Bumper Opinions - Bumper needed for general public

[rideexileex]

So I need consensus on a bumper choice. The twist to this poll though is that I want thoughts on what bumper would be best to the general public for those looking to buy a 4runner. Backstory is, I'm looking to pick up a wrecked runner, and a factory bumper won't be as easy to mount up, so I'm looking to aftermarket options.

My first thought is to go ARB, for the airbag compatibility, crumple zone, already powdercoated, etc.

Any other thoughts? My next thoughts are the CBI or Addicted Hybrid bumpers. I need recommendations for what most people would find appealing. This includes highway drivers - I'm not looking only into "offroad ability".

And... obviously, the lower the price, the better. This is for re-sale value.

i would go with 4xinnovations, they look the nicest in my opinion becuase they are slim and have rounded corners, also you can choose to not have a hoop and hexagon winch acesss points which make the look super clean. also the arbs dont look good on 4runners, they are was to bulky for our trucks and it would only appeal to a select number of buyers becuase of how bulky they look. also the 4xinnovations is around the same price as the arb but it the new better look that fits the truck better

addicted bumpers are nice however i feel you need a winch with it to fill the gap that they leave, it would look stupid without the winch since thats the whole point of that bumper. the op says he wants cost low which i highly doubt he will want to buy a winch to put in there when hes trying to make money off it

If you are just planning to resell it, I'd go with 4x. Easily painted, don't need to mount a winch to fill in holes, and you can have them leave the access holes filled so it doesn't have unnecessary holes. Pretty sure all aftermarket bumpers are still airbag compliant, as the sensors are behind the crush zones...ARB isn't the only "airbag compliant" bumper, they just have enough money to test vehicles with their bumper fitted.

I would also agree on the 4x. Super simple and clean. You could paint it to match too and it would blend in that much more. ARB would probably be my #2 vote.

ARB they have a classic look that is period for the vehicle, you can probably find one used. And it is the ONLY air bag compliant bumper on the market for our trucks. Its the only bumper with built in crumple zones to absorb impacts not serious enough for air bag deployment...

You know if you weren't spending all your time flipping 4runners, I bet you could have moved out to Colorado by now... Just saying. hoto:

My vote is 4x innovations as well.
