Aluminum Front Bumper Options
So after being one of many that was burned by the Pelfrey's financial situation, I am now looking into other aluminum bumper options. I loved the way theirs looked, but now on to new and better things.

What options are out there and what do you guys like? The only aluminum option I've been able to find is CBI.

Thanks for the help!

Hefty Fabworks. Chris and his team does the design, cutting, welding and he owns his own building. I have had very good experiences with him locally in Colorado.

I just got a 2016 4runner Limited. I know that the OEM front bumper is different than the other models, but do aftermarket bumpers all fit the same?

Chris has put his bumper on a limited before per this link. I don't think he made any adjustments to do so but I would call and ask.

Just took a look, it's a bummer that the light bars are mounted on top! Living near LA and going into the area for work having it mounted like that makes me uneasy.

So far CBI is what I'm leaning towards, but I want to make sure I do enough looking around before I settle on something.

If you want full front headlight guards, CBI it is.

Nah I’m not a fan of the full hoops. I like the low mid one. It’s the light bar being mounted on top of the bumper instead of inside that is a deal breaker for me.

Demello recently started to offer an aluminum option. They also posted on IG today that if you got burned by Pelf to send them your invoice for 30% off.

It requires cutting on the front bumper and all 4runners are the same under those plastics.
So it will fit on the Ltd.

Awesome I'll have to take a look and see what it looks like.
