From: "Paul Fox" <[email protected]>Add sender to ContactsTo: "Tyler Stogner" <[email protected]>I wish I could. I do need the truck here to determine what, if any, adjustments the would have to made to the mounting hardware so it can incorporated into the 05-09 design.
If you participate in the 4 Runner forums and have contact with someone that has the same truck as you, I can make very good offer for both of you.

Good morning Tyler,
I have been trying to get the 03 and 04 4 Runners in my shop for a test fit. From the appearance of the 03-04 models, I would assume that the frames and bumper brackets are the same as the 05 to 09 models. But, until I actually install one, or a customer installs one, on either the 03 or 04, I won't be able to give you an answer to your question. I am hoping the fit is the same. It sure would cut down on the amount of part numbers I would have to manage.
If you live in the area of my shop, and would like to stop in for a test fit, this is the offer I make for product test fit and product development.
If the current 05 to 09 model Light Bar, for the 4 Runner, fits your 03 or 04 4 Runner, the product will cost you about $150.00 with no labor charge for the installation.
If the current 05 to 09 model Light Bar for the 4 Runner does not fit, I'll take the dimensions from your truck, design and produce the new support bracketry. The product and installation will cost you nothing.
The truck will need to be photo worthy with no body lift. I will build 2 versions, a long tube and a short tube. Both will be installed and photographed on your truck, then you will have your choice from one of the 2 designs.
