Thanks guys! I couldn't be happier with the Style,looks and functionality of the new bumper. My approach angles are ridiculous i feel like i could Almost climd a wall. It's even better in person like i said before the pics just don't do justice but then again i feel like that applies with almost everything!
[MENTION=90013]HHIRunner[/MENTION] Speaking of,, SOS did a sick job with your front bumper! Originally i was going to go with Demello but yours is very similar to the lines of the DO,I really like it! Any update on the rear bumper with them? Your waiting till you come back home right? I'm really excited for this! I looked them up while i was down there their not far from my sisters in LEX SC.

[MENTION=87687]LTDSC[/MENTION] Yes somebody else said the same thing to me but referenced a Shark haha I think once i put the light bar on and get the winch in there it will help close the gap a little.

I'll be with Eddy (SOS) at Windrock the day after I get home so we are going to try to figure it out then. Probably either go up and do it while I'm home or drop my rig off with him when I fly back out in January.

Awesome! Glad to here the wheels are in motion, this is my last resort for a rear bumper haha Which judging by his work i think it's going to be good. If so i will be placing a order after yours is done! It would work out good because the Fam is close to there so it would be easy for me to bring the truck and drop it for a couple days..

You guys must of had a bumper party. That's pretty cool.
The bumper looks great man! Really changes the look of the truck and the approach angle is terrific. Now you can put the winch in too. Glad it worked out with the small body lift. Make sure you have enough room for flexing off road. You want around a 1/2" gap on the sides. I know your stoked for sure. :bluejump:

Got my Addicted Off Road bumper installed last night! We actually did 3, mine,J053619 and NJshadow93. Great night of modding and installing till about 4am. I'll let them post up their pics(i only have crappy cell pics right now anyways)

I couldn't be happier with the new bumper it's Better than I expected it really compliments and changes the whole aesthetics of the truck! This bumper is solid! It really fits nice and snug, it couldn't get any closer to the body and frame. The approach angles are ridiculous. Thanks again Scotty [MENTION=17736]AddictedOffroad[/MENTION] for a Badass bumper!

Here's a few quick cell pics from last night. There will definitely be some better ones coming soon it's just pouring out right now.

Haha yep we did arty: thats the dance i was doing to when i finally saw it mounted up,3 bumpers in 8 hours not too bad. Plus there was time in there for food,beer and a quick trip to home depot.

Thanks man.Yep winch is going on next weekend along with the 20" light bar:thumb: Yeah i'm pumped i can't wait to get back out on the trail! The 1/2" BL actually worked perfect because the other 2 bumper on their 4runners are really snug there's barely any gap. You can see in the pics mine has a little gap,maybe almost a 1/2" or a little less idk you think that's enough? I was actually thinking about taking off the 1/2" BL and doing a full 1" BL but then i'm worried about there being too much of a gap? It never ends haha:loco:

 

[Darklight]

Lol, it never ends. I was thinking the 1/2" body lift would work out for you with the bumper. Leaving you enough gap.

Half an inch is enough gap or slightly less. If there's any adjustability in the bumper to go up then you could add a slightly larger body lift. I have thought about that on mine too but not sure if I ever will.

Here's a couple pics of everything all mounted up. Warn M8000 winch with Spydura synthetic line, 20" spot single row light bar. In these pics nothing's wired up yet which is why the winch line is so loose. Everything things actually getting wired as we speak.

Because everything fits so tight and snug with these bumpers on the 4th gens you can only use a winch with a removable solenoid box or else it interferes with the grill. So were going to mount it right behind the winch in front of the radiator. We modified the bracket a little and welded some brackets for it and it's going to sit nice and snug right behind the winch. Here's a couple pics of the brackets so far, more pics to come...

Solenoid box mounted up

 

[Nyc-Runner]

All finished now. In the end I had to notch my grill out a little bit or else when it closed it put too much pressure and made the Satoshi look kinda of funny and we def can't have that. Everything's mounted, wired and working well so happy about that now just wait to go hit the trail and use it! I also installed the Factor 55 flat link, I like the way it keeps everything nice and tight.

Haha i know i always forget to do that and then months later i realize it's out dated! Thanks though man:biggrin2:I'm really loving where it's at right now! Going to be focusing on more internal for the rest of the winter Cargo drawers and definitely a dual battery set up! I was tightening up the winch line earlier when i put the Factor 55 Flatlink on there for like 5 minutes with the truck off and it killed my battery right away:doh:
