Product Overview

Engineered for serious off-road performance without unnecessary weight, the Metal Tech 4x4 Front Tube Bumper for the Toyota FJ Cruiser delivers strength, smart engineering, and modular flexibility.

Constructed from 1.75” x .120 wall tubing, this lightweight bumper weighs only about 19 lbs more than the factory front bumper, making it one of the strongest performance-focused options without drastically affecting front-end weight.

Designed to run with or without a winch, this bumper gives you the ability to configure your setup depending on your needs — without permanently carrying the extra weight.

🔧 Key Features

• 1.75” x .120 wall steel tube construction

• Lightweight, high-strength design

• (4) integrated light tabs (2 grille, 2 stinger)

• Configurable for winch or bash plate setup

• Independent winch mounting system

• Mounts to factory frame horn locations

• Clean wire routing through laser-cut access ports

• Optional powder coating available

Estimated Install Time: ~6 hours

🏁 Independent Winch Mount System (Industry-Leading Design)

Unlike traditional bumpers that mount the winch directly to thin factory bumper horns (~1/8” steel), Metal Tech engineered a 100% independent twin-beam winch system that:

• Bolts to reinforced frame points

• Mounts behind the crumple zone

• Installs separately from the bumper

• Allows one-person winch installation

• Avoids stressing thin sheet metal

Once installed, the bumper and winch appear as one cohesive unit — but function independently for maximum durability and safety.

This is a smarter, stronger solution built for real off-road recovery use.

🛡 Bash Plate Configuration

If you choose the non-winch setup:

• Bash plate mounts in front of the stinger

• Custom laser-cut ¼” cold rolled steel lower bash bar

• Protects lower radiator and vulnerable components

• Maintains lightweight advantage

Switching between winch and non-winch configurations takes approximately 30–45 minutes using basic hand tools.

Running without the winch setup removes:

• 70–90 lbs of winch weight

• ~40 lbs of winch mount weight

💡 Lighting Integration

Includes four light tabs:

• (2) in grille area

• (2) on top of stinger

Laser-cut access holes allow clean internal wire routing through the bumper tubing for a professional, protected installation.

🎨 Optional Powder Coating

• Adds approximately 2–3 weeks processing time

• Ships RAW steel unless powder coat option is selected
