96-02 4Runner Rear Plate Bumper

[traxman25]

Protecting your rear end is just as important as the rest of the truck and the good people at 4x Innovations know that! They have engineered this rear bumper to provide you the comfort and peace of mind you need while off the beaten path. Starting with proven 3/8” high grade steel mounting plates this bumper has the strongest mounts available. The main bumper is high grade 3/16” steel plate. Two ½” thick recovery shackle mounts are interlocked into the main bumper and fully welded directly to the main mounting plates. We know your departure angle is important to you, and this rear bumper is designed with a great low profile for maximum clearance.

If all that isn’t enough, we saved the best for last. All bumpers come with an integrated DOT rated receiver hitch. Our receiver hitch has been engineered and tested to exceed the SAE testing standards for a class 3 hitch (500lbs tongue load, 5000lb trailer weight).

Bumpers are fabricated in Wisconsin from American Made Steel. Bumpers bolt directly to the frame using factory bumper mounting holes and hardware. Bumpers ship bare steel to save you big money on handling and shipping fees! Current version does not fit with the stock spare tire location on some models. We are working to resolve this but do not have an exact time frame.

Also you can add a swing out spare tire carrier with lots of different options.

Love the bumper, but I would like to fabricate my own rear tire carrier. Do I need to reinforce the bumper at the hinge, or would it be strong enough? Thanks.

 

[traxman25]

The bumper is plenty strong on it's own for a tire carrier. We do sell just the hinge and latch assemblies if you're looking for those.

I forgot to ask. How much for extra if I have a 1" body lift? Thanks again.

 

[nicolasballia]

^^ what he said, and is 2 inch body lift possible too?

 

[traxman25]

I don't have anything worked out for body lift bumpers yet. We will be able to build them but I'm not sure exactly when that will get worked up.

Is there any pictures underneath of how the bumper mounts to the truck. Bumper looks excellent, would be great to go along with my 4x sliders!

 

[traxman25]

I don't currently have any photos of the mounting. It is very simple to install though. The bumper uses the 4 factory holes on the bottom of the frame and has plates that wrap up onto both sides of the frame to act as the wing supports, and hitch supports. There is a bar that slides inside the frame with nuts welded to it to make install as easy as possible. There is a 5th mounting hole at the back of the frame that I do recommend drilling if you are going to be towing with the bumper.

Great Thanks! Looks like I found the bumper for me when time comes. :driving:

I can snag some pictures today of how it mounts on my truck. Lots of beef in the mounting area, mine has taken some decent hits and all is well still.

Sweet! That would be great, good to see it has proven its self for you. Seems like a great option.

Any chance you got around to grabbing a few pic of the bumper?

Try to look past all the rust and salt in the pics, went wheeling last weekend in the aftermath of a snowstorm and it's been bitter cold all week so I haven't been able to wash/paint.

Even with just the 3 bolts in it, it has held up fine. I've slammed it down coming off ledges a couple times with no issues. Adam has put some serious thought in the mounting setup with the extra holes right over the side supports. VERY pleased with the product, especially with the addition of wings on the sides to protect the glass... Which I've used generously here in the Midwest.

i really want one but i have a 1" body lift . also how big of a gap is it between the body and bumper right now? it looks kinda big but i know it needs room to flex. also any type of discount for customers who have your front already? thanks and i love the work like usual

Excellent! Thanks a lot, looks like pretty strong mounting. I think this made my decision, sliders are working great for me, so this bumper shall be next!

The gap on the bumper that is there now is about 3/4". The newest revision is more like 3/8", but I don't have any of those in from laser yet so I don't have photos currently. I don't currently have plans to do a 1 inch body lift version as production but we could probably work something out. Making modifications like that is quite a bit easier now that we have some new equipment in the shop. That kind of modification would require some additional charge though. When you're ready give me a call and we can chat about it.

Sorry there is no package deal for a front/rear unless purchased together. There is however a 5% T4R discount available.

So adam we using my Runner for those pics? :wink2: I think after I get started with my co-op I am going to have to pick up a tire carrier bumper with some of those sweet Jerry can holders that you have

 

[traxman25]

Yeah I was thinking something like that.

 

[MTD]

Glad to know we are on the same page :lol:

 

[traxman25]

Yeah I've been meaning to call you, but I've got to get caught up here first. The new brake is slowing things down, but it is well worth it!
