Haha. I have some ideas after seeing that, but it'll have to wait in line behind a few other projects we've got scheduled...

I think I found a company to make one. They were going to make me a prototype front bumper and they said they were interested in this as well.

To be honest the wait times is what turns me off, pay up front wait 5-6 months for the products (if your lucky) and get a product that is plastered with advertisement logos like a reverse sponsorship.

FWIW - I have a rear bumper skid that bolts on underneath that is not a cut, just a bolt on option. Works well. Could easily be modified for more corner clearance. I did it this way so I could just drop it off when I'm not going wheeling. Requires 6 bolts. Basically it bolts on exactly how the heavy duty trailer hitch assemblies go on - using the same hardware and mounting points. I've had a few folks ask about producing them, but I've never really been serious about it. If I had some free time I could probably draw up the DXF files. I think there's a market for someone to replicate it. The only trick is that the frame has a weld bead down the middle, so you need to work around it. You can see the funky cutout of the mounting flange area on the GX460 class 3 hitch. It's made that way so it doesn't sit on the frame welds.
I've done a fair amount of "testing" and it's held up well.

OH I HATE WAIT TIMES. I'm with you. I can't believe how much this stuff costs and the wait times with them keeping your money...

SUPER EXCITED Y'ALL! Just got back from dropping off my 4Runner at SOS Offroad Concepts in Laurens, SC. He is making a me a "hybrid full front bumper" for my 4Runner then doing the rear high clearance cut. He's hopefully going to make the rear high clearance cut bolt on so you can remove them if you want.
I'll keep y'all in the loop and make sure to post pictures when I pick it up.

hopefully it will have d-ring recovery points and maybe HL jack points... but the latter is doubtful

just get a recovery point for your rear hitch
a rear high clearance shouldn't really have d-rings for recovery, ideally it's just trimming and reinforcing the corners

It actually won't have either. I'm keeping the rear hitch because I need it.

I have the d-ring hitch point, so I'll just be using that.

Already have one, but more options are always welcome.
