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

[gibburnz]

If I may ask Gibburnz, what do you have there for the bar/brand/source? It’s been challenging to find a 25” for this and wife has me a little budgeted if she lets me even put one in. It is her DD for the most part. Thanks

Gotta be honest though - it's a cheap lightbar and not quite 25" from end to end. It's more like 24.5". I didn't spend much time looking at it, but anyone a bit perplexed on how their lightbar will mount close to the opening? I'm probably going to have to fabricate the brackets a bit. Not worried, but maybe I'm over complicating it?

I believe anything that matches the short bracket legs will work, check out the other additional pictures, I've seen some really close ones that matches these on ebay. To be honest I think most of these models are Chinese (Higher quality) made and I'm not knocking them for relabeling and selling it as their brand.

Yeah agreed. I need to off-set the mounting bracket a bit and we'll be good.

How hard was it to remove the long and thin bumper chrome trim piece that's on SR5s and LEs?

I made a video for you.

Sweet. Thanks Steve! When you install the LoPro, are you going to put the trim back, leave it off, or cut it?

Finished installing it. Put a scratch resistant powder coat at a local shop. Not all wired yet and need to do some minor tweeks for the fit.

Also need to reach out to C4, they sent it with 2 missing nuts and 2 missing washers. They also sent some other part that looks but don't know what it's for.

Jack made it real easy to install myself.

So I’ve been loving the high clearance corners C4 has been installing on the 14+ 4Runners, has anyone thought about attempting something similar on our years? I’m no fabricator and don’t know how to even approach it but I know it’d look awesome!

I ended up cutting it of course.
Here's a video of the install.

I did end up using the trim guard from amazon. Was too lazy to put it on film
All i know is that i'm the first non trail edition to put this bad boy on.

A guy on the 5th gen 4runner familia group on facebook did to it on his 10-13 4runner. I don't have his permission to post up his ride tho. All i can say is it doesnt look too bad honestly. Just not as aggressive as i would like it to be

[Akkording]

Any SR5 or Limited guys installed theirs yet? I would like to see how the fitment is since I've only seen Trails w/ valance. My powder coat won't be done until next week.

Thanks man. I'm absolutely building out of order and I know it, but this front end really pulled a lot together this past weekend. Next up is a Dobinsons lift kit and when I eventually relocate out west, I'll try and get [MENTION=131444]C4 Fabrication[/MENTION] to install a rear bumper for me on my cross-country trek!

I'll say this, the bumper is an absolute beast. Durable, designed well, and it was pretty dummy proof. I had to fab up some brackets for the light bar and that was probably the most difficult part of this whole install. Cutting with the video playing on the iPad was perfect. Everything just fell into place. Thanks again, Caleb! You've made a lot of 10-13 owners very happy!

Picked mine up from powder coat. Just waiting on my 25” light bar to come in.

Please excuse the mess.

Get any rubbing with that? I installed mine a while ago but rubbed too much and needed to do the body chop but havent gotten around to it yet. I ended up taking mine off.

I ended up cutting it of course.
Here's a video of the install.

Nice video, car jack would have made lifting the bumber in to place a ton easier! Also makes it easy to do adjustments. I put a piece of wood inbetween.

See [MENTION=320410]steveyaj[/MENTION] video post above.

PS - How much is it to powder coat?
