NWTI bumpers

[AcuWiz]

Yeah Midwest weather is crazy at times, I do not enjoy it myself anymore. The goal is to back to Southern Arizona in time.

Bumping this thread to see if anybody else has used this bumper or has photos. This thread and the NWTI website are pretty much the only photos of this bumper anywhere on the interweb.

I'm thinking it might look nice painted to match my LX cladding

I have both on my LX painted to match the gunmetal grey. And I guess I have no pics I will get you some.

1990 - 1997 FJ80/FZJ80 winch bumper kit

Just got off the phone with the owner Cory...Nice Guy

He designed the kit himself and packages the orders. He said it is best to text him (360-798-2337) with questions. He has 4 kids and a full time job (sounds like Waggongear )

He has new special pricing if you order front and rear.

I am in no way associated with this guy, but I let him know the Cruiser Heads are interested I would post up some pictures since he does not have an account. I think any testimonials might help as well.

He's a Tacoma guy, but loves Cruisers.

Shipping from WA --> OH was $135 thru Fastenal (more than fair) for a Front.


***Is it true that ARB front bumpers are made from 1/8" (11ga)?


Appears he did a 4 Runner Group Buy in the past:

Rear Bumper Pictures:

Seems like a ladder could be easily added to the driver side.

The rear bumper build/install is still on my to do list. Hopefully once the dreaded winter weather hit we will be able to make some time for it.

 

[drowssap]

Any chance of incorporating a hitch option on the rear bumper?

 

[gofast]

Got the front bumper completed today. I really like it and NWTI has great customer service. Now on to rear bumper! Will post when it is finished.

Kinda like they copied my design - hand built by me in January 2013 - how long have they been making these?

 

[Heckraiser]

I think they look pretty different from yours (yours being much more handsome, IMO). Theirs is all sharp edges and much narrower out towards the wings.

Well, they do both go on the front of an 80.

But other than that, I have to say not the same.

 

[gofast]

Take the bull bar parts off and its pretty identical. My first set of side wing pieces exposed the ac drier, so I binned them and made new pieces. There's only so many designs I guess - it seems very deja vu to me

Your Bumper looks like 90% of the bumpers ever made for 80's....

 

[sleepycruiser]

Anyone else with one of these? I have been looking at these bumpers and really like the look.

 

[SeaWheezl]

I've had mine for a while. Really happy with it.

 

[80proof]

Hey Wheezl, would you mind taking a picture straight on from the front looking downward at the fender flare/bumper wing portion of the bumper? Curious how this would look with no flares.

How much winch room on the front bumper?

Anyone using the rear bumper?

 

[Hornd]

Seems like it would be nice to carry water, gas, or Kero when needed.

+1 on this picture... I plan on going with NWTI bumpers but will be deflaring this spring.

Here's a couple dirty, dark pics i took after work. Will try to get better ones later of you still need them.
