    If i remember correctly,
    The 2010+ 4runner / FJ / 3rd gen Tacoma all share the same LCA.
    the 2nd gen Tacoma either has a different size bushing sleeve and /or spacing between bushings front to rear is different.

    Did you build your own mold? Are you mixing the material and casting them yourself?

    Ah so the rear bump will be the actual bump "stop" and the fronts will act as the slowing to full bump part?

    I'm assuming these things are being 3-D printed based on the looks, but that's just guess.

    They are originally 3D printed with a ton of post print finishing.

    What's your mold made from? I was interested in trying some slip casting a while back, never got around to it.

    I'm a custom mold maker so if you need any molds, I'm your guy.

    My molds for the front bump stop are made of silicone and urethane plastic.

    @Plastics Guy , What kind of timing are we looking at for an R&D product and possibly a final production run?
    From what it looks like its almost there.

    Suspected as much. In a previous career, I use to do a lot of production molding for a variety of polyurethane products. Lots and lots of wheels.

    I am very close. The design in the picture I attached ended up being a FAIL. So I redesigned it a bit and am heading out next week for testing.
    If all goes as planned I intend on shipping out a few beta sets to get further feedback from other members.

    Then mass production!!!...

    The ones I posted in my photo are wheeler's super bumps for a second gen trimmed to fit a first gen. Retrospectively I wish that I had trimmed them at a diagonal, not just flat across the top...
