5th Gen 4Runner Lo Pro Front Bumper & High Clearance Additions – C4 Fabrication
This trail-proven bumper from C4 Fabrication is the perfect blend of function and style to fit the avid off-roader or weekend adventurer. The bumper fits right in the lower section of the 5th Gen 4Runner, and the fit is so perfect you would almost think that Toyota designed that section specifically for aftermarket replacement. This bumper offers you functionality while still retaining a lot of the original OEM front-end look. One of the biggest selling points for this bumper over a full-sized bumper is the overall weight you’re saving. The Lo Pro Front bumper is designed to fit a 30-inch single row light bar and to accommodate 10k-12k lb winches. Made with CNC cut and press brake bent from 3/16 inch P&O steel, this bumper is trail-ready and built to last. The Lo Pro Bumper fits 2014 and up 4Runners.
While this bumper doesn’t give you any additional clearance, you can gain more clearance at the front of your 4Runner by adding High Clearance Sides. High clearance sides will give you more room for larger tires and create a better approach angle for large obstacles. They are a direct bolt-on application to the C4 Lo-Pro Winch Bumper and give a more aggressive look to the front of your vehicle.
MSRP: $485-$882
