I'm glad they're local. I'm down in Pueblo so I may have to swing up there once I dump all my extra money into the headers/exhaust system first.

Some good looking fab work. I've seen your 3-link build of your 80 series over on Ih8mud... still have it?

The Hefty Bros make some awesome stuff and are a helluva time to wheel with. Good dudes over there.

Nice looking work! Gotta convince Mrs. Muddle that these are a good idea.
We are running Hefty stuff out 2015 TE and soon to be on the GX. I've probably built more 4runners than anyone on this forum, I can say from experience this stuff is as high end as you can get. We don't sell HF, so my accolades are not sales driven, this stuff is just that good. Plus the guys at the shop are a class act.
I saw your website and the pictures there as well as here; you are very talented. My dream is to own a TRD PRO and I have a few questions for you if you don't mind.
The aluminum bumper is 54#, but esentially we are not adding 54# to the vehicle since we are removing part of the stock bumper correct? Do you or anyone else know the weight of the part that we are removing so we can calculate how much weight is actually being added?
Also if one wants to buy your full package for the aluminum skid plates, do they work in conjunction with the stock TRD aluminum skid plate? (I would hate to have to remove it).
I apologize for any grammar mistakes or misspelling; English is my second language.

An estimate is probably close to 40lbs additional to the front end after installation. The bumper and crash bar don't weigh much. Since the bumper gets cut there's actually part of it that remains on the truck anyways.
A full set of skid plates will replace the TRD skid plate. If ordering a bumper as well, we suggest the front radiator skid. As seen in the picture on the previous page, you'll notice about a 5" gap between a TRD skid plate and our bumper. If you're upgrading to all our skid plates we advise replacing the TRD skid plate as well as ours provides much more protection and will tie in with our front bumper if purchased. Thanks for checking us out!

The problem is there is no real good way to mount one. We don't have anything in the works for it at this time.
