Bumper List (Updated)

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?

From what I've read I don't think it's possible. I think the 4xinnovations & CBI front bumpers are the only ones that directly bolt on. CBI's website states for 97-98 4runners, cutting and welding the frame is required.

You won't be able to mount the bumper without cutting 3" off the frame. The bumper would be sitting to far forward and the mounting holes on the sides will not line up.
You will also have to cut off the cross brace that the stock skid bolts to. The Allpro Tacoma ENGINE skid will work or you could make your own.

I saved all the parts I cut off of mine, so if I really wanted to back to stock I could weld the pieces back on.

Best looking front bumper IMHO.

But I'm bias. Lol

Savage also requires no cutting or welding.

The RLCWeldFab bumper is all bolt on and does not require cutting frame caps
 
Graham Daddy 4x4 no longer builds bumpers after having to refund $6,000+ of orders due to build times being 6+ months and lack of communication. His Facebook page has been deleted, surprised those links to his site still works.
 
Ok oddball question. There is a company called move bumpers that will flat pack you a bumper and you weld it up. Starting at $400 they aren't a bad deal if you can weld.

But they only offer the Tacoma model that far back. What's the frame difference from Tacoma to 4runner that far back anyone know? I'm pretty sure I can cut and weld their bumper mounts to make it work, but just wanted to know if theirs would work without much work.

I hope link works

FWIW, I make weld-together bumpers specifically for the 3rd gen 4runners. The pricing is about the same after exchange rate:

Just saw this on the Pelfreybilt Instagram page.

I've always loved their bumpers and wished they made ones for our 3rd gens, so it makes me excited to see we'll probably get bumpers from them soon!

Anyone got a picture of the updated shrockworks bumper with the new square holes for the fog lights??

I saw that they only make them with those holes now, I want to see what it looks like, I'm not a big fan of those square lights
 
Thanks so much for putting all this together. I'm very close to getting my 4runner (I'll post all about it when it happens) but I'm pre shopping and how many of these front bumpers are direct bolt ons? I'd hate to cut on my new 4runner.

Good question HH. Having just looked into CBI, that qualifies. i can't say that for all of their offerings though...

For those interested, I got these weight figures from CBI, before any optional add-ons:

T4R3 Front Hybrid Bumper Short CGP- 95 lbs

T4R3 Rear Hybrid Bumper with Swing Away- 165 lbs

T4R3 Plate Rear Bumper and Swing Away- 190 lbs

Another question... What front bumpers have provisions or cut-outs for lights, and those that don't?

EDIT / ADD:

More weight figures....

Addicted Offroad:

Tube front is 79 lbs
Plate front is 89 lbs

SRQ Fabrications / TNF:

DIY front is about 75 lbs (before welding)

Shrockworks:

Front is 92 lbs (with center hoop and headlight guard)

Savage

Front, about 85 lbs
