Thought I'd throw up some pics of my front bumper I built. I've had the bumper done for a few months now and like how it worked out for me. I wanted something light that tucked up well to give me the best approach angle i could get. All tubing is inch and a half HREW .120 wall thickness. mounts are 3/16 plate and 2x4 tubing.
Any how heres some pics.
bending tube
fast forward a little bit, I always forget to take pics.
I had HID's in my previous fog lights and wanted to keep the bulbs somehow, turns out that the next change toyota made to the 4ruuners was to put a circular fog light in the bumper, luckily these fog lights used the same bulb as the style that came on my bumper so i sourced a pair of the new style Toyota fog light and they were as easy as plugging them into the where the old ones came out!!
love it when a plan comes Together!!
For the center I used a piece of 1/8" flat aluminum, that would be held into place using button head allen bolts just for looks. I also used a little bondo on the front sides where the sheet metal is just to fill in the seems so i didnt get rust coming through after i rattle can it
For turn signals I used 6" led light strips in amber, gives it a clean look i think
