Anybody know any front bumpers that don't require me to cut or drill?

    Hey everyone, I'm new here and was wondering if it's possible to add a front bumper to my car without cutting or drilling any holes. Are there any workarounds you guys know of? I drive a 2023 Black Toyota 4Runner 40th Anniversary, and I love it. I live in Dallas and see so many 4Runners with awesome winches and light bars on the front and I fall in love more and more each time I see them. I'd love to add one, but most of the options I’ve found require drilling or cutting, which I’d rather avoid since the car is pretty rare. If anyone has advice, recommendations, or has done something similar, I’d really appreciate it!

    You want the bumper to do its job or just look pretty?

    Both, but preferably look pretty. I am leaving soon for college and won't be going down to my ranch as much.

    Buy a cheap knock-off facia and cut that one up. Keep the original for later.

    There aren't any aftermarket bumpers that don't require cutting of the oem plastic bumper cover, unless you consider a hidden winch mount plate an acceptable "bumper". Even the hidden winch mounts require drilling the bumper cover for the fairlead, though.

    Not sure what you're not willing to cut...

    I started doing some research and I can't find a good one that will replace the whole front bumper. All the ones I find are only the piece in the front and not part of the side of the car if that makes sense. Here is one I found but its pretty expensive and looks like its from Toyota: https://www.paintedoemparts.com/pro...Z4m0Oz_yK8R4sYLUqMvH41fDYRCt59m1l4s6H3OJKTDXz


    I want a cheaper one thats the full front bumper and same paint color preferably one that has the new Toyota lettering instead of the symbol, but Im not that picky, if i find an old one thats midnight black metal and has the side panels included with the old grille, I can change it myself.

    Yeah It's not me it's my dad. If it were up to me I would cut it, the front bumpers look badass.

    1) Not rare at all.
    2) Leave it stock if you don’t want to drill/cut.

    Metal tech 4x4 makes a (pricey) full front replacement. Used to be three others I know of. Two went belly up. One discontinued the full replacement. I don’t think it’s a popular choice

    I like this idea!

    Another option would be to get a front bumper cover from a salvage yard to hack up.

    Assuming you're in high school (or just graduated) and your dad bought you the $50k truck, I'd say listen to him on this one.

    Maybe save that bumper money for something useful.

    The Toyota symbol upper grill can be replaced with the Heritage grill.

    This one is probably what you are looking for. No cut and bolted right up. Sadly they only made 12 and stopped production.

    ^No cut? They clearly cut up the front bumper cover.

    Bahahahah I was thinking the same thing.

    OP just find a junkyard bumper if you're that worried about cutting!

    Interesting. I had not seen this before. I suppose it would give a bit of protection, but mounting on those two small brackets on top, and to the holes underneath, it serves more as a cosmetic bumper instead of giving real protection. I applaud SSO for providing something no one else has, though.

    Also, this installation is shown on an SR5, so I imagine the valances on an Off Road or Pro would have to be removed to install this.
