Hey, great to see you on the forums again! It's been at least a few years since we've seen each other. My 4Runner probably looks about the same as when you saw it last. Nice to see you have a Toyota now. The rate of aftermarket development for Toyotas really does seem to be faster than for Montero's. There's a LOT of Taco owners interested in aftermarket mods. My bro still has his Montero Sport (with a crummy gear ratio).

Sorry I can't help much with the bumper question. The guy who built my custom aluminum bumper sort of disappeared. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

In my opinion, you can find a better solution for your desires than All-Pro sliders.

Just one possibility for you to check into is Off-Road Solutions since they are local and do mostly Toyota work. They do list both round-tube and square-tube sliders on their web site for Tacomas. They do custom work too, so I'm sure you could customize it how you want. (Their 1/4" wall tubing really seems overkill and would be very heavy though - you might see if they'd use either 1/8" or 3/16" if you go the custom route). Square or rectangular tube would be better for steps.
