Coastal Offroad Bumper (rear) on 4th gen 4runner Review (2021)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Alright folks, by popular demand, here is a review of the Coastal Offroad rear bumper on a 2003 4th gen 4runner! We've used the bumper for a while now and taken it on a few trips, so we have a pretty good idea of what we like about it, and what could be improved. This is not a sponsored video and we have no affiliation with Coastal Offroad, so this is a 100% independent and honest review.

Thanks for the review! A lot of things to consider, and you covered them all very well. Still gathering info about rear bumpers, this was a huge help. Be well and see you on the trails!

Thanks for checking it out Mark! It's a great bumper overall and can't really beat the price if you're welding yourself or getting a buddy to do it for you.
Setup looking awesome 👌🏽

Great video. I just finished and installed the CO front bumper and think they did a great job designing such an easy to assemble kit. Thanks for calling out some of the design considerations to build in along the way. I do think locking the swing outs open would be really helpful, especially if you install a table on the back of the arms. I also agree that cutting the bumper end caps is a little weird. I may try to find some extra steel to extend the side up to the body line. Thanks for the great video!

Great video, I was looking at a full set for my Ram but I think I'll spend a little more on the Expedition One. How do you like your icon wheels?

Did you pick up the rim protectors? I actually use a chemical guys jet seal on all my wheels. But I'm going with Icon Stage 5 or Carli, and a full set of the same wheels in black. I wouldn't mind a set of Hutchinson DOT beadlocks but they're almost double the cost.

@@Troche571 hmm nope, running without rim protectors. I've scraped them on rocks and haven't seen any major scratches on them so far (knock on wood). Then again, we don't go rock crawling or anything in this vehicle since it's a more overlanding build rather than a hardcore offroading one. Same reason I didn't bother with beadlocks, unless you're going hardcore rock crawling I don't think beadlocks are really necessary anyways so why not save the money
Nice review. I’ve had mine a year and still haven’t gotten it built lol

Idk about the 4th gen but for the 5th gen they make a full size rear bumper and a lo profile rear bumper. Just bought the 5th gen full rear bumper and took it to my buddies shop to get it put together.

Yeah I don’t believe the 4th gen had the full size rear option, or this is it. Congrats on the bumper! It’s going to look sick!
Is there any legal issues with front and back steel bumpers going on Highway? I am hearing things now that it can be a issue. I live in Vancouver BC as well.

Nope, I know lots of people w/ front and rear bumpers and there are no issues that I have heard of. We got pulled over and the only issue was the license plate light, so I installed a couple of lights and the cop had nothing to say about the rest of the bumper.
what ive been wondering is if you can use a ladder system in combination with this bumper or not

I’m not a 100% sure but tbh it looks like it might work.. you can maybe reach out to Coastal Offroad and ask them but idk if they’d know for sure either.
If I had that I'd weld a pipe to mount an HF spider beam or other type of fibreglass antenna support
Don't let them catch you with two licence plates!

Haha for sure! The NWT plate is pretty well hidden when the swing-outs are closed and really only visible up close, so I am hoping not to get pulled over ;)

LOL following up to your comment - got pulled over for speeding and they asked us to remove the second plate. They just asked us to remove it no ticket or anything, which we have now done. Also asked us to install lights that illuminate the license plate (that was a... fun... project, but done!)

Yepp looked into both Vistory and CBI, the cost was a big concern coming to Canada + border was closed (still is unfortunately) to Canadians going into the US so we couldn't just have them shipped to our friend's place and then get it there.
