Simple brush guard / light mount for 2014?

[Jaan]

I've looked around and haven't found anything yet...

I'm looking for a simple light bar / brush guard type that would come up far enough for me to tie down the front of my canoe without scratching the paint, and have a couple of tabs for some pencil beam lights.

Is there anything simple out there like that?

I just Googled "2014 4runner brush guard" and got hundreds of image results. How much you spend will vary drastically depending on if you're looking for a replacement bumper vs a "damage multiplier. " Check with a google search and you should be able to narrow it down.

I'm still on the lookout for a nicely integrated brush guard or simple light bar, and closest thing after the fugly generic stuff was the SSS slimline hybrid.. Unless you're willing to go for a full bumper setup.

Thank you, but I've got a black belt in Google-fu and I've been searching for a year, since I bought my truck 4th of July last year and I haven't found anything but cheap Chinese stuff that sticks way out and looks bad.

I'm just looking for something simple...to mount a couple of lights and use as a tie down for the front of a canoe. You used to see this kind of stuff all the time for trucks. Maybe it's out of fashion.

I might have to get one fabricated, if nobody is making one yet for the 14's and 15's.

If you've been searching for a year and haven't found what you are looking for, it doesn't exist. The Southern SS is a great option and functional other than a full steel bumper.

And I'm willing to bet Kevin would be willing to work with you to make a canoe tie down loop that was high enough to clear your hood.

Thanks guys, that's pretty much the kind of info I was looking for. There are a lot of smaller fabricators that aren't necessarily easy to find through Google and who might be willing to mod a little. I was looking at that bumper and thinking about a couple of smaller changes to suit my application.
