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

[cutty01]

Lookin' good. Since the bumper doesn't stick out as much as other mockups I've seen, does that mean the front bumper needs to be cut to accommodate?

Definitely looks great, C4- wider leans more towards the aggressive look I think we all strive for. Personally, I’m a huge fan of the bull bar and C4’s ability to integrate a slim profile bumper with a bull bar on the 2014’s+ was what strongly grabbed my interest. Not sure if it would be a deal breaker for me personally, but my vote is for the bull bar- even if just a lowered bar as pictured on the latest Tacoma models pictured here on the left:

I’d be very disappointed if we get no bull bar

I may be in the minority, but I prefer the narrower design on the trail

I agree with oriojasjr in the post above. I love the wider version and how clean it looks with the factory bumper.

I would purchase as is, BUT if there was a way to incorporate at slim profile bull bar, THAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER

Excited to get this installed on my vehicle. Thanks again C4fab for making this happen.

Ok everyone, here is the latest updates on the 10-13 Lo-Pro.
We have decided to make the Lo-Pro a bit wider and extend the cut area past the main center opening in the Trail bumper trim. The Lo-Pro was just a bit too small and we weren't real happy with the look. We think the wider version looks better.
Also the wider version will accommodate up to a 28" single row light bar so we will have options on the website for no light cutout, 20" cutout, 25" cutout and 28" cutout.

Right now we do not have the bumper designed to stick out far enough for adding a bull bar on top. The 10-13 bumper cover already has such a "layered" look to it that we aren't so sure about making the Lo-pro stick out and create another layer to the bumper and make it seem like to protrudes out too far. Maybe you guys can offer some feedback on that.

As of right now this version of the bumper will fit all 10-13 models. That was one of our biggest goals to accomplish. We did not want to have to offer two different versions of the bumper for Trail and non-Trail 4runners.

Here are some renderings. The 5 photos in this post are how it will look on the Limited/SR5 trim and the next post shows the same bumper on the Trail trim.
Let us know what you guys think!

Any chance of it being produced in a lighter weight aluminum?

This thing is :flame: :flame: :flame:

I love the wider design. Bull bar would be cool and I'd be willing to compromise some the lo profile design for one, but honestly I love this thing for my Trail even more than the first one. Can't wait to cut the shit out of my bumper now!

Thanks @C4_Fabrication for making this happen!!!

I'm in for the wider design. Looks awesome. I agree if there is a way to integrate an angled low pro bull bar that would be a plus.

 

[Jacabbysal]

I love it, a bull bar would be neat but I don't need it.

What is this on?

Lo Pro C4 bumper

Also like the wider version, but would definitely like to have the bull bar if at all possible. Bull bar with the side gussets is the look I really love. Thanks C4

Yes the bumper will need to be cut for any of these versions we end up going with.

You are welcome!

We wont be building an aluminum version.

You are welcome! Were getting close to a finished product!

Thanks for the feedback guys. We're hearing all of you that want the bullbar. We kind of assumed most would sacrifice a bit of approach angle and bulkiness to have a bullbar, but we just wanted to see what the majority of responses would show.

Bull bar 100%

I was indifferent about the bull bar until I saw the version you make for the Tacoma. Very sleek looking. I can live w/ or w/o the gussets.

I've said this before when you first released your fuel tank skid. You have a knack for combining form with function and make some of the best looking products out there.

Bull Bar please

Definitely want the bull bar...

 

[Modern Paladin]

I’m absolutely in and all for a lo pro bullbar if possible

 

[01100101]

Bumper is looking real good and I'm also in for a bull bar.

 

[Akkording]

I favor a Bull Bar but with NO Gusset, that would look more aesthetically pleasing.

 

[Rhino11]

I haven't looked behind my bumper cover much, but is there something that prevents cutting out the full center plastic? I know that means more metal would have to be used, but it seems to me that the most natural look would be cutting out the center section and taking the bumper all the way to the bottom of the grill. I haven't seen anyone try and design in this way, so my guess is that there would be some issues.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Ok so we updated the drawing and changed the bumper so that a bull bar will fit on top. We had to extend the front face of the bumper out over 2" to allow a bulbar to fit on top.
Our opinion is that it looks bad and greatly decreases approach angle and overall visual appearance. It makes the bumper look very blocky and out of place, sort of gives it that Bulldog underbite look.

Here are the renderings of what it looks like on both the Trail and SR5/Limited versions.

To be up front and honest, I don't think we will offer the bumper with a bullbar option just because of how far it has to protrude out the front of the original plastic bumper.
