FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Rear bumper that replaces OEM rear bumper fascia???

Anyone seen a rear bumper that replaces all the plastic fascia in the rear of the FJ? A well placed rock (that completely jumped out at me) busted all the clips on my passenger rear where it meets the quarter panel. I figure I might as well put some steel back there if I'm going to replace any part of the bumper...

Beyond that, anyone know of a really cool rear bumper thats not the usual AP, Demello...?

Thanks!

I'd never heard of Red Eye before. The rear bumper looks like it still utilizies the fascia, but it also looks pretty sick! Those cargo carriers are cool storage solution idea as well. And... today is payday...

4x4 Labs did a custom rear bumper for daPitbull a while back.

I'm okay with $1-1.5k for a tucked up bumper, tire swing out, that replaces the factory hitch and keeps the back-up sensors. I've drooled over your old FJ for years daPitbul. Nice build and nice pictures. How did you go about getting your rear bumper from 4x4 labs?

MetalTechs website only shows the tube design... any pics of the metaltech bumper that replaces the fascia?
