My pal Travis over at Envision Fabrication has been making some awesome progress on the rear bumper for the 3rd gen 4runner. To this point, Travis has gotten both swing outs built plus a mount for the traction boards and a table mounted on the inside of one of the swing outs. Last part to be built was the removable rear mud flaps. This next week it goes to powder coat, then final install. I’m pretty dang excited with how it’s turning out:)

1st swing out built. Spare tire holder.

Second swing out built. This one holds the jerry cans.

Table mounted on inside of swing out. Will be nice to have a place to cook and such.

Last month, my Dad and I dropped off the 4runner to my pals at Envision Fabrication here in Denver. With the goal of finally getting a custom rear bumper built for the 4runner. We’ve been talking about doing this for a few years now, so I’m pretty excited to finally be moving forward on it:). Originally, my pal Travis planned to build the bumper in house, but with there metal shop- Envision Fabrication getting some pretty big jobs recently and myself distracted with dental work, we decided on a different route.

So for the base of the rear bumper, my pal Travis ordered a a bumper kit from Coastal Bumpers. He then will add swing outs and a few other items. Along with getting it powder coated. Goal is to have everything ready for Cruise Moab 2023.

Laying out some ideas for the rear bumper at Envision Fabrication back in October.

Dropping the 4runner of to the shop in February. Justin’s mighty “Red Chili” in the background. 3links going in on the front. More Cruise Moab prep.
