Default Prerunner bumper

Who makes a Prerunner number for our years besides Dixon bros. $1100 is just a little to steep, I'm looking in the $500 range.

I never got why Prerunner bumpers are so expensive. They use less materials and protect even less compared to full replacements.

$1100 for a pre-runner bumper? that's more than my full replacement bumper.. and mine has a lot more protection. that is insane. just find a local welder and get him to make you one

Yeah the prices that prerunner companies want is BS!!! I was able to fabricate my own for about 120 + finish. And it wasnt thin material! Fully welded, arc welded in crucial places. Plus the peace of mind knowing I did it right. Theres no reason to pay so much for a few pieces of metal. Do it yourself or find a fab shop

this is mine, got it custom made for $400, made out of steel, even the skid plate is steel... the guy that made it works at a metal fabrication shop and makes dune buggies, and pre runner bumpers as a side job.. if you live in southern california he does some good work..

The bumper has only a 1-2inch gap between the bumper and the grill area and hugs all the sides really nice
