Topic: Looking to get heavy duty front bumper for 88 4runner, any recommendations?

[brainbug]

Basically I want a ARB bull bumper without the $800 price.  So far I've heard of TJM bullbumpers which may have something for my truck and FROR which I have to call and see if they still make anything for the truck.  Smittybilt is nice but they discontinued them.  Anything else?

why not check out front range's website

[brainbug [OP]]

Will do, any others? 

Edit:  I just realized front range is the same as FROR, but thanks anyway.

Try blazenoffroad.com and http://www.addictedoffroad.com/ I dont know anymore than that, unless you build it yourself.

you looked at marlins bumpers?  thats the only way i would go unless your about to build them your self.

You can also frequently find old Smittybilt bumpers FS as well. Like $200 or less for a front/rear set.  Though mounting a winch on it is um... interesting.

I hame a Marlin front on my Runner.On New Years eve an 03 Cadillac pulled directly in front of me and took a 40mph hit in the side.My bumper was slightly tweaked only do to the fact that it only had the front  4 mounting bolts in it.The Cadillac is probably in a 24"x24" cube form right about now sitting in the scrap yard.Doesnt get much more heavy duty than that!!

[Knute]

if its possible try to look at other bummpers and make one you want? if money is an issue you could build one for cheaper than you caould buyso one and it will be exatly what you want.

Id think for your application you should use a Volkswagen bumper from an R32.   LMAO

building your own is the way to go. I built mine and have it to where my tow bar connects to it so als you have to do is pull a cupple pins and drop the tow bar. I have hit trees and rocks with it and no problems
