Tube bumper
I've always liked the allpro winch bumper,but when I talked to allpro I couldn't get a straight answer regarding their tacoma bumper fitment to a 3rd gen 4runner.(they dont know too much about our 4runners)So I found a guy to build me a similar bumper.Its a little bigger than the allpro due to my 1" body lift,but he did a good job going off pictures. I promised him I would post pics in a couple of forums to help him get more customers.In case anyone is interested in a tube bumper(he doesn't make plate bumpers yet...see pikeman for that) send me a pm,and I'll get back with info.btw this guy went out of his way make it fit strong enough to my runner for winching.
I'll post more pics when its powder coated, and installed.Oh,and location is in so cal
He also did my sliders
Current bumper for sale if any locals interested

I would show a pic of what I like but metal techs website pics are down or atleast I can't see them right now. I love that bumper for the fjcruiser. Was thinking of getting one made locally as a direct copy for my 4runner.

Wow,
That new bumper looks great! Should be an excellent addition to your ride.
Nice find on the fabricator. What part of So Cal is he in?
Thanks

Correct...he did the same. Cut the frame rails and welded a plate for a 5th bolt.Very strong!

Looks real good man. I like the look and light weight of the tube bumpers but wanted a winch too. Looks like you've found the best of both. Can't wait for install pics.
