Dude. I wish I had that. I just pulled my brothers GTI out of a ditch in the snow and he ended up hitting me on the way out. Dented my chrome bumper and wasted his plastic one. Oh well. Live and learn.
Yours look really good. You just don't see a lot of 4runners with a bumper like that on the road. Different is good. :artist:

Looks stellar!
You thought about rerouting your exhaust pipe in the near future? IMO, that'd help clean things up underneath.

That would definitely look nice. Where would I rerout it to? Got any links for me? :biggrin2:

I've seen a few different styles...
Some guys simply have the pipe after the muffler rerouted higher, so it follows the underside of the body closer and then have it dump out under the right side of the bumper near the right rear tire. Gets the pipe up out of eye sight and protects it better.
Others I've seen take the same approach as above (rerouting the pipe closer to the body), but instead of exiting the pipe under the bumper, they drill a 2"-3" circular hole in the side of the bumper and let the pipe exit out there.
Both are good ideas.
I can't remember where those links are off the top of my head (wish I had them saved), but they're out there. I'll do some digging and see what I can find. This topic is discussed quite often after guys install aftermarket rear bumpers, so maybe the pics will be easy to find

Here's a pic of 2ndGen's 4Runner on UY.com where the pipe exits out the bumper itself:
I found that picture in the thread below. It's full of all kinds of custom rear bumpers. You'll also notice that most guys have moved their exhaust pipe so you don't see it anymore
