Bumper Question Anyone ever use an Ironman Bullbar bumper on their 4runner or Tacoma?

[Elbee]

I am wondering if anyone has ever fitted a bumper from Iron man 4x4 on their 3rd gen 4runner or Tacoma.

Also.... Why did TJM stop producing bumpers for the 4runner? Anyone want to sell me their T-15??

Isn't TJM an Australian company? My vague recollection was not that they stopped making bumper, they just stopped exporting them to the US.

I think they stopped making the old style when the 4Runner started having slightly different mounts from the Prado (5th generation?).

Yes they are from Australia. One of the US vendors mentioned to me that everything is indeed available in AU and other countries. But with US laws/rules the chose to not import certain products to eliminate potential legal concerns given the litigious US society. The difference in certain mounts between the Prado and 4Runner would also force a change.

With airbag & crush/crumple zone compatibility vs Offroad & winching durability I bet they just didn't want to deal with a crazy American suing them.
