Hello ladies and gents. Any tips on where to get a tube front bumper?
Searched the forum and found a couple of custom jobs, and one vendor who no longer exists. I was hoping to find a tube bumper, one that replaces the lower end of the stock bumper, from right underneath the stock fog lights. I contacted one of the members here who had made there own, but no luck in receiving a response. I was hoping for something along these lines (photo courtesy of one Mr. easyrider18).
I am in New York City and spend some time in Northern NJ, Bergen County area. Thank you for any leads.

Probably not what you’re looking for but the new hybrid bumper from C4 Fab is pretty freakin sweet! It’s tubes... more or less. Not custom but.... is nice to look at.

JK I see you’re wanting to keep the stock bumper.

These are the only tube bumpers I know of in production.
Store - Hefty Fabworks
2014+ 4Runner Hybrid Front Bumper | C4 Fabrication
If you're really looking to save the stock fogs, maybe look into the "lo-pro" bumpers that are around? SSO, C4, Victory, and WARN all have a version... the SSO might be of particular interest to you since they have the high clearance "wings" available when you trim your front wheel well bumper cover.

C4 has the "wings" available now as well.

That looks fairly simple. Maybe you could find a local welding/fabricating shop and have them make something similar.
You would probably have some down time with them having to fab it.

Thank you for the suggestions! I liked that one too, but its a bit much for my needs. I wanted something really minimalist.

Thanks for the links and suggestions. Wanted something more simple. I love the idea of a single tube running across the bottom.

Great suggestion, thank you. I will actually try googling for a local fabrication shop.

You have exhausted your search effort. It's custom or the options listed. I always ask vendors but they don't seem very interested.

Try SDHQ - Your Motorsports Headquarters they fab up a ton of projects and they are very familiar with the style of bumper you're looking for. Send along that picture when you inquire about it.

That's what the old thread is for. You don't make a new one. Bump the old one. This clogs the search results. Forum etiquette is appreciated. It's not a message board.
