Steel Rear bumper

Personally I have not seen anyone running 2 spare tires on dual swing outs. Here are some ideas from a previous dual swingouts thread. Better be a heavy duty bumper to handle this much weight.

I’m pulling the trigger on the victory bumper. I like the look and I like that I can instal the swing outs later. It will be a great project for me and the wifey. Downside is the cost of shipping($400)

 

Please post pics of the install if you can. Keen to learn if it is doable on a solo basis or big help is needed for this type of work.

 

yes please post. I want one as well w/o the swing arm though

 

Will do! Lead time looks like 3-4 weeks for fabrication. I just ordered the bumper, no swing outs yet. I’m planning on only installing one swing out for the spare tire and leave room for a ladder. I am going to install pod lights too and do the wiring with the wife so they will work when going in reverse.

 

That’s the plan for now. Since mine is a limited and I want to keep my back up sensors I will be drilling holes for the sensors(some extra bed liner to coat the inside of the bumper where I drill the holes since I live in the rust belt. Thank god I don’t have to worry about the blind spot monitoring system since limiteds don’t have it.

 

Good luck with the process! Keen to learn from you and see how it looks and whether the product is worth the extra coin.

 

any updates and pics?

 

I didn't see it mentioned but i am running the Backwoods Adventure Mods dual swing on my 5th gen.
the lower portion of the bumper is made of steel and the swingarms are made of aluminum to save weight.

Currently running our Jerrys Can holder and a 35 on it and have had no issues out of it.

 

too bad you dont have the option of not having dual swingouta bc thats a nice bumper!

 

The nicest bumper from a looks standpoint (it also seems nicely built) is the Demello. Really nice lines that complement the 4runner.


That’s hot.

You can buy them without the swing outs. Unfortunately, even without them, it costs 3,400 bucks. That’s just nuts.

It’s much more practical to a run a cheap aftermarket bumper cover, trimmed up at the corners however you please for clearance, and replace them if they get torn off. Keep them black to look badass (and to keep it cheap). You could replace unpainted aftermarket bumper covers 30 times and still come out ahead.

But I’ve run my stock cover through more than I ever thought I would, and only have a few scratches at the bottom corners. So for most, even those that wheel moderately hard, the stock bumper covers on a slightly lifted 4runner is hardly ever going to get torn off.

 

Custom from Nguyen anyone looking for ideas

I went 80% offroad and am very happy with it. Minimalist, not alot of weight and keeps factory lines. Also did not have to cut cross member or lose factory reciever hitch.

 

I have the bumper and I am waiting to take it to my friends shop where he lets me use his lift and tools. It comes on a crate with all the hardware. It wont be much longer and I will be sure to update you all.
I am leaving a link to the video of the instal(looks easier than it looks).

Let us know how it goes with the install. And the process overall and whether you recommend this unit. I have been eyeing this for a while.
