Pretty nice bumper . I have a CB.
Sorry guys, but I am going to have to bail. Just checked the weather and the wind is going to much higher than I feel comfortable driving the 4Runner on the interstate in. I Doubt you guys are checking the forum out there so I'll text those of you I have numbers for. Have out there without me.

2 thumbs up
wheeling with BR and his copilot was a pleasure. Gamers, both of them.
Tues:Hells Revenge
Wed: Fins n Things, including Kenny's Climb
Thurs: White Rim, the whole thing in 10 hours, start to finish, city market to city market.
"is this the half-way point?" "no, its about 5 miles that way...."
"hey look! a white rimmed canyon!"

Oh yes, there are pictures and video. But after spending literally the whole week behind the steering wheel, even though it was a super awesome week, I am not doing anything today. Anything.

"Holy Crap"- Seems to be the general consensus when I tell people we did the White Rim the way we did. Haha. What a great day.

hillbilly bumpers
heck yeah. It is the S**T.
lighter than the steel ones. Cheaper by a factor of 100. Easily replaced. increases approach and departure angles significantly. I was doing stuff on 31" tires they were doing on 33" ties with 3" lifts. They are sacrificial when scraping the ground, offering little resistance and thus easing the transition.
they're staying on all summer for wheeling.
will try to devise some kind of simple screen to protect the radiator, maybe using classic galvanized metal mesh.
only issue is blinkers. they blink really fast as when a bulb blows. they are LED's for trailers and i assume they don't offer as much electrical resistance as regular bulbs so they truck thinks a bulb has blown.
the rear bumper is solid. I'll add a pic later. bolted to existing brackets. tied into top flat aluminum pieces with 4 L-brackets, which are also bolted to the existing brackets. rock solid. jump up and down on it, 'aint goin' nowhere.
wait until you see them in person.
Plus, i figured out a simple solid way to hang rear mud flaps. removed the rear lower trim panels for clearance and to keep them from getting damaged.

Canyonlands, White Rim
45, 46, mineral bottom
140 miles total. May not sound like much to cover in one day try it and you'll see.
24 on pavement
28 on dirt road
18 on easy green
70 on medium blue, upon which we were really pushing. Map grid size 5 miles. last part had some talcum fine dust about 1 foot deep. There were 2 climbs and descents on narrow semi technical stuff, the final descent a long one.
"LOOK! Cliffs and dirt!"
