One of my trucks, actually my wife's RAV4 was involved in accident this morning. My wife was on the way to daycare with my 1 year old son, when some $&$% on 4th Gen decided to make a left turn from oncoming traffic (seems that he was missing a turn, because he didn't even stop and gone right through the opposite direction lanes where my wife was driving. She had a moment to react. The truck done its job, my custom bumper saved her from having an engine inside the cabin as it took most of the impact and was flashed away. Damage was so extensive that right side doors were jammed and both airbags deployed. Luckily both my wife and son went out safe. Time will tell if everything is ok, as she was in a shock all day. Long story short - the truck is most likely totaled as it's 2001 and repair will be at 10k as of my calculation.

This means I'm looking for a new truck for her. We looked around and because we want something bigger then RAV we decided to look for '02 4Runner in SE or LE trims. I know that this generation has good aftermarket support. I'm doing my search, but would like some help to make it faster.
Could you guys help me with finding what lift and bumper options we have for 3rd gen and specific with '01-02.
So far I found ARB front Sahara or Deluxe bumpers. I think 4x4 labs makes rear one (would have to check it out) and OME lift. If anything else is on the market, please help me with linking it out.
P.S. I'm not sure if this right Thread Group, so if you thing it belong in different place may be moderators can move it in right place.
Thank you in advance.
