bumpers or lift for '03 4Runners? #346683 11/13/03 08:31 AM

I have looked all around and am yet to find any front bumpers for the new '03 4Runners. Its a bummer Toyota had to change the '03 into a big piece of plastic <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />, and I need some thick steel on the front to protect from the winter snow berms. Hopefully even a place for a winch. Has anyone found one yet? I havent been able to locate an ARB for it yet. I saw a bumper for it on Slee Offroads's site (I think it was there, anyway), but it was more of a prerunner tube type.

Also, does anyone know what my options are for a lift for this rig? Its a V8 SR5 if that makes a difference. I want to get it a little taller to match the Land Cruisers (FJ40) height when we tow it to the trail.
Thanks in advance!

I would suggest posting on the SUV page if you haven't already. No one here has an '03 4Runner that I know of.

Currently, Revtek is the only company that has anything on the shelf. They are the spacer technology lift and a few members here on some of the yota sites have em already.

Daystar has a prototype on the road and they should have theirs on the shelf soon as well (spacer).

Downey is working on finishing their full suspension lift soon as I'm waiting for them personally (coilover front, shock/coil rear).

SAW is working on theirs but no word on when they will have their coilover done.

As for the front bumper, nobody has anything as it's too new. Even tjm and arb are nowhere near even making one. I have been talking to Demello Offroad regarding this and will be working together to get a prototype front bumper (similar to the arb and tjm bumpers). Hopefully we'll have something done by the end of the year.

Good luck!

Don't lift it over 2" with that stupid ADD. If you do, you will probably be replacing the CV boots every 5,000 miles. I have a '96 Limited 4Runner and replaced the factory shocks with OME shocks. The shocks alone lifted it about an inch in front and 1.5" in back, not to mention the ride is 10x's better both on and off-road. IMHO, wait for OME to start making shocks and springs for your '03 and buy them. You will be very happy with the result. They are significantly better than spacer lifts!
