    Not bad but I would support other Vendors on here first, as I wouldn't recommend 4WP to anyone. SSO, Relentless Fab etc makes these as well.

    Why wouldnt you recommend 4WPs? Actually curious as there one is near me. I have never dealt with them though. Pretty knew to this scene still.

    Only thing I have ever heard on here is the horror stories they have caused on people's trucks, lack of actual knowledge, and overpriced.

    Most locations only deal with dodge, chevy or jeep... a lot of the Toyotas they work on, usually have issues.
    They can do the work, but will they own up to mistakes made. That answer is typically a "no".

    I shopped at 4WP for my OME kit, but gave them a hard pass on installation.

    It's all a bunch of kids younger than me, and they honestly didn't seem that professional; So I'm scheduled at another shop across town that specializes in Landcruiser/Taco/4Runner builds, labor is running 50% more, but I have confidence in these guys which helps justify the price.

    I've purchased stuff from them for a long time and never had any issues. That was usually when they would have a sale. With that being said I have never had anything installed by them because I've heard bad things about their installs.

    I used to buy a lot from 4WP, but IMO their products and customer service have gone downhill. My biggest complaint though is their local stores never seem to have anything in stock; everything has to be ordered and shipped from a regional warehouse, which takes about the same amount of time as ordering something from Amazon and having it shipped to my house does.

    4WP is only good if you have an inside contact and a friend who works there in the shop, then you can get a smoking deal and know that it will be installed correctly.

    I like this rear bumper mostly for the BSM functionality. I wish that it wasn't from 4WP.

    Does it not require cutting the front bumper? I can't tell from the pics. If doesn't require cutting, or at least not the visible part of the bumper, that might appeal to some people.

    "Provisions for all factory safety sensors" means, to me, that they will mount to the steel bumper.

    Well, it is known that the BSM aka proximity sensors will not work when installed on metal bumpers.

    That's how I feel. I'm in the market for a new bumper, and this one fits exactly what I want. Yet its from 4wp. I'm not sure if I want to be a guinea pig for this experiment.
