I seriously doubt this is aluminum. But the information is very lacking, maybe they aren't too interested in selling it? Who knows.
Greenlane one is nice at only 43 lbs. Hefty Fabworks is steel but it only weighs 60 lbs. Hefty Fabworks Slimline Front Bumper

The 3rd bulletpoint in the description says its not..
"Constructed Of Heavy-Gauge Steel With A Durable Black Textured Powder Coated Finish To Protect Against Corrosion"

Right, I was referring to the Warn one, not the Hefty. I just added Hefty as an option if weight was a concern.

I understand. My response was to the Warn option linked in post #3. I was just pointing out that it clearly says what material is used to make the bumper.
I just prototyped the first Coastal Offroad winch mount for the 3rd gen Tacoma yesterday! I expect to be doing the 5th gen 4Runner version very soon. Both will be available in steel and aluminum.

The 5th gen full front bumper kit will also be released any day now. Just waiting to get it back from powder coat! The aluminum version will weigh 65lbs.

I did, you are correct.
They had a last piece in stock.. but was sold before I was able to get it. They no longer make the aluminum version unless we can get a group buy of 10+ orders

I'm literally on a ferry on my way to pick up some stuff from Green Lane.
The owner is fantastic - very responsive and great service. The products are very high quality.

OK, here's a shot of a bumper, skid, and sliders they made for someone that I saw when I was at their facility today. You can also see a new design for sliders they are producing in the background.
The design and craftsmanship of their product is excellent. Their customer service is outstanding. I'm a huge fan.

I'd just email the owner. He's very responsive.
There's also a thread where someone has some shots of the skid mounted.

Just thought I'd share the response from Green Lane Off-road regarding their aluminum stump bumper and sliders:
1- Can the sliders can be used for emergency hi-lift jack point? Not every day, just when I really need to..
A. They are not advertised to be used as a jacking point but if it was an emergency situation, yes you could use them.
2- my 5th gen 4runner is a KDSS model with TRD skid plate fitted. Will this work with the front aluminum stump bumper? No gap?
A. The sliders work with or without the KDSS system and our front bumper works perfectly with the TRD skid plate with no gaps.
3- What's the weight difference in side steps vs oem trail edition steps? Weight of the front bumper over oem components removed?
A. Our sliders weigh 25lbs each. The stock steps weigh about 10lbs each. our bumper weighs 30lbs over the stock configuration.
