Bumper List (Updated)

[puttster]

A few years ago, steezemcqueen made a great thread which basically copied YodasYota's thread for 3rd gen 4Runner bumper options. Now that the aftermarket has grown, I decided that I might as well make an updated thread with both the older and the newer options that are out there to try to help people make a decision on bumpers.

Front Bumpers:
(Note that Tacoma bumpers require slight frame modification to fit on a 4Runner)

I take credit for NONE of these pictures, if I don't mention an owner, the picture is from the bumper's website.

This is merely an informational thread, I'm not trying to advertise anything

Some of these bumpers have different options that can be added/removed

Go check out steezemcqueen's profile (since I basically stole this thread from him)

And let me know if I need to change/update/add anything on this thread

Tough choices! :cowboy:

Tough choices! :cowboy:

I know, there's so many more options than I realized.. I mean I had to split the thread up into 3 chunks.

Nice job! Thanks for including my "Build your own bumper" designs.

I also have several options for single or dual arm tire carrier swing-arms for the rear bumpers.

Sadly, not all 4Rs are going to hit the trail much. Mine's going to end up being my daughter's first car, won't need a heavy duty bumper. The chrome bumper on it now is rusting and cracking (I think it's a cheap eBay replacement). Is there a good source for a near OEM replacement? I've never found one at a junk yard that wasn't front-ended.

No problem man, I figured it's as much as a real bumper as any of the other ones on here.

I don't think so. I came across pics of their bumpers a while back and they appear to have fallen off the face of the earth a few years ago. Their website is nothing but a home page and it's hard to find anything about them after 2009 or so.

So I'm interested in going with the all pro front bumper or the schrockworks front bumper but I really don't want to chop the frame in case I decide to go back to stock

Does anyone know if you can mount them without having to chop the frame?

This is another possibility for 3rd gen 4Runners. It was built by Layne at Denver Off-Road. What's unique about it is it's made of thick aluminum, so it's extremely strong and intended for abuse off-road with mounting a winch in it. Most of it is 3/8" thick 6061, so it doesn't bend. The bumper itself weighs only 54 pounds, plus various steel brackets to the frame weigh another 22 pounds. He built mine in 2001 and he does have the pattern to reproduce it "off the shelf" without your truck being in his shop. The name of his business is still Denver Off-Road although he now builds his bumpers in Fruita, Colorado. He mostly builds aluminum bumpers for full size trucks. He works with a powder coater near him. I'm really impressed with mine being powder coated now although I had mine natural aluminum for years too.

He doesn't have much of a web presence, but you can get his phone number off of his web site: Denver Off Road

Edit - since this is a serious off-roading bumper, the manufacturer was not confident to utilize the frame end caps that are practically tack welded to the end of the frame (and I agree), so plan to cut off the frame caps. His frame mount wraps around 3 sides of the frame there and is bolted multiple directions in the area where the vehicle tie-down/stock tow point is located. His mount is fantastically strong to reliably hang your vehicle off of a 10000 pound winch.
