'08 4Runner Sport Roof Rack & Side Steps - Brush or Bull Guard that match?

[DonnyB]

A "Quick" Question:

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of an existing Bull Guard (or Brush Guard) and Rear Bumper Guard that matches the Grey'ish Roof Rack and Side Steps on the 4Runner Sport.

P.S. Sorry that I haven't been around for a while. I've been busy on my new house that I'm remodeling (total makeover!) which has been taking up all of my time outside of work.
I'll post some updates and pictures on my 4Runner sometime soon!

I have searched this into the ground and found nothing, only thing i can think of is buying one and maybe getting the paint code from toyota to paint/ powdercoat it,

maybe someone else has some more info

I didn't think I'd be the only one to think of it on here! haha.
That's actually a pretty good idea. I have a stainless guard on it now, but I've been thinking it would look a lot better if it matched all around.
Maybe I'll experiment with that idea. Thanks.

yeah my gf has an Xterra and her grill guard matches the side steps and roof rack and IMO it looks great , i always wanted that look for mine.

what brand grill guard do you have on your 08 right now, any pics?

I'm honestly not quite sure what the brand is! I bought it off eBay really cheap. I'm pretty sure there's no markings on it either. It's very similar to my father's Tundra's guard, which is made my a company called Frontline. It's nice though, although some on here may consider it blingy 'cause it's stainless and chrome-like. I don't have any pics on here yet. I have to buy a new camera, my Canon died after a drop to the pavement I want to get the new Olympus that's shockproof.
I've seen a couple Xterra's around here with matching guards. I wonder if they're factory or aftermarket...

*edit:
This is the thread to my 4Runner pics, which badly needs updated! I'll get there...

My wife had her brush guard powder coated to match. Here is a pic, but it is not a great one. I think it matches pretty good. In case you our wondering, the brush guard is made by Westin (if anyone is interested we have another one new in the box for sale, I think it will fit an 03-06).

Sum_Devl, I LOVE IT! Would it fit an '08? It doesn't look like it tilts forward for the hood to open... so I assume the hood clears the guard?
p.s. what's the color/code?

No unfortunately it won't fit the 07 to 08 that's why we ended up buying a new one, Sorry!

I will have to find the info. on the powder coat later and get back with you (the powder coat is a Tiger Drylac product.)

Sorry, I almost forgot yes the hood clears when it opens.

I also appreciate the comment! This is my wife's baby, she has a lot of plans for it (now all we need to do is get the money for everything.)

looks just as good as i thought it would!

what brand is the one you have for sale, and it did not fit because the headlights right? so it wont fit 06-08 models

It is a Westin Modular Brush Guard, it was actual the support brackets that mount to the radiator would not match up as far as the bolt patterns were concerned, (they changed the radiator supports a little on the 06's and up).

Here are a few pic's of the sample they ave us for the powder coating, I think you can actually see the texture in the first pic.

Sorry for the big pic's, but I had to use the wife's camera and it is a little over kill!! If you need to reduce the size go for it (I was in a hurry.) Thanks!
