I loved the tube bumper I had on my taco. I have no idea what bumper ill put on the cruiser.

Trying to keep it light, and reasoning for tube.
Guess function over form, in this case.
Not sure whom to credit, but considering a rear along these lines.
I have no reservations about moving the rear crossmember forward, nor welding supports back to frame. Hope to follow the body lines and gain clearance.

There's a physical size difference between the 88471-16050 and what I assume the prior part number (based on visual of 92 dryer).
The 88471-16050 measures 7.5" and the 97 measures ~9 3/4", but I recall the 92 looking to be ~4-4.5".
Leaving Norton with anyway, since part girl is absent and part guy doesn't seem interested in discussion of. (Once again, should've called Onur.)
Regardless, since none of the three vehicles I typically drive get more than 14mpg on a good day, would like to be a good environmental steward, but lack local resources for an "out of the box" shop.
Would it be out of line to request a discharge, so I could disassemble existing and replace with the JDM, then take to charge?
Better off just taking my lashings at Toyota?
Now nothing of automotive AC lines, except they're aluminum fittings and I'm a squatch.
Didn't you have a rear bumper on there at some point? The tube rears listed above really look good to me however I find it difficult to love the look of the fronts on a beast this size. After owning the ARB I've realized that the shortcoming is the giant amount of metal hanging out front. Keep it small but also provide some protection for the headlights and grill.
I don't know about you but the sliders don't really get much of a workout compared to on the FJC.

Did have one of the prototypes from stainlessdoc and timkorn, but it's found a better home on the rear of merryweather's expo rig. Overbuilt for my purposes and it was a perfect for for his double swing out, potential rear winch.
This sounds like a line from "50 Shades of Ghey" but kind of like the tube peaking up over the hood. For that matter, going to cut off the unnecessary brackets and run it without filler.
I've not had sliders until Friday, so have avoided rocker panel running runs. Think I'm going all in with these, though, and welding to the frame. Haven't had a chance to bolt them up, but once they're finally positioning is determined, getting it on.
In case you hadn't seen Connor's FJC, still sporting your old tube front, how ya like these apples?

Wasn't thinking I could live with the tube look, but it's grown on me.
Thinking once the inner wells are coated black, it'd be less intrusive, but have come to grips with not entering her in the fair, proverbially speaking.
Drivers side slider fitted
Passenger side needs to be modified. I assumed incorrectly on where the support would tie into frame, and it's directly under the exhaust clamp.

After discussion, think it'd be more secure to chop the support off, bolt slider up, bolt "foot" to frame, then bend around, but open to suggestions.

You go through parts so quickly I have trouble keeping up. Conner's rig does look good and he's continually improving on it. I don't really miss the Fjc at all but the Lexus feels like a mistake to sell. Oh well, just have to keep searching for the perfect replacement. Tube front you have there looks nice and light.

So do I. Just found a sunroof I forgot I had ordered, and just finished the email initiating the fourth or fifth front driveshaft order.
None are going to waste, at least.
Knew you'd miss the 80.
Man, I sent that sunroof ages ago!!
T308 go research the history of the color pink panty
Delancy has Jedi search skills...
