THIS IS A DIY KIT!!!! You will receive the same parts we use in our welded bumpers, but will be required to assemble and weld it yourself!

 

Introducing the Baja Mid-Pro Bumper Series from Ascend Fabrications! Inspired by the innovative lightweight builds of the legendary race and is the first production mid height hybrid bumper for the 5th 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. 

 

The bumper covers the important bits up front then the customer "viper" cuts the bumper the rest of the way to the fenders. This gives the customer a little more creative freedom and also allows for more options with aftermarket fenders.

 

Aside from style and fitment, it was carefully engineered with materials to take a beating while keeping weight to a minimum. The base bumper weighs in at roughly 71 lbs with hardware!

WINCH FITMENT:

  • The bumper was designed using the Harbor Freight Badlands Apex 12K with synthetic line.
  • 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, clock the winch drum, and/or bend/move AC and trans lines.

 

SKID PLATE COMPATIBILITY:

  • Not guaranteed to work with all aftermarket skid plates.

  • If the skid ends just under the lower front crossmember or sticks past the front surface by less than 1-1/4", it should work. Can reach out for confirmation before ordering.

  • RCI, Victory 4x4, CaliRaised, CBI, and All-Pro are all compatible. C4 also fits but requires a specific mounting height of the bumper.

  • NOT recommended for use with oem TRD skid without modifying or lowering the skid. The front lip of the skid sticks out super far and overlaps the bottom of the bumper by a considerable amount and looks weird. Recommended to cut 4 inches off the front lip of the skid or switch to aftermarket.

  • Will work with the black non-TRD oem skid.
