4Runner / GX bumper mount location

4Runner / GX bumper mount location : Demello Bumper

I really like how the Demello flat top bumper sits closer to the hood as opposed to GX offroad bumpers that sit further out.

I asked Demello if a 4Runner bumper will fit a GX and they're not sure and said they would need a GX to do a test fit. They're in Riverside, CA. and I'm in Orlando so that's not going to happen.

Our bumpers covers mount different (4Runner straight / GX angle and straight) so I know I'll probably have to trim my flares but I don't have nor do I know how to weld and there's no offroad shops in my area so if I need to move the mounts I can't.

Does anyone know if the 4Runner and GX bumper mounts are in the same location?

Oh Yeah! That is the best looking bumper I've seen. Looks like a BUMPER not a tacked on 'snout extension'. If it fits (or can be made to fit*) a GX, count me in.


*Well, anything can be made to fit if you thrown down enough money. I'm talking reasonably easy to fit.

You will need to trim the bumper to fit the grill since the GX hangs down a lot lower than the 4Runner.

I agree.

I must've missed that. I don't mind cutting the flares but I'm not cutting the hood and grill. D*** IT!




Jason (owner of Demello) said he could make a bumper for our GX if someone has a GX they can do a test fit on. Anyone here in or near Riverside, CA.?

They make hooped bumpers too.

I've been eyeing this: http://southernstylespeed.com/full-steel-plate-winch-bumper-front.html for a while but haven't been able to talk the wife into it. It's her daily driver. Were it mine I would have done the front and rear. I'm in Los Angeles so Demelo is close by but the convincing...

He did make a nice bumper but after seeing the Demello I'm holding out for that.

Shoes and or purse?

My bumper was designed for a Prado so I had to take off a LOT of front fender to get it to fit, not to mention the 5000 adjustments to allow the hood to clear.

Hi Dan, occasionally I watch a couple of your videos on YouTube. Fun stuff. You have an arb sahara bar? Any reason you didn't trim the bumper instead of the fenders?

I have an Iron Man 4x4 Bumper. It would compromise the strength of the bumper to trim it. I knew I wasn't going back, so what is 12" of sheet metal?
