Well I have wanted a tube style front bumper for quite some time now... I have been talking to many different local fabricators and looking over several different designs... I have a friend who can do welding but does not have the tools to bend the tubing... Well the cheapest local guy said he could do one for $550... not terrible but still a little more then I had to spend... when searching the net one night I came across www.4xinnovations.com... now they make toyota bumpers... well after a little searching I found that older toyota pickup and 4runners have similar frame dimensions as out xterras... well I pulled the trigger and ordered there 84-85 pickup and 4runner front bumper... After a little fabbing up here's what I came up with
heres a pic of it mounted with clamps for fitment

Nice I like it!

Nice! Way to think outside of the box!

sweet that pretty cool that its technically for a toyota...

Looks awesome man

Sweet. :)

so what all did you have to modify to make it work or did it bolt right up?????

nice job sir

looks clean

so what all did you have to modify to make it work or did it bolt right up?????

well i had to build up the frame a few inches but that wass also because I added a winch plate... if I didnt have a body lift It would be pretty colse to being able to just bolt right on

Looks Kool.

Nice Job!

:D

thanks guys!

:thumbsup-big:

Are you going to paint it black or blue?

Very nice! I may have to steal that idea... It looks like it was made for the X.

Awesome!! So, this means it could fit a 2000 X?


Nice Job!

:D


I would like to note the shortest response I have personally seen from TJ ;)

^hahaha^

Drake. In the last pic it is painted lol... its black... yeah you could fit it to a 2000 x

Tube bumpers are hawt! :)


I may be biased though =P

Lots of creativity going on in this place lately, looks good Luke.

sweet bumper man
