Backwoods Adventure Mods Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen (2014-2023) Hi-Lite Overland Front Bumper [PreRunner Bull Bar]

Toyota 4Runner Front Bumper

Introducing our brand new hybrid steel AND aluminum front bumper for the 5th gen Toyota 4Runner. The Hi-Lite gets its name from its aggressive, high-clearance design and its ultra-light weight construction. This bumper features a full 30lb aluminum shell and a 55lb steel winch cradle for a total weight of only 85lbs. We've specially designed this bumper to give you strength where you need it and save weight everywhere else. 

Our True Hybrid Design

Typical aftermarket bumpers are either made from steel or aluminum. Each material has its pros and cons. All steel bumpers are strong but heavy and prone to rust. All aluminum bumpers are lightweight, resist corrosion, and are expensive and not as strong as steel. The answer is our hybrid design that combines the best of both materials to give you a strong, lightweight bumper that looks amazing.
