- Looking to upgrade the looks and strength of your 4runner front end? In this video, we do just that with the Lo Pro bumper from C4 Fab. Along with a warn winch and a 30" light bar from Baja Designs. Overall everything was a pretty easy and straightforward install. If you're intimidated by an installation like this, don't be, you can do it.

Man I wish I lived close enough to you guys, i would bring my truck to you for all the work.
This is the best video i have seen for this install. Great job
Appreciate that!
OMG I want that set up so badly! I'm sure it will come in handy every hurricane season in Puerto Vallarta where I'm taking my 4Runner. Wish you were in CA. Damn! Beautiful job!
Great job! Thank you.
Looks really nice
Thanks!
Just got my trd off-road can’t wait
Awesome! Congrats! If you need anything for it, reach out to us and we'd be glad to help.
This is hands down one of the best step by step videos on the install I have seen, great job!!! Did you grade the springs for the added weight of the winch and bumper? And would it sag if I added this to a stock 2022 Pro? Thanks in advance.
Thanks!! We didn't switch out the springs on our suspension. We are currently running the ICON stage 1 lift kit. After adding the bumper and winch we adjusted the front a little to make up for the added weight. As far as adding a bumper to your stock TRD Pro...I'm sure the fox suspension would perform better than the standard suspension but it's still going to sag from the extra weight, the question is how much.
Great job on the video. I would of liked to see your actual light switches when turning on light bar.
Thanks! Once we have the switch panel all finalized we will do a full video on just that.
Great video. Yes the only unknown for me is the light bar switch and how to accomodate that.
We have OEM style switches that go right in the dash vs having to drill a hole for the generic style switches they normally come with. In this install we hooked it up to our switch panel which makes it super easy.
I'm planning to get one of these bumpers with the high bull bar. I see there are two options for lights... Baja or Heretic. Can you explain the difference to me? Thanks and great video
I did the Eibach spring lift on my 23 TRD Pro. How much do you think the lightest bumper and winch would drop the font end if installed?
If I had to change out the light bar . Do I have to remove the bumper or is there access on the top
🙌🏼🙌🏼Great video very helpful. How many hours to complete this upgrades? Thanks man!
Thanks! Really hard to judge time because of filming and what not. But I'm guessing like 2-3 hours
Great video BTW. I'm ready to do my own too. Do you know if one can order the C4 LOPro bumper without the holes for the light bar? I frankly don't like the light bar look, nor desire the added expense of the light bar.
The light bar cut out is standard on the C4 bumpers
Hey! I'm thinking of converting my 2017 4runner limited's front end to a trd pro bumper. I was wondering, if I installed a c4 lo pro bumper onto my stock 4runner with stock suspension, would it create a lot of sag? If so, would you recommend maybe a leveling kit to balance it out or doing a lift? I don't plan on doing any serious overlanding, but the occasional camping/snowboarding trip. Thank you!
I would recommend upgrading the front suspension and getting a stiffer spring for the weight. Bilstein 6112 would be a nice option.
Have you had any problem with the light bar. I had my first light bar and left section died in 28 days. So I took it back to 88 rotors and they install the second one. And now it’s two days and the center doesn’t work .
Can I get a low profile winch like that for my Tacoma?
For the wired winch controller do you need to make an access hole somewhere so you can reach your hand inside so you can plug it in when you need it?
No, there is room on the bumper to reach in.
How does this work with Air bag sensors
I have the same BD Light Bar you do but am using their Baja Designs S8/IR Wire Harness with Mode-2 Bar max 325 watts - 640122 and want to wire it into a Small Style Toyota OEM Style "LED LIGHT BAR" Switch × 1. Do I cut off the two switches on the harness and tie into the switch?
Correct, you don't need to use those switches. You can Take the wires off the Baja switch and put them on to an OEM style switch. You will need 2 switches though if you want to run the light bar and the backlighting separately.
Ok thanks
I see you put the cover back on the top to close off the air for the radiator ... how do you access the wench to free spool ? Thanks
You can easily get to it through the opening in the C4 bumper
You mention using a double sided tape to hold the fog light wires in a new position. What tape is recommended for this ?
You can get rolls of 3m tape.

