Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me identify the winch bar that's in the attached
pic. They are pretty common (I think) on Hiluxs around the place, so hopefully it wont be too difficuilt.
More specifically, I'm trying to find out if it'll fit on my 4Runner (1990, IFS). The Hilux in the
pic is a 99 dual cab IFS. Hopefully I can identify the bar then I'll be able to find out if it'll fit!
Cheers,
Jack

Thanks guys - I think I've figured it out. As someone mentioned, TJM made some bars for Toyota that were then sold as factory standard gear. This is why the bar looks very similar to some of the earlier TJM bars that are around (as people have pointed out, see attached
pic for those who are interested), but it also explains why there's no TJM branding on it.
I am still not sure about the fitting though - the TJM brochures claim that they have one range of accessories (bars, side rails etc) that will fit all hiluxes (and I assume runners) from 1989 through to 2002. I will give my local store a ring in the morning and see what they reckon, but you may
well be right - the chassis width could be different post 96. Thanks for the help :-)
