Front Protection Options For Every Build Style

Rock crawling puts your front end at risk more than any other part of the truck. Our Rock Defense Front Bumper line is made from DOM steel, which holds up far better against dents than the HREW tubing found on other options. 

These bumpers include a winch mount for 6 lug 4WD applications and come in fitments for both the early and later production years. If you want a lighter look, the Tube Bumper design from All Pro gives you rock crawling strength with an open style that keeps airflow to the radiator and shaves weight off the nose.

Rear Bumpers Keep Departure Angles In Mind

A rear bumper on an off road truck has a different job than the one up front. It needs to protect the tail without dragging on every ledge you climb. A few things owners often add for this job include:

  • Rock Defense Rear Bumper shaped to improve departure angle while shielding the frame rails and taillights from rock strikes
  • A support kit for extra strength on loaded rear bumpers
  • Weld in frame gussets to reinforce mounting points before hitting rough terrain
  • Matching pieces from our armor selection to build out full underbody coverage

Once these pieces are welded in, your rear end can handle the abuse of technical trails for years without flexing or cracking. Owners who haul heavy recovery gear or a spare tire carrier see the biggest benefit from this added strength.

Rock Sliders Protect What Bumpers Cannot Reach

Rocker panels take a constant pounding on technical trails, and stock sheet metal folds up fast when it meets a boulder. Our rock sliders bolt in place along the frame and give you a strong step for climbing in and out while keeping the body panels safe from scrapes. 

They fit shortbed and 4Runner platforms from this era and hold up to repeated contact without bending. If you are also adding rocker guards or tube doors, our body section carries matching pieces that keep the whole truck looking consistent from front to back.

Finishing Touches For Your 1st Gen Toyota 4Runner

Bumpers and sliders work best as part of a full setup rather than standalone parts. Once your steel is in place, think about how you will recover the truck when things do not go as planned. You should also think about how you will see the trail after dark. A well planned armor package usually includes:

  • A front bumper with an integrated mount from our winches selection for real self recovery power
  • Auxiliary lighting from our off road lighting options positioned to clear the new bumper profile

With steel bumpers, rock sliders, a winch, and solid lighting working together, your first generation 4Runner is ready for whatever trail you point it toward. Every piece is designed to work as one system rather than a random collection of parts. If you are not sure which combination fits your build, contact our team and we will help you match the right parts for your truck.
