Toyota 4Runner Front Bumper

Introducing our brand new hybrid steel AND aluminum front bumper for the 5th gen Toyota 4Runner. The Hi-Lite gets its name from its aggressive, high-clearance design and its ultra-light-weight construction. This bumper features a full 30lb aluminum shell and a 55lb steel winch cradle for a total weight of only 85lbs. We've specially designed this bumper to give you strength where you need it and save weight everywhere else. 

Our True Hybrid Design

Typical aftermarket bumpers are either made from steel or aluminum. Each material has its pros and cons. All steel bumpers are strong but heavy and prone to rust. All aluminum bumpers are lightweight, resist corrosion, and are expensive and not as strong as steel. The answer is our hybrid design that combines the best of both materials to give you a strong, lightweight bumper that looks amazing.

Features

  • PreRunner Style Bull Bar
  • Designed and Manufactured in the USA
  • Aluminum Outer Shell - 30lbs
  • Steel Winch Cradle - 55lbs
  • Total Bumper Weight - 85lbs
  • Welded and buffed using robotics to ensure perfect consistency
  • Fits up to 12,000lb Winches*
  • Bumper compatible with factory TRD skid plate
  • Large cutouts for winch access and winch spooling visibility
  • Elevated high-clearance winch mount
  • 2 D-Ring Shackle Mounts
  • 2 square light cutouts to fit most aftermarket pods
  • Factory fog lights not compatible
  • Flat top platform for 30" light bar or other lights like our PROWLR lights
  • Durable Black Powder Coat finish included
  • Simple One-Man Installation
  • Winch can be mounted to vehicle separate from bumper
  • High clearance design for excellent approach angles/large tire fitment
  • Optional Steel frame support brackets (Must have for winching)
  • Optional Aluminum connector skid plate
  • Compatibility with factory TSS
  • Fits early 5th gen models and Limited trim models (different cutting is required due to the different grill styles)
  • Accepts all hawse fairleads and most roller* fairleads. (Not guaranteed to fit all styles of roller fairleads. Some roller fairleads may be too large for the recessed opening.)

Installation video HERE.

We strongly recommend you run this bumper with our Connector Skid plate to provide a seamless flow of protection. Otherwise, your cooler lines and other components will be exposed to possible damage.

Washer Fluid Reservoir Note: our bumper is NOT compatible with the Rago Fabrication Aqua Tank. If you plan to relocate your windshield washer reservoir, we recommend the Snowbound Customs Aluminum Washer Fluid Relocation Reservoir.

***Most winches WILL fit this bumper with no issues, however, if your winch height exceeds 10.1", you may have to relocate your solenoid. Specifically, on WARN ZEON winches, they are 10.5" tall and require relocation/modification.***

30-Day Easy Returns

As experienced Overlanders, we fully understand that things do not always go according to plan. 

That is why we offer you our "No Questions Asked" 30-Day Return Policy, so you can get back on the road for more adventures in a heartbeat.

We get it. You've got a lot of choices when it comes to online retailers, so why should you even bother spending your hard-earned bucks shopping with us? 

Here are four short reasons why Open Road Overland is not like the rest of the bunch and why we believe that your shopping experience with us is not only 100% safe, but will also exceed your expectations, so you come back for more and maybe even bring your friends.

REASON #1: 100% SAFE & SECURE ONLINE SHOPPING

We use encrypted SSL security and are Level 1 PCI DSS compliant to ensure that your credit card information and every transaction on our website are 100% protected. 

REASON #2: DRIVING THE WORLD SINCE 1998

We started overlanding in 1998, way before overlanding was even a term. Since then we have spent the last 25 years zig-zagging the planet trail testing the types of equipment you find in our store. In other words, we learned the hard way what works and what doesn’t, through hands-on experience during our own adventures on 6 continents (yes, we still haven’t made it to Antarctica). To ensure that we add value to your adventure with the products you shop with us, our policy is that nothing goes on our website before it has been thoroughly reviewed. This means that you will not find anything in our store that we would not bring along our use on our own overland adventures.

REASON #3: WE HAVE DRIVEN ALMOST EVERYTHING

Secondly, we have been driving almost any type of vehicle you can think of over the years. This means that we have acquired a strong skill set to answer any question you have concerning your own vehicle setup, no matter whether you drive a standard passenger car, a pickup truck, or a fully rigged 4x4 overlanding vehicle. 

REASON #4: WE WANT EVERYBODY TO GO OVERLANDING

Thirdly, we strongly believe and promote that overlanding should be accessible to everybody, no matter what you drive, or what level of experience you have. That means that we can guide you as a novice overlander just starting out, as well as giving advice to you as an ultra pro with years of bushwhacking behind the wheel. That’s why you will also see both entry-level products, as well as top-of-the-line gear on our site, so we can cater to everybody looking to elevate their own overland adventures. No matter what, you can rest assured that the products you find in our store are here because they do the job they were made to do. 

WHAT ELSE DO I GET?

Apart from the above we of course also provide you with:  

  • Free Shipping on most orders above $250 to the lower 48 states
  • Price Match Guarantee. Best prices online, guaranteed
  • 30-Day Easy Returns. Not happy with your product, we'll take it back no questions asked, and without charging you ANY restocking fee. Ever!
  • Great Service. We pride ourselves on the best service, anywhere
  • Your Satisfaction Guaranteed. We handpick our products for quality to make sure you will love using them on your own adventures. But if there is ever something wrong, we'll fix it
