The 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner Plate Rear Bumper DIY Kit is built for those who demand uncompromising strength and utility. Constructed entirely from heavy-duty steel, its fully enclosed design provides maximum rear-end protection while maintaining a clean, streamlined look. Optional swing-out configurations allow for a spare tire or additional accessories, while its high-clearance design improves departure angles for tackling tough terrain.
Bumper Features:
- Most DIY bumper kits require hours of tedious measuring, welding, and grinding. Our laser-cut, press-bent kit with slotted and tabbed edges simplifies assembly, drastically reducing welding and ensuring perfect alignment. You can even tack it together without mounting it.
- Laser-scanned for precision, allowing for a CAD-modeled fit accurate to within 0.005 inches.
- The frame mounting brackets are 1/4" hrpo steel. The center section, swingout attachment plates, and side support braces are 3/16" hrpo steel. Sides and end caps are 10 gauge (0.1345") hrpo steel. Shackle mounts are 1/2" hr steel with a 1" hole and are welded through to the frame brackets. Crossbeams between frame bracket and hitch are 2x2x3/16 square tubing. Hitch is 2.5x2.5x3/16 square tubing.
- Oversized mounting points and included hardware allow for adjustability to accommodate frame variations, ensuring flexible installation.
- Compatible with stock height, suspension-lifted vehicles, and body lifts ranging from 1/2" to 2"
