looks good! you gunna paint it black? and are you going to come to our Colorado 4runner get together? Check out the thread in the general disscussion tab.

Back on topic... Cant wait to see the final product!

 

[DewRunner]

yeah it will get painted a hammerd black color its pretty sweet. idk if ill make it to coloroado that might be a little far for me.

 

[AleksV]

oh buddy, that looks sick
custom? or bought?

 

[Jordan Petry]

I like it! I've been looking at making a custom bumper myself because I despise that fat lip bumper and want something I can use and abuse without it looking like crap...

Great job!

 

[nquaint]

wow looks great, I been wanting to get one like that for a while, same question as above, is it custom? Looks like it wouldn't be too expensive to make, for parts at least.

 

[Pikeman]

It does look real good. I think making something yourself is the best and gives you more pride. I am two thirds done with my rear bumper jsut need to finish the swing away for it, but since it is plate style not sure doing a tube upfront would look right. like yours though and if others are looking for a tube bumper the All-Pro one for the Taco will work with just a lil work. I think i will hold out for a Shrockworks even though everyone says he is always late on delivery.

 

[DewRunner]

its a custom. but bought? haha i told him what to do and they did it. a friend made it, he is thinking about puting it into production for others. but nothing is final. the shockworks just takes to long for my taste. talked to the guy who makes them in moab actually this weekend and he even said it was a long wait cause things are really slow. i will get more eye candy later but here is one now.

oh and notice.... the sliders wont ever see a pair like these anywhere. and yes for those wondering... the truck did super in moab, used the sliders and the skid plate and of course the locker

 

[Pikeman]

looks really clean painted and on the truck. Was there any doubt that it would do well at MOAB? Everytime I take mine out I am more and more impressed with it's capabilities.

 

[sn0wrunner]

Looks really nice all painted!

 

[KellyJ]

Looking fresh very nice bumper. Did you move the blinkers to the corners?

 

[DewRunner]

yeah i liked how it turned too. yes i know its always suprising but i did put the truck to its limits a few times. and this one rock took me like 5 to 10 mins to get up, but i made it. finally, lots of burnt rubber lots of sand on the bumper and some bouncing haha.

the blinkers are in the side markers too. kinda crapily placed but its all good. just drilled a hole big enough to put the bulb into haha. its kinda sloppy but it works.

 

[LINY4Runner]

I WANT ONE!! tell your friend....seriously
eh shipping would be balls...could you get the blueprints or plans or whatever from your friend and post them so I can have one made?


does it wobble like the grille guards do or is it solid?

 

[DewRunner]

if hes gonna put it into production im sure he wouldnt put the blue prints just out there. and no its not a cheesey grill guard. this thing is stout, and functional and will eventually hold a winch. but right now im diggin the idea that mines the only one hahaha but i will tell him that people are interested. this was a side project cause the company builds axles, and they just released a crazy new axle thats gonna be like the biggest craze for buggies and stuff and i know they are gonna be busy building those cause everyone wants one.
