Figured I would introduce myself and my rig.
I am Scotty. I own a local Toyota based fab shop up in Greeley called Addicted Offroad. Been in business for over three years now. We specialize in bumper fabrication, solid axle swaps, and general maintenance on Toyota vehicles and others as well. Website is
Addicted Offroad
We just released our 3rd gen 4runner bumpers. I can include installation as well. The front requires a new weld-in crossmember and the rear requires welding them onto the rig. Both Nick and Shon from this board have had one of each installed on their 3rd gens.
Now onto the rig. Its got a couple small mods :hee hee hee: , but seems to work pretty well. Its my daily driver too.
