[QUOTE=4runner mike;51067921]man i love the back bumper thats pretty cool how it goes over didnt think it would look as good as it did but any ways [QUOTE]

thanks dude. i was kinda skeptical about it at first too, but i needed a way to mount my rack and the semi/start of my exo. even though the pipe will be chopped off and replaced with pipe. but it will hold its own for now.

yeah i hear that cv's break alot with that size tires. i broke one and got my replacement from there too. now hopefully the other one will so i can have a reason to buy another one with that warranty
