5th Gen (10 - 13) Lo-Pro Winch Bumper

[gibburnz]

Alright folks, let's try this again...

Though some constant badgering and whining to C4 Fabrication, they've agreed to start discussions and a design on a 10-13 (pre-face-lift) Lo-Pro Winch Bumper so long as we can get 50+ people to agree to put down a deposit when the design phase starts. Below are a couple of details:

• 
  We need to get 50+ people to make an actual deposit when the time comes for them to start designing. Based on the images below, it will likely be in line with the style and options they offer today (i.e., light bar, bull bar, etc.).

• The deposit amount is unknown at this time because we're still in the very early stages, but the pricing will fall in line with their current lo-pro bumpers.

• Timing... that too is unknown because we need to get at least 50 people to express interest and ultimately make a deposit.

• Once we get the final list together, C4 will take over from there, deposits will be handled through them, communications, prototypes, etc.

• IMPORTANT... C4 will need a few different 10 - 13 4R's to perform a scan on. If you're in the area, let me know. They're located near Sturgis, South Dakota.

If you're interested in getting on the "interested" list and fully intend on making a deposit in order to start the design phase, send me a PM with your full name and e-mail address, or reply here with your details.

Please share this group buy with any 10 - 13 front-end owners who might be interested. The sooner we get to 50, the sooner we can find better homes for our winches and light bars!

More info to come, but let's get this rolling!

[TheMagicMan5280]

Interested in the list.

 

[cutty01]

Interested as long as it works with the LE.

 

[rmbertoldi]

Interested 2018

Interested in the list, thanks C4 for revisiting this option..we 2010-2013 owners do like to b*tch about our lack of bumper options :cheer2:

 

[xcalbr2]

interest

Definitely Interested! Thanks to all who got this back on the table

 

[Akkording]

Interested, Yes Indeed

 

[blksubykid]

Heres to hoping we get 50 people interested...

I'm in

and not to be picky...but what happens if we don't like the design they come up with?

This is not to say that C4's design will look exactly like this, but this is something they mocked up some time ago and it's very similar to the 14+ styles...

 

[2012sr5]

Subscribed! Very interested. I'm nowhere near SD, otherwise I'd take my truck to them to scan.

 

[FrenchToasty]

Hopefully you can get enough people interested and contribute ideas, so everyone likes the finished design. I reached out to C4 a while back and got enough info and steel to make my own interpritation.

 

[phoenixtx]

Interested as long as it works with the LE.

On the early 5th gens the Limited and SR5 look identical.... so it shouldn't be an issue.

 

[blksubykid]

On the early 5th gens the Limited and SR5 look identical.... so it shouldn't be an issue.

But are there differences behind the front clip for SR5/Limited vs Trails?

I *MIGHT* have read somewhere that there is which made it difficult and not cost effective for companies to develop

 

[Rhino11]

Interested

 

[pingis]

Now that I'm keeping my 4runner, definitely interested in this.

I haven't taken all three trim levels apart, but the only external difference between the three is the plastic trim added to the Trail. I really find it hard to believe the substructure would be different on all three as that would raise manufacturing costs for Toyota, but I suppose it's possible.

 

[phoenixtx]

[MENTION=147513]gibburnz[/MENTION], I'm in for sure. I'll send you my contact info for the list.

 

[RuskiE39]

I'd be interested... is there a price on this yet?

I completely agree with you. It's just something that popped into my head and I felt like I read that somewhere. Again, I could be completely wrong...

*kanye shrug*

 

[oriojasjr]

Ryan, thanks for spearheading this, and C4, thanks for giving this further consideration. I'm definitely on the list, and hoping that 50 deposits also qualifies for a group buy discount off original suggested retail (whatever that will be)!

PM'd.

 

[gibburnz]

[MENTION=265011]RuskiE39[/MENTION] no official price yet, but C4 has stated that it will fall in line with pricing on their current lo-pro bumpers most likely with all the same options (light bar's, cut-out's, gussets, bull bar, etc.).
