Bull Bar for 3rd Gen??

[kregg]

ok i've looked every where but i cant seem to find a bull bar for my 96 T4R.......it would be great if yall knew where i could find one and if no company produces one maybe we can all get something together (email or somthing) to find out if we can get someone to produce one...see attached img for example

I carry the full westin line, and this isn't made for 96-02 4Runners.

Funny you mention that...just finished installing my WESTIN Bull Bar yesterday...looks pretty sweet!! Watch for a write up on it tomorrow in the accessories section. Escentially I took a Tacoma Bull Bar, went to HomeDepot and got some supplies, and bolted it up. Looks great, Fits Great and solid!!

I wish everyone was as handy as you. I still don't understand why they don't make a specific one for the 4Runner yet.

If the Tacoma one works, I do stock it.

Im putting an email together to the head of the technical/fitment group at Westin. I talked to him at SEMA 2005 and he said to make a mount that worked, measure it, take some pictures of it, and he'll make a mount for it. Kinda like I am their test and fit person. Im their Rocky Moutain Region Slaes Rep...so if he says he'll do it, he's not really screwing around. Anyways, tomorrow, I'm going to start a poll to see how many people are actually interested, and see if it is even worth our time. Anyways, as stated, look for my write-up....tomorrow.

Very cool, I'm friends with one of the main higher-ups at Westin. Let me know what your guys tells you, and if he says no, I'll see what I can do.

Who do you know? I'll be emailing Emilio...

Yes, that's my boy! Tell him Jason Burtman said hey.
I sponsored their Ridgeline project truck at Sema with some stuff and a real carbon fiber dash kit.

Food for thought.....

Install Pic.....

Its a 96-02 Tacoma Bull Bar, with a 2" x 3" steel pipe from HomeDepot as the spacer ($1.29 each) and 2 4.5" x 1/2" Bolts.

Look for a writeup in the Accessory section.

Looks GREAT!!! Please link to your write-up in here when you are done. I do stock that Taco bar, but do you think most would be able to handle this install?

Also, do you think it would work for 96-98?

 

[bigacuralvr]

Oh yeah, it took about 15-20 minutes to get it all up and in. Once you go to the Depot and get all the parts, its pretty easy and self-explanatory....
