After an endless wait for ARB to produce a front bumper we have discussed getting a front bumper made for the 4th Gens by Shrockworks. They seem positive about doing it, if we are positive about buying it. This will be a great alternative for you guys interested in offroading or a real hardcore front bumper. Prcing is not final but current estimate is in the $750-1000 range. We still need acouple more people that are serious about buying to sign up for the first production run.

We started a thread on toyota120.com to get a list of serious buyers. See

More details can be found there. They have done a lot of work for the XTerra guys, and the feedback I have received was extremely positive. Below are some pictures of the bumpers they make for the Xterra. From all we have sen they are a very reputable company to do business with, and also have great product for people who are interested in offroading.

Hopefully we get enough interested to get the ball rolling. And oh yeah, we will need somebody in Houston, TX to go down to their shop for them to do the R&D measurements, etc.

Some pics of their new generation bumpers on the Xterra. Link for those who can't see the pictures http://community.webshots.com/album/496664101xhTenn

Below is a picture of their bumper on the Xterra, obviously the 4Runner bumper will be designed specifically for it.

That's great news I have been looking for aftermarket parts for the 4th gen and have found very little out there.

The bumper has been out for a while now and plenty of folks are using it. All are very happy with the bumper, check out toyota120.com for the bumper and lots of action pics.
