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!
 
There are also mounting brackets for pod lights within the winch access openings on the front of the bumper and slots for mounting additional lighting underneath the wings.
 
 
PRICING AND OPTIONS:
Main bumper starts at $1150 uncoated, +$400 for powdercoat.
(Optional) Frame brackets - $100 uncoated, +$40 for powdercoat.
 
FRAME BRACKETS INFO:
Optional but highly recommended 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 strength.
Requires weld nuts on back of mounting plates to be removed.
Adds 4 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 $65 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.
 
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.
Will NOT work with oem TRD skid without modifying or lowering it. 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.
