C4 Fabrication Front Bumper Install - 5th Gen 4runner (Part 1)

Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: bit.ly/3feE6tJ
In this video, we show you how to install a C4 Fabrication Overland Series Front Bumper on a 5th Gen 4runner (2014+). We take you through all the steps of getting the OEM Toyota bumper off, trimming the front end plastic fairing, replacing the OEM steel power steering lines with rubber lines and a power steering cooler, installing and wiring accessory LED fog lights and light bar, installing and wiring up a winch, and getting the bumper onto the rig. We also include showing you how to spool your winch with synthetic line.
PART 1 covers getting the OEM bumper off, trimming the front plastic fairing, replacing the OEM steel power steering lines with rubber lines, and installing a power steering cooler.
PART 2 covers getting the OEM fog light wiring rewired to work with the aftermarket LED fog lights, getting the LED fog lights and light bar attached to the bumper, getting the winch attached to the bumper, getting the bumper onto the vehicle, doing all the necessary wiring for the lights and winch, and finally getting the winch spooled with synthetic line.

Almost the exact setup I’m considering except with the Warn VR EVO 10s winch.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great video guys very informative and great walkthrough

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks Antonio.

[@chadevers233]

Just wanted to say thanks for this video and part 2. I had just about the same set up and this was almost exactly step by step for what I wanted to do. Thanks!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

You're welcome Chad. Glad our video series helped you with your install.

[@uniqedeath]

Thanks Tim this video came right on time I'm doing the powering steering cooler this weekend if all the parts come in

[@TimmyTheToolman]

You're welcome Steve. Good luck with the job.

[@uniqedeath]

@@TimmyTheToolman I left the factory cooler in place you think that's a problem

[@uniqedeath]

@@TimmyTheToolman and just connect to the passenger side to the same cooler you installed to the resivior

[@ianhilton4023]

Great video!!! Thank you for posting. Is there any reason y'all didn't do practice cuts on the lower (throw away) section of the bumper?

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@ianhilton4023 I'm glad you liked the video. We didn't think of test cutting on the other bumper section.

[@alfonsomedina8175]

We love Toyota's I love you

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks. We obviously love Toyotas too.

[@ClimbAClassic]

for the center grill, you could also use Japanese hand pull saw with fine teeth, it'll go through that plastic like knife through butter

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for the tool suggestion.

[@chadevers233]

I unscrewed the front grill after I cut the sides and it made it much easier to use the Dremel

[@solluna2155]

Cool 👌👍

[@TimmyTheToolman]

We're glad you think so. Thanks!

[@JAM76ER]

The mall is a rough place.....

[@TimmyTheToolman]

You're damn right it is. You have to be super careful not to spill your double no whip extra hot latte over those crazy speed bumps. Oh the horrors......

[@jaysheehan6122]

C'mon Tim! If it ain't third gen, it ain't worth watching.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

That's funny Jay. I have to admit I'm partial to 3rd Gens but lots of people are modding 5th Gens, and since my friend Garett has one, I figured we'd make videos for the mods he's doing to it.
