    Mobtown Offroad finished our front hybrid bumper for the 5th gen 4R. Gonna get some better photos this weekend and get it on the website. Open for criticism since we are just getting in to the 4Runner market with bumper designs.

    Nice hybrid. I like that the fairlead is more vertical than some of the others here lately and it has a completely open, and big, light opening. The one thing I don't like about hybrids is they always look unfinished to me. I think if there were filler plates in the open part of the wings it would clean it up some but that is just my opinion. This would also allow a place to put in more lights or charging/solar plugs, etc....Anyway again, nice design and look forward to more of what you have to offer.

    I like the looks of it but feel like it would greatly change the aerodynamics of the vehicle. Maybe create a bunch of wind noise? Also, why are they called hybrid bumpers? I get with some you retain some of the factory bumper but with this what is it a "hybrid" of?

    I could not have said that better myself. It needs a few filler panels to look "complete. I know it would add weight but just a few small pieces would make a huge difference.
    Great job!

    Do you have any plans for a "slimline" bumper? I don't know if that is a brand name. Just replacing the center of the bumper with a steel one.
    Thanks.

    Here is C4Fabs hybrid and just adding the lights in that area really makes a difference IMO
