Nice, always good to have more winch bumper options. Prices are good to, almost not worth buggering around trying to make one.

It's cheap but pretty poorly designed imho.

The solid bumpers block to much airflow for my liking, and an exposed winch is better to access a bound winch line. Apart from maybe angling that vented bit at the bottom a little for a better sliding over stuff, its ok looking from the pics.

I was expecting it to look like smego2's winch bumper.

Now his is tidy, that just look's plonked on.

4Runner Pete's is the nicest winch bumper for 3rd gen I've seen by a LONG way. Stunning piece of work.

You'll probably find it in one of last years 'Pyrenees' threads, or a 'Wales' thread of similar vintage. Looks almost stock, with stunning workmanship, with tunnelled in fog lights as well.

He has been asked if his mate will make any more, but the answer was generally negative.
