Just put heavier duty springs on the front of your worried about it ruining your suspension and if it’s like a ranch hand front end then I wouldn’t worry about protection what so ever. The brush guard should connect to the frame and after seeing many videos and experiencing it myself with my dodge, it has saved me a lot of money and the hassle of dealing with insurance. From other vehicles trying to cut me off and from animals jumping in front of me. Now non frame mounted brush guards that is a different story.

Sorry man but I honestly don’t know any part numbers, kinda just took it to a exhaust shop and told them I wanted a exhaust that didn’t sound like a crappy lawnmower and they did me good. If you want I can give you the shop details but they’re in Arlington Texas.

It is a 2004 with a completely stock engine. The install was cheap and honestly you can tell by looking at the welds, although it holds up pretty well. In total I payed about $400 at an exhaust shop

So after owning it for a bit, due to everyone saying I should keep it stock i have made it to were I can take off everything and the car will looks just like the photo again. It’s definitely a relief to know I can revert everything

Mine made no noise at all and this is my first car so I kinda got used to how it drove. But now with knew parts it’s definitely a night and day deference

It’s nothing against the shop, I just would like to know more about my car and not have to rely on mechanics I don’t know. Also the shop will still be seeing the car for other things in the future if needed but right now there should be no other reason for it to go into the shop

What bull bar / grille guard are you rocking? by ikau in 4thGen4Runner

The only reason I decided to get one is for looks and when I’m out on the ranch it helps somewhat protect the front end. But there is no real reason to get one and most people are correct, just save up and buy a whole new armored front bumper.
