1st Gen 4Runner/ 2nd Gen Pickup High Clearance Front Bumper Kit

From: CAD$721.53

This is a high clearance DIY weld-together winch bumper kit for the 1st generation (1986-1989) Toyota 4Runner and 2nd generation (1986-1989) Toyota Pickup. This bumper will also fit the 1984 and 1985 factory solid axle trucks, but some modification of the bumper kit is required.  It features a bolt-on design, protected winch mount, and one of the best approach angle of any winch bumper on the market. In fact, this bumper protrudes less than 5" from the center of the grill! This bumper allows you to forget about approach angle and substantially improves the offroad capability of your 4Runner or Toyota Pickup. It offers excellent protection from trail obstacles, animal strikes and distracted drivers and has been kept to a very reasonable weight of 77lbs through careful design work.

Description

The profile of this bumper has been designed with maximum ground clearance and approach angles put first. The bumper sits as high and tight to the front of the 1st generation (1986-1989) Toyota 4Runner and 2nd generation (1986-1989) Toyota Pickup as possible, while the angled lower faces will smoothly slide over obstacles and ensure you do not get hung up on the trail. The side wings of this bumper wrap around to the front wheel wells and tie directly into the main frame mounting plates for true offroad protection. These side wings will take a serious hit without flexing or deflecting into the vehicle body. For mounting, this bumper comes pre-cut with a total of 12 mounting points. While this is certainly overkill, it ensures that you can solidly mount this bumper onto your truck even if some of the factory mounting points are damaged or rusty. We know that most Toyota Pickup/ 4Runner owners want to run oversized tires and more aggressive wheel offsets. This can create interference issues with the stock front bumper. We have thought ahead and specifically designed these bumper side wings to easily clear 37″ tires.

We finished this bumper off with two integrated light buckets for surface mount LED pod lights (custom light cut outs available by request, such as a light bar version), an integrated winch mount to accept all standard 8-12k lb winches with removable solenoids, and heavy duty 9/16″ recovery points that are placed directly in line with the Toyota Pickup/ 4Runner frame to eliminate any leveraging effects. These recovery points are formed by laser cut steel plates that pass through the bumper shell and tie directly into the Toyota Pickup/ 4Runner frame as part of the bumper’s main mounting brackets. The recovery points then get welded to the in and outside of the bumper shell. These factors all combine to form recovery points that minimize stress on your Toyota Pickup/ 4Runner frame and provide reliable recoveries of heavily loaded vehicles in the worst of offroad situations. What could make this bumper even better? The low profile design has resulted in very reasonable weights of 77lbs for the steel bumper and 39lbs for the aluminum version. Considering that this bumper replaces your factory bumper and associated components, the resulting weight increase to your Toyota Pickup/ 4Runner is surprisingly minimal. This reduces added stress on your vehicle, maintains precious payload capacity, and allows you to keep your factory suspension if desired.

•DIY Weld-together kit – This bumper arrives as precision CNC-laser cut pieces that you then weld together (detailed assembly instructions included)

• Low profile design is engineered to provide maximum ground clearance and complement the factory body lines – this bumper protrudes less than 5″ from the center of the grill!

Bumper assembly

As for welding, with everything designed using CAD software and then CNC laser-cut to size, the pieces fit together perfectly and this makes for a very simple assembly process. All kits come with detailed instructions with plenty of clearly labelled diagrams that are made using cutting-edge CAD software. This bumper kit is well within the ability of a novice welder and many customers have purchased it as their very first welding project with great results! This is made possible by the clean parts fit-ups and thick material. These are two factors that make welding significantly easier. Welding is one of those skills that is easier to learn than you may think and once you can do it, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it. Alternatively, many individuals buy the kits and then have a local welder assemble it for them. Even in this case, it typically ends up being less expensive than buying a pre-fabricated bumper – especially after considering the lower shipping costs of our kits vs. fully assembled bumpers.
