Well, I don't think you hit anything with much force (speed kills). But you did drag them across some rocks, so they will look like modern art from below.

I agree, these are capable rigs and drive uber nice when not jacked up sky high. I have a slight lift, around 1.75" with a decent set of tires and the thing is a pleasure to wheel with. It does take more care when it comes to picking out the lines but totally worth the compromise.

Totally agree. It's a very fun truck to wheel. It's also really nice to have windows and A/C and leather seats and cup holders... Don't get any of those creature comforts in a buggy!!
It's a good thing you know someone who can do body work...

@BW200 yeah good thing!!!
Truck is going in to the body shop this week. I have a tough decision to make though. I can have them replace my front bumper while they are fixing everything else, or leave the front alone and wait until I finally decide to buy an aftermarket bumper. I've been procrastinating on that for about... 2 years already so who knows when that will be.
Thoughts?

You have a favorite aftermarket in mind?
My son's 4th is getting one of these, have to decide the flavor.
Steel....
Or aluminum...

Which company is that? I kind of like the mini-hoop version. I'm not sure how I feel about the aluminum bumpers though.

thats nice looking
Hefty fab. Well proven in aluminum.
Aluminum ftw. Weight is important!
I like the aluminum option too.

That aluminum is $$$$ though. $1,695 plus shipping. Going to be almost 2 grand.
But it weighs almost nothing and is still tough

Yeah I'm sure. Probably going to be a no on that though. I can't see spending 2k plus a winch when I am not going to wheel that truck hard anymore. Doesn't make sense.
I'd forget the front bumper, if there are no plans for a winch. Or, are you looking for commuter armor?
If you're not going to wheel it hard, leave the front end stock.

Kinda. Just figured if I was going to have to replace it, might be worth an aftermarket option. Based on price I think I'm just going to keep it as is.
Agreed.
I like the ones Southern Style Offroad makes - tight fitting and almost look stock, if Toyota made a steel off-road bumper. But I don't know if they make one for your generation 4R. Maybe while you're at it you could change the front face?! HAHA!
But, I agree with others, if you aren't planning to go into the real rough rocky stuff anymore, leave it stock - it's easier to get replacements if you do trash it.
