Key Features

• Hand-Welded Stainless Steel Construction — Each bumper is hand-welded from stainless steel, ensuring structural integrity and durability that will withstand impacts during off-road crawling and bashful driving. Stainless steel resists corrosion far better than mild steel alternatives, meaning your bumper will maintain its appearance and strength for years of use.
• Black Powder-Coat Finish — The durable powder-coat finish provides a professional appearance while protecting the stainless steel underneath from oxidation and wear. This finish is far more resilient than standard paint, maintaining its glossy black appearance through repeated use and exposure to weather.
• CNC-Machined Billet Aluminium Mount — The included billet aluminium mount is precision-machined to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment to your 1985 Toyota 4Runner hard body. This high-quality mounting system is engineered to distribute impact forces evenly, protecting both the bumper and your vehicle chassis.
• IPF Light Integration — Two sets of IPF lights are included, allowing you to add authentic scale lighting to your bumper. IPF lights are renowned in the scale RC community for their realistic appearance and can be wired to multi-function LED controllers for realistic light operation.
• Square Headlight Design — Two sets of injection-moulded square headlights are included, perfectly capturing the iconic look of the 1985 Toyota 4Runner. These plastic headlights are lightweight yet durable, and provide realistic scale detail that enhances the overall appearance of your build.
• Stainless Steel Light Bracket — A dedicated stainless steel light bracket is included for secure mounting of your headlights and IPF lights, ensuring they remain perfectly positioned even during aggressive driving. The stainless steel construction means this bracket will not rust or corrode.
• Complete Hardware Package — Comprehensive mounting hardware is included, featuring steel button head cap screws and cross head cap screws in various sizes, plus both black and silver nuts to accommodate different mounting requirements and aesthetic preferences.
• 1985 Toyota 4Runner Specific Design — This bumper is engineered specifically for the 1985 Toyota 4Runner hard body, ensuring perfect fitment without modifications or trial-and-error installation. The authentic styling recreates the look of the classic Toyota 4x4.

Technical Performance

Measuring 192.9mm in length, 54.6mm in width, and 57.0mm in height, the bumper is proportionally scaled to complement the 1985 Toyota 4Runner hard body without appearing oversized or undersized.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the RC4WD Thrust Front Bumper compatible with all 1985 Toyota 4Runner hard bodies? — Yes, this bumper is engineered specifically for the 1985 Toyota 4Runner hard body and is designed to fit perfectly without modifications. The CNC-machined billet aluminium mount ensures precise fitment to the chassis of this specific vehicle.
• Can I use this bumper without the LED lights? — Absolutely. The bumper functions perfectly as a standalone protective component. The light mounting system is optional, and you can install just the bumper for protection without adding any lighting if you prefer a simpler setup.
• What LED lighting systems work with this bumper? — The bumper is compatible with the RC4WD Multi-Function Control Unit, TLU-01, TLU-02, and any other 12-volt LED lighting systems. These controllers allow you to operate the included IPF lights and square headlights, often with programmable lighting sequences for realistic operation.
• Will the bumper add significant weight to my 4Runner? — No. At just 177.4 grams, the bumper is lightweight enough that it won't noticeably impact your vehicle's performance, acceleration, or battery runtime. The weight is negligible for most RC crawler applications.
• Is the stainless steel construction worth the cost compared to steel bumpers? — Yes. Stainless steel resists corrosion and weathering far better than mild steel, meaning your bumper will maintain its appearance and structural integrity for years of use, even in damp conditions or if used outdoors frequently. The durability justifies the investment.
• What tools do I need to install this bumper? — Basic hand tools such as hex keys (Allen keys) will be required to fit the M3, M2, and M1 fasteners. No power tools or special equipment is necessary for installation.
• Can I modify the bumper or cut it to fit other vehicle models? — Whilst the bumper is hand-welded and could technically be modified by skilled builders, doing so would void any implied warranties and compromise the structural integrity of the component. It is designed specifically for the 1985 Toyota 4Runner and is best used as intended.
