Introducing the Approach Winch Bumper Series from Ascend Fabrications! One of the lowest profile and best looking production bumpers for the 4th gen 4runner on the market. This bumper is guaranteed to transform the look of your vehicle, give you an unmatched approach angle, more confidence on the trails, and get you all the likes on “Front End Friday” posts. 
 
Aside from style and fitment, it was carefully engineered with materials to take a beating while keeping weight to a minimum. The hybrid wing version weighs in at roughly 85 lbs with hardware. It also features integrated mounting brackets for a Diode Dynamics SS 30" lightbar and SSC1, SSC2, or SS3 pod lights, which add performance as well as enhancing its aggressive stance.
 
Another interesting feature of this bumper is its modular design that allows the “wings'' to detach from the center section with high strength bolts. There are a few different benefits from this. First is it makes installation on the vehicle a breeze and can be easily done by a single person. Secondly, it allows for the wings or center to be swapped out in case of damage rather than needing to replace the whole bumper. Another is it allows for much more adjustability than a standard single piece design. You can slightly rotate or shim the wings of the bumper to get the perfect fitment. And lastly it allows the bumper to be packaged in a smaller box and shipped ground, saving you hundreds over what you would pay for freight on a large single piece welded bumper.
 
PRICING AND OPTIONS:
Bumper starts at $1325, +$400 for powdercoat.
(Optional) Mini skid +$50, +$40 for powdercoat.

WINCH FITMENT:
The bumper was designed using the Harbor Freight Badlands Apex 12K with synthetic line WITHOUT needing to remove and remote mount the control box. Although it is still recomended to remote mount the control box to offer more clearance for the AC lines and added room to fit a cover over the winch when not being used.
Other similar sized or smaller winches may fit.
Must have a 4.5"x10" mounting pattern.
Depending on winch size you might have to relocate the control box and/or clock the winch drum.
Will NOT work with roller fairleads. Must be used with a hawse fairlead.
 
MINI SKID INFO:
This is optional but is highly recomended if going offroad and running over sticks and other debris that could damage the bottom of your radiator.
Covers the gap between the back of the bumper and your stock/aftermarket skid plate to protect the bottom of the radiator.
Made out of 10 gauge steel and includes high strenth hardware.
It was designed with clearance for factory skid plates but may need modification to work with bulky aftermarket skid plates.
Adds 5 lbs.
 
FRAME BRACKETS (V2) INFO:
Frame brackets are optional but highly recomended if you plan to use the bumper for winching or recovery. 
Formed 1/4" steel brackets with high strength hardware that tie the bumper into the frame for added winch and recovery strenth.
Adds 5 lbs.
 
POWDERCOATING INFO:
Highly durable carbon black (light texture) powdercoat.
All parts are chemically cleaned, sand blasted, and coated with a zinc primer for extra corrosion resistance prior to being top coated.
If you choose powdercoat on the bumper, the lower aluminum cover will also be coated. If you would like that cover to be left raw please let us know.
On powdercoated bumpers you will also receive black stainless hardware for the aluminum cover (unless you tell us to leave that uncoated).
Powdercoat on the bumper also adds an additional shipping cost due to extra packaging time/materials.
Powdercoated parts are not stocked and are coated per order, which adds additional lead time before shipment.
