C4 Fabrication Overland Series 4th Gen 4Runner Front Bumper

The C4 Fabrication Overland Series Front Bumper is a steel replacement front bumper for the 4th Generation Toyota 4Runner (2003–2009), built from 3/16-inch laser-cut P&O steel with 1/4-inch thick frame and winch plates. At 120 lb in the no-bull-bar configuration, it replaces the factory bumper with a winch-ready, recovery-point-equipped platform designed to improve approach angles and accommodate larger tires. Two year-range variants (2003–2005 and 2006–2009) and three bull bar configurations are available; select the correct year range at checkout, as included hardware differs between them.

Clearance Where It Counts

The Overland Series bumper is shaped to open up approach angles compared to the factory unit, which matters on steep ledge entries and rocky descents where the stock bumper's lower profile catches first. The additional clearance also gives room for larger-diameter tires without the rubbing or trimming that a factory bumper can force. For 2003–2005 model years, a bolt-on top fill plate is included to close the gap left by the bumper swap, a detail that keeps the front end looking finished rather than patched.

Recovery-Ready Construction

Every Overland Series bumper ships with 3/4-inch thick D-ring tabs fully welded front and back, providing solid recovery attachment points without add-on hardware. The frame and winch plates are 1/4-inch thick, and frame support brackets and a washer tank skid are included in the box. The winch pocket fits most 8,000–12,000 lb winches; winches with a relocatable electrical control box are recommended, as integrated control box designs may require trimming of the grille support brackets. Synthetic rope with a hawse-style fairlead is recommended. Some roller fairleads are too large for the recessed fairlead mounting plate and may not fit without modification.

Lighting and Bull Bar Options

The bumper accepts a 30-inch single-row light bar and is specifically designed around the Baja Designs S8. Turn signal holes are pre-drilled, and signals or caps are included depending on the year range selected. Three bull bar configurations are offered: no bull bar, mid-height bull bar, and full-height bull bar with plate gussets. Bull bar tubing is .120-wall, 1-3/4-inch diameter HREW tubing. Weight increases with bull bar size: 120 lb with no bull bar, 128 lb with the mid-height, and 130 lb with the full-height and plate gussets.

Finish and Installation

The Overland Series bumper is available in raw (bare steel) or powder coat finish. Raw variants must be painted or powder coated before installation to prevent rust; test fitting before coating is recommended to confirm alignment and fitment. The bumper is compatible with up to 2-inch body lifts. Professional installation is recommended for a product of this weight and complexity.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Overland Series Front Bumper suits 4th Generation Toyota 4Runner owners (2003–2009) who want a winch-capable, recovery-ready front end with improved approach angles for off-road and overlanding use. It works with up to 2-inch body lifts and accommodates larger tires than the factory bumper allows.

This bumper does not fit any 4Runner generation outside of 2003–2009 (4th Gen). Winches are not included and are sold separately. Raw-finish buyers must arrange painting or powder coating before installation; the bumper will rust if installed bare. Integrated control box winches may require trimming of the grille support brackets and are not guaranteed to fit without modification.

Common Questions

Which 4Runner years does this bumper fit?

The C4 Fabrication Overland Series Front Bumper fits the 4th Generation Toyota 4Runner, model years 2003 through 2009 only. Two year-range variants are offered (2003–2005 and 2006–2009) because included hardware differs between them: 2003–2005 buyers receive turn signal caps or signals and a bolt-on top fill plate, while 2006–2009 buyers receive turn signal caps or signals only. Select the correct range at checkout.

What winches fit this bumper?

The Overland Series Front Bumper accommodates most 8,000–12,000 lb winches. Winches with a relocatable electrical control box are recommended; winches with an integrated control box (such as some ComeUp, Smittybilt X20, Warn Zeon, and Warn VR series models) may require trimming of the grille support brackets. Winches are not included and must be purchased separately.

What fairlead style works with this bumper?

The Overland Series bumper uses a recessed fairlead mounting plate, and a hawse-style fairlead with synthetic rope is recommended for best fitment and function. Some roller fairleads have a footprint too large for the recessed plate and may not fit without modification.

Do I need to paint or coat the raw-finish bumper before installing it?

Yes. Raw (bare steel) variants of the Overland Series Front Bumper must be painted or powder coated before installation to prevent rust. Test fitting the bumper before coating is recommended to confirm alignment and fitment on the vehicle first.

What is included with the bumper?

Every Overland Series Front Bumper includes frame support brackets, a washer tank skid, pre-drilled turn signal holes with signals or caps (depending on year range), and fully welded 3/4-inch D-ring tabs. The 2003–2005 variant also includes a bolt-on top fill plate. Winches, light bars, and fairleads are not included and are sold separately.

Will this bumper work with a body lift?

The C4 Fabrication Overland Series Front Bumper is compatible with body lifts up to 2 inches. Body lifts exceeding 2 inches are not supported.
