2014+ CBI Aluminum Bumper - Toyota 4Runner Forum

harkco · 01-08-2018, 02:46 PM

Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone that may be interested in another bumper option. I installed CBI's new aluminum bumper this weekend for the 2014+s.

Bumper fit and finish is awesome. Weight comes in around 59 pounds. Only negative was basically having no instructions other than a few notes that CBI emailed me.

I will post more pics in my build thread this afternoon if anyone wants to see more. Also, finished up late, so the pics don't show the front winch plate which I didn't put on until this morning.

This CBI bumper is my favorite. If I ever change up my front end I'll be doing their aluminum version. Did you have to bend your the AC line to get the bumper to fit?

Wow its really nice! The fit and finish are excellent as well

Nope - they actually have a cut out on the inside of the bumper to accommodate for it.

Can you mount the winch through that access plate without dropping the bumper?

Edit: on second look, seems the access behind the plate is a little tight to mount a winch without dropping the bumper.

That bumper is so good! The only bumper to come out that makes me want to finally do a full front bumper.

Love how this bumper has the faux vent looking areas around the fog lights to flow with the OEM piece. My favorite aftermarket bumper by far.

I'm sold. Wow. I have Mag Gray as well. That looks fantastic.

That would be nice, but unfortunately no. Dropping the bumper, however, is pretty easy - 10 bolts total.

IMHO, the bumper looks good if you keep it black. The CBI sponsored 4runner had the bumper colormatched white, and honestly, your eyes focused on where the lines don't line up.

I dig this bumper on mag grey.

I've been thinking about getting this bumper. Can you put the factory fog lights on it or do you need to get something else?

My wallet just got a little lighter

Damn! I’ve been waiting to see one with only the center hoop. That looks sick. My two year build plan is getting more and more compressed.

You should definitely add pics of the install if you took any. This and the HeftyFab bumper are my favorites as far as looks for the exact reason you stated, flowing with the original cover design cues. Congrats man looks great.

I've been very on and off about this bumper. It wont be until sometime next year that I actually do a bumper and im debating doing a full bumper or the C4 Fab lo-pro bumper or an aluminum bumper. How do you think the recovery points will hold up over time since its aluminum? Did you also have to relocate the windshield washer tank?
