Please recommend a aftermarket front bumper for 3rd gen

I’m intereseted in a street legal metal front bumper upgrade please provide
Weight,price,can it hold a winch and how hard it is to install. exspecialley the sensors for the SRS airbags.

Links and images would be nice.

edit a detailed writeup on removing the OEM bumper w/out blowing up SRS airbags would be helpfull.

this one looks kindof good. anyone have a used one simiarl to this I like the one on the green T4R.

Shrockworks or ARB 34020-20 or Addicted Offroad

Don't forget CBI off road or 4xInnovations, both some of my favs

Quick google search will get you this...

Most if the questions you are asking is easily answered by google, and a lot of times will be answered faster than starting a new thread.

Funny thing is neither CBI or 4x pics are showing up in that thread

 

[Millerad1651]

The 4x tube isn't, but I'm not sure if they even make it anymore. At least the Lila to their sites work, it's a start for the OP.
It does need the new Hybrid by CBI put on the list...as well as the hybrid by Addicted.

I'm getting the ARB Taco bumper... here is my favorite pic that I've found so far.

I like the Shrockworks and a few others that I've seen, but in my opinion none have the great looks of the ARB Taco bumper.

You are showing your (our) age. The young guys think it's too big.

im digging the look and features of the Shrockworks but man that some big loot !

 

[JayRolla]

Im going with the new addictedoffroad plate bumper. IMO nothing beats the look.

Trail gear tube bumper

I used to have the TJM T-15 but they are hard to find now. I currently have an ARB, It's pretty solid and I get a lot of compliments on the look and how it fits with the 4Runner front end. The ARB is compatible with the airbag system.

yes I agree google is fine (thats where I found shrockworks) however the whole point of a forum is disscussion.

I see a couple of 1st gen Tacos here are the bumpers that fit 1st gen Tacos interchangable w/ 3rd gen T4Rs? or are all these bumpers for Toyotas trucks interchangeable?

edit: the T4R I'm concidering will either need to have the OEM bumper straightened out a tad or it maybe easier just to replace.

so whats the purpose of a heavey duty front bumper knocking down small trees? bumping cows or big farm animals around w/ out messing up the grill and headlighs? or just looking mean?
Thanks

Does ARB make this bumper without the brush guards? Im looking into bumpers as well and dont really like how most of the newer style bumpers cut up so much on the ends and exposes so much of the front end. The ARB looks more like a traditional bumper to me.

4xinnovations bumper bolts on using factory mounting points. No modification is required if that is a factor you need to consider. See my avatar for a picture of my 4xinnovations bumper.

I agree with you, however if you want check out 4xinnovations, pretty nice stuff for cheap, me and foxrider have their bumpers, I love mine. But I'm thinking about getting a hybrid bumper from CBI. That thing is slick.

 

[Hepar]

It's too bad ODL isn't making bumpers anymore. That was a nice option. I like the Shrockworks bumper, but the price is a little steep.

4xInnovations bumper:
-street legal
-125 ish lbs
-holds winch
-extremely easy bolt on install
-dont need to touch airbag sensors

Correct, a forum is a place for discussions. Of which there have been countless discussions on bumpers. This is the reason I suggested Google. You can easily reply to one that has already been started, instead of making yet another thread on the same subject.

Here are some you can reply to...
