I was thinking about an Irbis for my 96 runner after thefergs comments. I agree with the ARB option if there was only one to be had as the front ARB sure fits well.
So I happened to buy this 99 on the weekend and it has the rear bumper and extensions rusting through quite badly.
I wanted to keep this as a daily driver and just replace the chrome bumper. Holy smack did I get a surprise asking the local Toyota dealership for a cost...the bumper and 2 extensions were like $1000.00 Canadian... an auto wreckers link to a jobbers source still put me at $750 Canuck bucks.
Do you guys know of a less expensive factory replacement supplier or I'm sort of thinking an Irbis for certain now. Sort of worried though if these suppliers are reluctant to ship a prebuilt bumper should I be worried that an Irbis is going to fit poorly as well?
thanks for any help
