Very nice effort and product CBI! :victory:

If I could get the secretary at work to sell me her clean, stock, low miles 3rd Gen. Runner, one of those would go on the rear. I really like the main blade without the swing-away.



Thank You all for your responses. Yeah we are still here and are not going anywhere. Last week was a very very very busy week. We had a customer drive up from Southern California to have us design and build him a bumper for his 3rd gen 4Runner and we only had limited time so we poured the hours to it Monday through Thursday as he had to be in Farmington Friday for the W.E.Rock Finals. If you want to see what the hours produced. Here is a link to the build on TTORA.

But everyone that left us a message or email will be replied to. Look forward to helping all of you out!

Another bump for Jed. I was down at his shop last week and he was working on a sweet expo style 3rd gen 4runner bumper. That guy does amazing work.

Not about CBI but still about rear bumpers...

Is Rockware still around in CO? And whats the relationship between them and Armorology?

CBI is in business and they doing very well. Their backorder is for 1/2 year, so if you want something, talk to Brant or Steve and book yourself in.

I have 1st production bumper for 4th Gen and we worked with Steve very close to design it. What I can tell you is that Steve is one of a kind fab guy who can deliver amazing product out of nothing ordinary. I think we worked for a few month to get the right design and all the shapes. Therefore its still customizable as you may wich to have different amount of goodies on the swing-arm. CBI can accomodate your ideas of either left, right or center wheel location and different locations for Hi-Lift and gas can carriers.

As a side note, Steve just made me a bumper for my wife's 3rd Gen. It is also 1st production unit, so I'm kind of test facility for CBI work. If the truck will go to warehouse this morning, the bumper should arrive at my place today, otherwise it may come only after Christmass.

If you have any questions or need any information on their products, just give them a call. They might be busy in the shop (6 month of backlog is allot of work, considering building time for the bumper from 3 to 5 days), but they will get back to you; or shoot me a message if its regarding Toyota bumper. I might be able to answer your question.

Here is 4th Gen bumper:

He has 4th Gen and so far CBI and 4x4Lbas are the only ones making bumpers for those trucks. CBI makes a bolt-on version, while 4x4Labs require vehicle presence and cutting the frame which can take a few weeks in time.

Love having fun 😊 in the 🌞 by the ⛵ and the ⏳
Just spoke to CBI as they made my rear bumper as well and they are only booked out about 12 weeks NOT 1/2 year as AlexJet incorrectly said].

... Their backorder is for 1/2 year.... (6 month of backlog is allot of work....


Just let the phone ring and they will get back to you or email them as per their website! They are always looking for more business!

Most bumpers (F/R) if they have made them before they have a jig so there are just bolt on and do not need your rig there to fab it.

When we discussed the bumper for 3rd Gen in October, buddy of mine wanted one for his Tacoma and free spot on schedule was end of February, which was 5 month ahead. Steve made a "burn out" plan to make many before Christmas, which is good for customers as it is shortens the lead time. This might be one of the reasons he is not picking up a phone sometimes.
12 weeks from now means end of March - beginning of April.
You also have to count actual build time and time for powdercoating. This adds 2 more weeks before the bumper can be shipped to you. In my previous calculations I've added those 2 weeks in.

Armorolgy has already done a 4th Gen, and a FJ, (I think hes done 2 FJs) Armorology is NOT a bolt on, it will fit much better, BUT the rig has to be there as he builts them to each vehicle. He also has a 4th Gen coming in from Texas in Jan. I so want an armorology, so that I can desgin it myself :victory:
I know that for most people, dropping your rig off in Colorado for a couple weeks isnt possible, but its sooooo worth it.
