Part of it had to do with the fact that he had his carrier come off his 4Runner on the highway because of a hardware failure (spindle failure). Maybe it's because of the liability issue that he does not feel comfortable with making them for his bumpers anymore.

Don't worry, I didn't think you were and I was just doing the same thing

.
Steve has been a friend of mine for a long time but he is a big boy running his own business and makes his own decisions. It's his call on how he wants to do stuff and the point of my post was that there is some background info you and I might not know behind his decision. FWIW...his bumper is very stout and fits very well.
The pisser is there just aren't a lot of options for 3rd Gen 4Runners.
FWIW...Irbis does make good bumpers and I don't think you could go wrong in getting one of theirs if it meets your needs.
Cheers...