Great video as always. Can I have the link for trim molding? Thank you.
Thanks! I added the molding link to the description.
I'm preparing do this install with a gen 3 Smitty built 10k winch and adding the high clearance additions at the same time. I need to go buy a torque wrench and maybe a few socket extensions. Do you have a list of all tools used during the process and maybe some extra non necessary extras that help make it easier if you do have them? Once i take this thing apart it makes it real hard to run to the local hardware store for a random missing piece or two. Thanks if you can come up with a list if not no worries this video is more than helpful
Hey Joseph. Off the top of my head I cant remember all the tools used. I would just start with the basics. 10,12,14,17,19mm. Something to cut the bumper with. And maybe a jack to help you get it lifted and installed.
@@yotaxpedition Dremel acquired and viper cut already done. Ordering the covers from your Amazon link probably today. Have a jack as well and most if not all of those sockets, I think. I'll probably end up watching 2 or 3 more times before I dive in. I'll make notes as I watch. Recommend touque wrench?
Torque wrench is not needed but it depends how specific you want to get with your tightening
@@yotaxpedition I probably will want to get them to spec, but also I'm just looking for a reason to go buy more tools 😬👀 thanks for the replys!
Can you show us the bracket and how you made the modification to bring the light bar closer to the window on the bumper? I’m attempting to do the same thing
I show me modifying the light brackets in the video.
Great video! Can you get the same result of spacing with the Baja design bracket if you drill new holes like you did in the extreme LED bracket?
Are the lead times on this bumper 10 weeks like their website says? I saw something a couple months ago that said they cut their lead times to 2 weeks
C4's website currently say 8 weeks.
Does this already come in black, or would it have to ro be painted when received?
The bumper from C4 comes raw and will need to be painted or powdercoated.
Awesome vid ! But…. Link to trim molding ?? 🤔
Sorry! I just added it to the description!
Already order my bumper from yotaxpedition jus't, want know model for the same winch some link whaere i can order?
Awesome! Warn actually doesn't offer this exact winch anymore. They were recalled for the wireless controller. Here is winch that we offer that is similar yotaxpedition.com/products/sx10sr-12v-dc-10-000lb-synthetic-rope-winch
Is your light bar pushed up against the bumper? I am wondering if the light bar contacts the front face will rubbing be a problem?
It is not touching. Maybe 1/4" gap.
@@yotaxpedition Thank you
What about the switch. U drilling something inside or you using the existing switch to turn everything on at the same time.
Assuming you're talking about the light bar? We have the light bar wired in to our switch panel. Makes it very easy to install. They should available soon!
Don't forget to subscribe and stay up to date on all our videos!
Great video.
But.... it's WINCH, WENCH is something totally different. Lol
Winch, winch, winch, use that "I" no "E".
Tomato Tomahto lol
a wench sells you beer and more in a brothel@@yotaxpedition
Where can I get the trim for around the cuts we did?
Amazon, here is a link www.amazon.com/SYOAUTO-Guards-Universal-Rubber-Protector/dp/B08Z4F8WMM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3I4LMPIJ3MIMY&keywords=automotive%2Bdoor%2Btrim&qid=1699879586&sprefix=automotive%2Bdoor%2Btrim%2Caps%2C74&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
Where did you buy those raptor lights?
Those will be available on our site soon!
I don't even own a 4runner, why am I here?
LOL its a sign
😂😂😂😂
What size tires are those? They look so small on the fat 4runner. It's my only real hesitation getting into a 4runner, they look beefy on top of tiny tires.
These are 285/70/17 MT's from Mickey Thompson
do you think my stock front suspension will handle the weight of the bumper and the winch? I just want to install the bumper to get a winch
The stock 4Runner suspension is pretty soft to begin with. I would suggest upgrading the front suspension.
@@yotaxpedition what do you think it the best lift for the front to get it back to stock height with the added weight? 650lbs 700lbs? name brand?
Bilstein 5100 is a good option. Its adjustable, so you can put it at the lowest setting to keep it closer to stock. And for the springs I would go with OME 2885 or 2887. Your next option from there is the Bilstein 6112s. They're a bit beefier and come with springs already. Check out our website for some options and if you don't see something you want just shoot us an email and we can probably get it.
Would this be the recommendation for TRD Pro with the fox shocks or can they handle the weight of bumper and warn winch
What did you end up doing with the power steering line?
I bolted it back down in the factory location with the line on top of the control box for the winch
@yotaxpedition I'm about to install the same bumper but with the high bull bar and winch. I'm gonna try to find a way to keep my ss3 pod lights behind the grille using a universal mount. Wish me luck!
With all that weight, it must be a snail.
What size tires are those?

Quick question, what blades do you use on the air saw. I got some from Harbor Freight and either they suck or I suck, not sure which.
Well we use the Harbor Freight blades soooo....lol
lol welp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess there’s room for improvement
What hood protector is that ?
AVS High profile yotaxpedition.com/products/4runner-hood-bugflector-protector
I like the bumper but that's just crazy that you have to paint it yourself.
A lot of bumpers come that way. Or give you the option if you want it powder coated but obviously adds cost. Not sure why C4 doesn't offer that option. That's something we would like to offer for C4 products if ordered through us.
I want to pay someone that already knows how to install that stuff, but I am on Kauai. Not sure if anyone here can do the job.
For 50k why is there so much styrofoam in this truck?? The rear bumper has the same.
Every vehicle has foam in the bumpers to help with crash impact.
Can we all agree it’s “winch” not “wench” 😂
Knee slapper right there..
If you have to mod the shit before for installation. That just simply make it look like a shit product
It would be nice if you could demonetize the video. It makes it really hard to watch along while installing
