What options are there for a metal front bumper?

[38vn38fa]

What are some of the options available from third parties to replace the factory bumper with an all metal bumper? Are there many different manufacturers with different prices and options?

Metal...bumpers...? I don't think I've seen any. Too bad there's not some way you could look for them.

Yeah it sucks. Companies haven't made anything for the 5th Gen because the frame was too weak to handle the extra weight.

It doesn't help the thread, and I don't like people making comments like that.

Where did that second quote come from?

Oh man! What a great idea!!! A metal bumper for the 4 runner!!!

Gee, I wonder why nobody's ever talked about doing this yet?

:rockthrow:

I wrapped mine with aluminum foil. If you dent it up you can just smooth it back out.

In a round about way I was sarcastically telling the OP to search. I help people who have searched the broad subject matter, and have narrowed down to choices based on research they put in. Are we really supposed to look up each bumper brand, price, etc, etc and list them? By all means please do. The quote you put is totally out of context, and was referring to Hispanic migrant farm workers, which really did have nothing to contribute to the thread, on top of being racist. But hey, thanks for taking time to find it and cut n paste it in here.

Just slap on this sticker and you'll have the most metal bumper in town.

Biggest companies I can think of right off the top of my head would be

Shrockworks
BudBuilt
CBI
ARB
Demello
Hefty Fab? not sure if they do 5th gen stuff or not, or even toyota.
Insain Fab in colorado
Southern Slim Line

I'm sure there are more but this group should get you started. Price wise, I'd say all are roughly the same. Be prepared to shell out between 1500 and 2000.
