4Runner Build - Community guided

I feel pretty good about buying a stupid hitch link and you guys are buying bumpers, sliders, roof racks, breather kits, and light bars...lol. Just getting ready for this next government shutdown. I have money stuffed away just in case but that's mainly for beer, [emoji2]. I'll catch up eventually.View attachment 85029View attachment 85030View attachment 85031

Yeah. But it was funny! I never told you. Two days after I picked the black Pro up the Dealer told me the SW was on the way! Of course this was after I told them to Bug Off!

Love The Factor 55 with the blue. Nice choice.

I got my tax return this week, so I'm using it. also the ARB is one of the cheapest bumpers, suprisingly

New bumper day! Due to the weight of the bumper, I had to go to a nearby freight shipper to pick up the bumper.



Well, naïve me thought I could fit the bumper in the back of the 4Runner. Well I was RIGHT! We took it out of the box, and got is wedged in the back, and no windows had to be rolled down.



Got it back to my apartment, and will be installing once my shocks and winch come. Just installed the trim prices for now



For those with reservations about 4WheelParts, where I bought it, I get it. I had to call them for the PRO number for freight, and I had to do a lot of the back work, like scheduling the pickup. However free shipping for this? Damn that’s pretty good.

On another note, what winch should I get?

That's bad ass brother! I'm happy for you!!! I know lots of ppl go with this Smittybuilt. If you will be using it weekly, I'd go with Warn. Can't wait to see it mounted.

I'm going to hit a show this weekend. I'll see what they have. I think they have some pretty good deals. I may pick one up without a bumper or mount.

Hey there! I just mocked up my Prinsu Rack and may install tomorrow. You were spot on! Super easy to set up.. Now I'm working on the light bar. I had a couple of questions. Did you have the cut out on the wind deflector for a light bar? I did and my light bar is about a 1/2" too wide. Which cross bar did your mount yours to? I think I'm going to have to set it up with the small crossbar and install it as close as I can to the wind shield. Do you have any close ups of your light set up?

Any info/ideas would be appreciated! Can't wait to see the bumper install..!!!!!

Nice bumper. As for a winch. I think it comes down to how many times you think you're going to use it and budget of course. I went with Smittybuilt V20 even though Warn seemed to be the favorite of most folk.

Enjoying your build.

Did have to cut the lightbar, used a saw for that. The one small bar I used for the back, near the fin. I’ll take some pictures tomorrow
