96-02 3RD GEN 4RUNNER REAR PLATE BUMPER – DIY KIT

Description

A little about the bumper:

• Most DIY bumper kits include dozens of small flat pieces of metal and require hours of lining up, welding, and grinding, which can be incredibly frustrating and time-consuming. We set out to design a DIY bumper kit unlike any other. All the parts are laser cut and press bent with slotted and tabbed edges. This means it requires a fraction of the welding and grinding compared to other kits. With the built-in tabs, the bumper pieces line up perfectly and don’t require you to consistently be checking measurements. You don’t even need to have the bumper on the vehicle to be able to tack it together!

• We wanted to be able to offer the best fitment possible so we took our design a step above all the other fabrication companies out there and had the front of the truck laser-scanned! This allows us to model the bumper within our cad programs using a virtual representation of the truck that is accurate to within .005 inches!

• Materials: The frame mounting brackets are 1/4″ hrpo steel. The center section, swingout attachment plates, and side support braces are 3/16″ hrpo steel. Sides and end caps are 10 gauge (0.1345″) hrpo steel. Shackle mounts are 1/2″ hr steel with a 1″ hole and are welded through to the frame brackets. Crossbeams between frame bracket and hitch are 2x2x3/16 square tubing. Hitch is 2.5×2.5×3/16 square tubing.

• We realized that these bumpers are going to be mounted on 20ish-year-old vehicles and the chances of each and every one of them having a perfect frame with no previous damage is slim. So in order to offer the best fitment possible, we made all the mounting points slightly oversized. This will give you a little adjustability when mounting. Depending on how far you need to adjust you will possibly need to use washers as shims between the bumper and the frame. New bolts and washers are included.

• Works with stock height/suspension lifted vehicles as well as 1/2″, 1″, 1.5″, and 2″ body lifts! Brackets are sized for 2″ body lift with a modular tab/slot design to move the frame mounting plate up/down to your preferred height. Simply cut/grind off the unused section of the brackets below the mounting plate (cut marks already indented on edges of brackets). However, it should be noted that vehicles with body lifts will look a little odd as the brackets will be protruding up to 2″ below the rest of the bumper.

• The base bumper weighs roughly 95 lbs.
