C4 4Runner Hybrid Front Bumper

C4 Light Weight High Clearance Steel Hybrid Bumper for 5th Gen 4Runner Hybrid Front Bumper (2010+)

In the market for a steel front bumper for your 5th Generation 4Runner? Look no further than the newly release C4 Fabrication Hybrid Bumper. Not only does this bumper give you the look of a tube style bumper, while allowing you to still mount a winch, lightbar, and other accessories, it also gives you a lighter option compared to non-hybrid bumpers on the market.

C4 Fabrication’s Hybrid Bumper allows you to mount a hidden 8-12K winch behind the center plate section of the bumper, as well as mount up to four different styles of lighting. You have a dedicated spot for a lightbar, and up to three (depending on light choices), to fit in the tube sections of the bumper. C4 Fabrication uses the Baja Designs S2, Squadron, and XL lights for the tube sections.

C4 Fabrication recommends Baja or Rigid lighting for their Hybrid Bumper light bar cutouts as the pre-welded mounts are designed for them. This does not mean other light bars will not work with the bar, they may just require some adjustments to fit.

Specs on the C4 Fabrication Hybrid Bumper are the following:

• Lead Times: Currently 14 Weeks
• 3/16” laser cut P&O steel
• 1/4” thick mounting plates
• 3/4” thick D-Ring tabs
• .120 wall tubes
• 1 3/4” diameter HREW tubing
• 120-135lbs depending on bull bar option
• Not compatible with TSS
• SHIPS BARE STEEL, C4 does not offer powder coating services. Bumper will need to be painted or powder coated before installation to prevent rust.

Optional Equipment:

• Bull Bar (none, mid-height, full-height)
• 30” Lightbar cutout
• Windshield washer reservoir skid

Features and Benefits:

• Bumper offers more clearance for better approach angles and makes it easier to fit larger tires.
• Center portion is made from 3/16″ laser cut P&O steel with 1/4″ thick mounting plates.
• 3/4″ thick D-Ring tabs standard on every bumper and come fully welded front and back.
• Tube portions are .120 wall 1 3/4″ diameter HREW tubing.
• Fits most winches 8k-12k in size. Winches with the ability to relocate the electrical control box are recommended. Integrated control box winches may require some trimming of the grille support brackets to fit.(ComeUp, Smittybilt X20, Warn Zeon and VR series are all common winches that fit).
• We recommend using winches with synthetic rope and a hawse style fairlead for the best fitment and functionality. Some roller fairleads may be too large to fit the recessed fairlead mounting plate in the bumper.
• 120lbs without bull bar, 125lbs with mid height bull bar, 135lbs with full height bull bar.
• Bumper is designed to fit 30″ single row light bars (specifically designed for Baja Designs S8 light bar). Extreme LED 30″ 5D light bar and RIGID 30″ SR series, will also fit.

The 2014+ 4Runner Hybrid bumper is a unique combination of a plate steel center with round tube on the sides. This design allows you to achieve a “lighter” look while gaining the ability to mount a winch, LED light bar and multiple combinations of fog lighting in the tube area.

The C4 Fabrication Hybrid Bumper requires trimming of the OEM plastic bumper, as well as the removal of factory pieces behind the OEM bumper. If you have installed their Lo Pro Bumper, you likely have already removed some of the pieces required for this install. Installing this bumper also requires removing the original steel power steering cooler lines and replacing them with the power steering cooler kit we provide with the bumper. Installation of the cooler kit is straightforward and does not require draining the power steering system. Replacing the power steering lines provides more room for the winch and also removes the low hanging “U shaped” portion of the lines near where the bumper bolts to the frame so that the lines are not exposed to obstacles and debris.

C4 Fabrication is known for their precision fitment of products, and because of this the OEM power steering metal line will need to be removed and replaced with a new power steering condenser. This allows the Hybrid bumper to sit flush with the body, allowing the least amount of protrusion possible, as well as fit the majority of 8-12K winches on the market (some may need their control boxes relocated).

It it important to note that C4 Fabrication does not offer power coating at this time, meaning the bumper will ship bare steel. While this can be inconvenient to some, it’s a positive as you don’t have to worry about chips in powder coat during the shipment process, which tends to happen more than often with companies who offer powder coating.

Lead times are typically around 8-weeks, and are shipped via freight, though in most cases they can be sent to your home address for additional costs.
Depending on garage setup, install time can take anywhere from 4-7 hours.

If you are looking for a steel front bumper to stand you out in the ever-growing crowd of Toyota 4Runners, the C4 Fabrication Hybrid Bumper is the bumper for you. Not only does it give the 5th Generation 4Runner an even more aggressive front end look than stock, it also allows you to fit larger tires without issue — 35’s are no longer a problem like they were with the stock bumper.
