1. Protect the Toyota® 4Runner SUV's High Resale Value

The Toyota 4Runner has earned a Kelley Blue Book Top 10 Best Resale Value award - for the last 8 years in a row! This vehicle is known for maintaining its value and a custom bumper can help.

A vehicle can lose significant value when it gets damaged. Maybe you hit a deer that suddenly jumps into the road. Maybe you cruise over rocky terrain and unforeseen obstacles scrape the vehicle's exterior. In these cases, and many more, a custom bumper can prevent this value-decreasing damage.

A custom bumper helps protect vulnerable parts during a crash, such as the radiator, suspension system, and steering system. It also helps maximize the Toyota 4Runner SUV's ground clearance so you can travel over more obstacles without getting damaged.

In other words, a custom bumper helps prevent damage that hurts a vehicle's resale value. If you want to take advantage of the Toyota 4Runner SUV's high resale value, it's wise to invest in a custom bumper.

2. Take Advantage of the Toyota® 4Runner SUV's Performance Potential

The catchphrase of the Toyota 4Runner SUV is "captain of the off-road". These vehicles are made to conquer unpredictable terrain, but that terrain can also be quite unforgiving!

Out in nature, wildlife is much more common. You face higher odds of hitting an animal and facing vehicle damage.

Hazards are also much more common. Low-hanging branches, jagged rocks, hidden stumps, and other obstacles can be easy to miss...until they are denting your car.

With a custom bumper, you can enjoy valuable extra protection for your vehicle as you use it the way the Toyota 4Runner was intended!

3. Protect the Toyota® 4Runner SUV's Eye-Catching Aesthetic

The Toyota® 4Runner models are designed to turn heads. The current model comes in ten unique colors, which can be hard to match with a generic aftermarket accessory. Installing a custom bumper ensures that the upgrade perfectly matches the Toyota 4Runner SUV's iconic style, rather than serving as an unpleasant eyesore.
