Finally a Bullbar for 4th gens!
- Thread starter Expat
- Start date
Ok, well this might sound like an odd question, but how well would this bumper hold up to pushing stuff around.
Say I wanted push a car out of the way or mow through a wooden fence, would I have any issues of this bumper rotating back and taking out the radiator?
I have a brush guard now and the upper supports are on the radiator support brackets, which seems likely to collaspe on any reasonable hit.
I don't want to sound like a nut, but my 4runner is our bug out vehicle, so if we need to evacuate, we can leave the area and I'd like something substantial on the front end.
(I am reposting this since no one would probably see it after Gatorgreg started the fifth page with his post. - no offense meant Gatorgreg!)

Well.... brush guards just are for looks. They are affectionately and accurately know as "Damage Multipliers"
The bumper is designed to handle 9500 lbs pulling pulling force from the winch w/o flinching. Pushing forces from running into things will be handled the same.
A wooden fence, even a 4x4 in concrete, wouldn't bother it other than scratching the paint.
Nothing is indestructible, but it will take a serious amount of abuse w/o damage.
