To be honest the wait times is what turns me off, pay up front wait 5-6 months for the products (if your lucky) and get a product that is plastered with advertisement logos like a reverse sponsorship.

FWIW - I have a rear bumper skid that bolts on underneath that is not a cut, just a bolt on option. Works well. Could easily be modified for more corner clearance. I did it this way so I could just drop it off when I'm not going wheeling. Requires 6 bolts. Basically it bolts on exactly how the heavy duty trailer hitch assemblies go on - using the same hardware and mounting points. I've had a few folks ask about producing them, but I've never really been serious about it. If I had some free time I could probably draw up the DXF files. I think there's a market for someone to replicate it. The only trick is that the frame has a weld bead down the middle, so you need to work around it. You can see the funky cutout of the mounting flange area on the GX460 class 3 hitch. It's made that way so it doesn't sit on the frame welds.
I've done a fair amount of "testing" and it's held up well.

OH I HATE WAIT TIMES. I'm with you. I can't believe how much this stuff costs and the wait times with them keeping your money...

SUPER EXCITED Y'ALL! Just got back from dropping off my 4Runner at SOS Offroad Concepts in Laurens, SC. He is making a me a "hybrid full front bumper" for my 4Runner then doing the rear high clearance cut. He's hopefully going to make the rear high clearance cut bolt on so you can remove them if you want.
I'll keep y'all in the loop and make sure to post pictures when I pick it up.

I am interested to see how this turns out.

hopefully it will have d-ring recovery points and maybe HL jack points... but the latter is doubtful

Sweet! I'll definitely tag everyone again once its done!
It actually won't have either. I'm keeping the rear hitch because I need it.
I have the d-ring hitch point, so I'll just be using that.

Already have one, but more options are always welcome.

I haven't picked it up yet, but I got some pictures via text yesterday and thought I should share my excitement with y'all! I still have to paint them but here is what it looks like.
He ended up telling me had to weld them on. I didn't care, but not sure if any of y'all would. How much would y'all pay for a kit? He asked me for y'alls opinions.
It was the owner Eddy and his small shop of SOS Offroad Concepts that made this. He has some other great options! Here is his website. He also made me a front bumper! Super talented and great to work with. I believe his wait times are very minimal.

That looks awesome! I am not sure how much I would pay, I guess the question is how much is his work worth to him? I would pay way less than full bumper replacement. The work looks amazing and it came out really well. I would say one of the down falls is that it is weld on. That means most people will have to pay someone on top of the product price to get it installed.

That is awesome! Wonder how much he will charge if he chooses to make those.

I like that they aren’t weld on. Makes it easy. Price? Gosh, idk. I’ll likely buy a 10-13 trail or 14- current bumper cover to make it look right. I don’t think the older SR5 bumper would have the same effect. That being the case, I wouldn’t want to spend a whole lot, but would obviously want the fabricator to make some money on their work.
Like what I see

I would like to see this on an off-road with the valance. Also can you send a pick from underneath? Is it closed out or just open pipe? Please keep me in the loop with out come and costs also Moshie, I appreciate your efforts in sticking it out there and putting something together.

I like it. Step in the right direction. I would be wary of removing factory mounting points for plastic if it's still connected underneath. I have made tons of contract with the plastic underneath in the areas you see that are remaining. It would likely rip the whole thing off with that setup (come close to it without the cuts). I would want it to be some sort of half cut so it's just steel underneath.
Wish someone would make a bolt/weld on high clearance rear tube bumper with a carrier.
