Looking at this '10-'13 bumper looks pretty easy to get off if you plan to swap.

I think I may order the C4 this week... I need to search out a reputable/local powder coater.

It will probably look a little weird on stock suspension with just the current Michelin LTX M/S2 tires. I guess the slow ease in for the wife... need tires and sliders next :-)

I do wonder what I could get away with having the bags and AVS in regards to just leveling kits alone since I imagine any type of body lift rules out the use of AVS.

Wonder how different this is from the 14-17 models. Acrad you have a 10-13 right? See the Dobinson’s ones on eBay/amazon? $1000 shipped.

Wish somebody would just come out with one for the 14+ already. The market is only going to increase for them. Talked to a couple places about importing one, only one said there would be no upcharge for freight/shipping from ARB, just have to order and wait a long time. Not many companies make ones with front sensor holes already in there.

This one here? Yeah.. I have a '12. I think Southern Style Off-road will probably have the first '14+ out

Amazon Amazon

Yea, I like those. Their catalog doesn’t differentiate between 10-13 and 14+ but the adverts for those say 10-13. If I had your year I’d probably go for one of those.

Idk if SSO will or not. They said they were for months now and the only thing I see is that winch bar tucked away behind the grille. He originally told me they were going to be making a “solution” to the low hanging bumper.

That is kinda what has drawn me to the C4... sensors and even my headlight washers would still work. Not that I use the latter much but there may be a need at some point in a blizzard or mud hole

Probably the best looking full bumper so far for the GX

I was thinking about adapting the Demello 4 runner bumper to the GX. I like their design and the aluminum version is interesting. It should bolt right up, I'm just not sure about clearing some of the internal components. The sides would need to be trimmed to fit the panel lines of the GX too.

according to @sutnaipics buddy, this is a bolt, only requires trimming and you lose your spare tire mount. The unit that pulls the spare up is in the way, so the whole thing comes out...kind of disappointed by that since I had plans of converting that into a water tank. Anyways, I'm trying to get information out of them, I'll post it as it comes.

Somewhat bumper related. Just found this pic interesting if it’s actually to scale.

Interesting comparison between '10-'13 front end and '14+
