96-02 3rd Gen 4Runner Open Wing Hybrid Bumper DIY Kit
Transform your 1996-2002 3rd Gen 4Runner with the Open Wing Hybrid Bumper DIY Kit, designed for enthusiasts who value strength, lightweight design, and a custom fit. This bumper is a do-it-yourself kit, shipped in multiple laser-cut and press-bent pieces, allowing you to weld it yourself for the ultimate customization experience.
Key Features:
-
Precision Engineering: All parts are laser-cut and press-bent with slotted and tabbed edges for easy alignment and reduced welding and grinding time.
-
Innovative Design: The hybrid bumper offers unmatched strength, lightweight construction, and the best approach angle of any True North bumper.
-
Laser-Scanned Accuracy: Designed using a virtual model of the 4Runner, accurate to within .005 inches, for a precise fit.
-
Durable Materials: Constructed from 7-gauge HRPO steel for the frame and winch plates, 3/8” thick steel vertical supports, and 11-gauge HRPO steel for sheet metal parts.
-
Winch-Ready: Compatible with winches like the Warn M8000 (10" x 4.5" mounting pattern). Some winches may require relocating the control box.
-
Adjustable Fitment: Oversized mounting points allow flexibility to accommodate older vehicles with frame imperfections. New bolts and washers included.
-
Weight: Approx. 80 lbs. (additional weight for grille guard tubing).
DIY Installation Notes:
-
Frame Trimming Required: You will need to trim 2 inches off the front of the frame rails for a tight, secure fit. The modification will not compromise the frame's integrity. Be sure to clean and coat the cut area with spray paint to prevent rust.
-
Body Lift Compatibility: Not compatible with body-lifted vehicles without leaving a gap. Designed for stock height and suspension-lifted setups.
-
Surface Imperfections: Minor scratches or surface rust may occur during manufacturing or shipping.
