I love winch bumpers !!! However we must remember that these vehicles come with crumble zone front ends that save lives and serious injuries. Once we put these strong bumper on they literally kill on both ends. ! Ive owned them and I want another one but keep this in mind. They can be DEADLY ...
Nice! I've been looking at front bumpers for my 5th gen and love the steel/aluminum combo. Not bad on the weight and not too bad of a price either. Great install video.
Oooft I like this bumper setup. I started with the Low Profile bumper just like this customer. I really like the aluminum exterior shell with the steel winch cradle. You guys do good work!
Are any aftermarket fog lights that fit into these holes plug and play with the original/factory fog light wiring? Or do you just use pods and have to rewire?
It does fit! We've had plenty of customers do this. The cut is a little different on the plastic, but it bolts right up. There's photos on our website listing for this bumper.
Cutting that bumper had my hands sweating, I'm having trouble figuring out what this would look like on a Limited, know of any pics of a Limited with this bumper installed?
Do you sell just the Aluminum bumper same style without the extra weight of the wench mounts? I want the bumper and skid in Aluminum without the extra steel weight
Nice design! Does the bumper come with pre-drilled holes for the Baja Design lights? Also, I have the TRD skid plate but I assume that the connector plate replaces the factory skid plate?
Thanks! You can mount baja designs light pods in the fog pockets no problem. As far as lights on top, you have to drill those yourself, however its super easy because it's aluminum. Yes, the connector plate replaces the factory skid plate and joins it to the bumper.
On the newest 2022+ models, most likely you'll need to relocate your sensor, but only if you also have the camera. C4 fabrication makes a relocation bracket. However, we have had customers tell us that they just zip tied the sensor behind the grill a little higher up.
We do not do installs at our facility. However we have a pretty large dealer network you can check out here: backwoodsadventuremods.com/pages/dealer-locator
This is a more accurate and consistent way to measure from vehicle to vehicle. Using a laser doesn't account for any suspension sagging. Some vehicles might not be perfectly level.

Appreciate the feedback!
Yes love the weight of 80 lbs

Appreciate that!
Very nice looking bumper. Can a 30" light bar be used instead of pod lights?
We have seen people run a 30" bar in the front on top of the center section.
That’s awesome. Backwoods Rocks!🎉🤘🏻🔥👏
Heck yeah!
KDSS compatible? Speaking of the extension to skid plate.... Nevermind sounds like you tested it
great video! do you have any instructions for installing this bumper on a 2012 4runner?
Are any aftermarket fog lights that fit into these holes plug and play with the original/factory fog light wiring? Or do you just use pods and have to rewire?
Nice
By the way what snorkel is that ?
Are the bumper and skid plate made to fit with KDSS?
Yes
Hello Whats the distance between the recovery points
Wondering if this will fit any of the early 5th gen 4Runners. Sucks that none of them get any love…
My 2011 Trail is waiting for a proper bumper 😢
It does fit! We've had plenty of customers do this. The cut is a little different on the plastic, but it bolts right up. There's photos on our website listing for this bumper.
perfect car
I'm curious why you didn't show the installation of the lights? Do you not install them before you out the put the bumper on?
Which lights are you referring to? You can install the fog lights and the top lights when the bumper is on or off. It doesn't matter either way.
I kinda like it. But do you have to undo the winch bolts every time you do an oil change? What a pain
No, the oil drain sits behind that skid. Nothing to remove from our end.
@@BackwoodsAdventureMods I realized that after I posted that. 🤦♂️🤣
Will you still have the parking sensors?
For the connector skid plate, am I able to bolt it on the front bumper without a winch?
Yes, you can.
Can I buy your old bumper/winch mount?
Info. on the amber grille lights....?
Does this bumper require that you get aftermarket fog lights?
Yes. You can't reuse your factory fog lights.
This looks awesome. Might have to pick one up. Does this work with the trd pro skid plates?
I am in the process of ordering one for my TRD Pro and they have told me YES it will work with the TRD Pro skid plate
Nice bumper are those lights attached to the bumper or is there a grill mounting bracket behind the grill?
Attached to the bumper
Do you have install instructions for a 2019 limited of this bumper.
Installs the same, except the cuts are different. The Custom Shop Inc. in NY has done installs on limited models
I need this bumper for my 2020
Is your bull bar steel?
Cutting that bumper had my hands sweating, I'm having trouble figuring out what this would look like on a Limited, know of any pics of a Limited with this bumper installed?
Yep! The Custom Shop Inc. In NY has done a couple on limited 4Runners
Do you sell just the Aluminum bumper same style without the extra weight of the wench mounts? I want the bumper and skid in Aluminum without the extra steel weight
We do not. They work in conjunction with each other. If it was all aluminum, it would significantly lose a lot of strength.
Nice design! Does the bumper come with pre-drilled holes for the Baja Design lights? Also, I have the TRD skid plate but I assume that the connector plate replaces the factory skid plate?
Thanks! You can mount baja designs light pods in the fog pockets no problem. As far as lights on top, you have to drill those yourself, however its super easy because it's aluminum. Yes, the connector plate replaces the factory skid plate and joins it to the bumper.
@@BackwoodsAdventureMods Great, thanks for the information!
I noticed the shackle holes in the winch plate are off center. Curious as to why it was designed that way?
That's to have plenty of clearance for D-rings or other recovery tools.
Ordered mine today, stoked to get it. Does the edge trim come with it or do I need to get some myself?
Comes with it. Thanks!
perfect
What’s that tool called? The one you used to do the cutting?
Oscillating tool!
So what do you do with this bumper if the camera system upfront ect..
On the newest 2022+ models, most likely you'll need to relocate your sensor, but only if you also have the camera. C4 fabrication makes a relocation bracket. However, we have had customers tell us that they just zip tied the sensor behind the grill a little higher up.
Could this work with 4runners equipped with 360 degree cameras from factory?
Should still work. We haven't officially tested it on one ourselves.
Does the placement of the Baja lights interfere with TSS?
No it does not.
@@BackwoodsAdventureMods Thanks
The fog lights whay did u do with them and the wires?
Converted the harness to accept baja designs fog lights.
You don't use a wire line with a fairlead. Rollers with wire rope winch line.
What is the installation cost of we drove to you?
We do not do installs at our facility. However we have a pretty large dealer network you can check out here: backwoodsadventuremods.com/pages/dealer-locator
Just use a tape from point on another point and then
*** PSA *** for those just now watching - Please wear eye protection when using power tools to cut things …especially close to your face 🤦♂️
😍😻🙌🏼👏😮👀
Why don’t you just use a laser to mark the cuts???
This is a more accurate and consistent way to measure from vehicle to vehicle. Using a laser doesn't account for any suspension sagging. Some vehicles might not be perfectly level.
trash product, dont buy it. support was ridiculous to deal with,
What happened? Ive been looking at this bumper but if customer support is not there then i may look elsewhere
So sorry you had a bad experience. Hope there's a way we can make it right for you! Have a great day.
