I'm not sure, but if the T4r bumper mounts to the frame the same way the Tacoma bumper mounts (I believe they share the same frame) I bet it could be done. I'm just not sure how much cutting would need to be done. That's, unfortunately, well above my pay grade though.

I'm not sure there would be any conversion necessary. It looks like it would fit as is. I want that!

2014+ 4Runner Slimline Hybrid front bumper - Front Bumpers - Southern Style OffRoad

I really like the SouthernStyle Offroad too. If anyone have any info on either one, that would be great.

Is that your hidden winch vehicle? I like it. I would like to know where you got that panel around which allows for the fog light?

Which brand of hidden winch is that?

Thank you

Would much rather have the added protection of a steel bumper with hoops.
Ditto this.
Though I have a different gen, I want a full metal bumper with hoops. Where I live is open range so cattle encounters happen. We also have a lot of burros roaming around.
Aluminum is fine for me. Sure is tougher than the plastic facia that is OEM.

This looks like budbuilt, It's perfect for a smaller sub 10k winch and lights. I had a badland apex and it bulged a bit, but was already planning to go full metal.
