That looks like a pretty bare metal finish to me.

Really? I see a gray powder coat. You asked for a painted picture, preferably black. Since as far as I know that is the only finished one mounted and in existence I'm guessing that's the best picture you'll get for a few weeks. :confused:

The color is called "storm gray metallic" by duplic color its definitely not a bare metal finish haha =)

I will see if i can dig up some pics of when we had the black primer coat on it before we added the color but it wasnt on the rig until the metallic color was added

Sorry, my mistake. I'm viewing this on my phone so it's a little tough to make out the nuances between gray metal and gray paint. I appreciate the fact that you're not being rude and condescending like some other members. This forum is to share info and help each other out, not to be an a$$ to other members.
 
Can the side ladder be ordered separately? I am looking to get rid of my Gobi Ladder . I already have a Shrockworks rear bumper and wanted to see if this one could be retrofitted to work.

Yep, that's me to a T. I always assume people who complain about lack of detail in pictures are looking at a screen larger than a postage stamp. My bad. I'll just go back to reading and trying to be helpful from my Macbook. :wink2:

Apologies to SSS and Fargo.
 
FWIW - looked like bare metal to me too. The color is close and it's unusual to not color match - especially with black since it's more or less the default color for most bumpers. Love the bumper design.
 
Fargo, do you find yourself collecting a lot of mud, dirt, debris, etc in that gap?

Its a 48" i believe it used to be the red one but we painted it to match when it got rusty

I am also interested in this... This picture seems to suggest that the fit in this area could be improved. Almost looks as though the design is right on but the installation needs improvement. Or possibly Fargo caught this on something and it bent out?

This is the best looking and most functional bumper design I have seen! I will be ordering shortly.

Did this question ever get resolved on the fitment of the rear bumper to side of the 4Runner? That's a huge gap.
 
Just received my bumper today and looking to get started on some of the prep work tonight. I wondered if someone can clarify what they did with the center 2 brackets. Did you guys end up removing them completely or hammering them down below the frame rails? Anyone have pics of this part?

Not worried about the lower driver side tow bracket, easy enough to take off.

Thanks in advance!
