soon as we opened the box:

As someone who doesn’t want to dive into a full on offroad bumper, this looks so ideal! Glad to see someone coming up with a ‘low profile’ option. So excited to see the finished product!

Definitely interested in this! I'm looking to go an OEM+ route with my truck, and this check's pretty much all the boxes I've been looking for and looks like it weighs quite a bit less than most of the other aftermarket bumpers I've seen. Not sure if I missed this somewhere in the thread, but will there be any option to have these pre-welded and will they be shipping to the US? Can't wait to see how the prototype looks once its welded!

I'm so excited for this-- can't wait to see what else you conjure up, Addison!

Would this work on a 1997? Make sure it can ship to Canada, that’s an issue I’m seeing with a lot of brands.
I feel like this is the bumper I’ve been looking for— nothing too bulky or overstated. I know a good welder too.
Would you need to relocate the fluid tank on the front passenger side or would it still be hidden by your bumper design?

Thanks! We will be shipping across North America. No pre-welding at this time but we will definitely be looking at this in the future. We have designed it to have as minimal welding as possible while keeping shipping costs low and lead times also low.

Appreciate that! Lot's more in the works. I'll be sharing some sliders soon as well.

Yes it will work with all 96-02' 4Runners. Our HQ is in Nelson and bumpers will ship from Vancouver BC.
RE: Washer fluid tank being hidden - I think so, but will confirm once I install #1 on my truck!

I was away in Austin for the F1 race last weekend (my first race, wow it was insanely awesome!!) but should be putting in some time over the weekend to make some more progress and grab some more photos on the bumper.
Stay tuned. ;)

Not to be left out, I'll add that I saw Senna, Prost, Mansell, and the rest race on the city-street course in Phoenix in 1991. Montreal in '99. There's nothing like F1 even though I grew up on Can-Am at Laguna Seca seeing 917s, etc.
