    Looking for somebody to weld up a rear bumper for my 4Runner. Couldn't really care less what it looks like so long as it's protective and not unbelievably heavy. I'm in the southwestern CT / lower NY area but would be willing to drive. Anyone know of a place that could do this?

    I think the closest TW vendor to you is MobTown, but I have to also recommend SOS Offroad Concepts.

    I knew there was someone up there but the only name I could come up with was MobTown.

    What are you looking to have done? I'm no professional by a long shot. I recommend SOS concepts as well unless you're trying to go a different route?

    I need as primitive of a bumper as primitive gets, couldn't give two shits about it looking "nice and professional," simply need armor that won't explode when I tag a rock. Think you can pull this off?

    I don't have time to cut plate and mock it out and all that, sorry man. Plus I'm still learning to weld myself.

    We are getting there. We make sliders for 3rd and 4th gen. Front bumper for 3rd gen. Almost have the rear bumper complete for the 4th gen and are working on the design for the front bumper on the 4th gen.
