The factory front frame plates on the 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner are known to be weak, which makes bolting a heavy aftermarket bumper to them – and using it as a recovery point – a real risk. These Artec Front Frame Gussets brace and reinforce that area so you can mount a winch bumper and pull off it with confidence.
Key Features

- CNC laser cut from 3/16" steel and CNC formed for high strength and a tight fit
- Designed from 3D metrology-grade laser scans of the Toyota frame for ultra-precise fitment
- Zinc plated for corrosion resistance
- Mounting hardware included
- Made in the USA
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the 5th Generation Toyota 4Runner (2010-present). Intended to strengthen the front frame horns so an aftermarket front bumper can serve as a genuine recovery point. A natural companion to a winch-capable bumper such as the Artec 4Runner 5G Venture Bumper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need frame gussets on my 4Runner?
The 5th Gen 4Runner's factory front frame plates are relatively thin and can flex or deform under recovery loads. These gussets add bracing so a bolted-on aftermarket bumper can be trusted as a recovery point.
Which 4Runner do they fit?
The 5th Generation Toyota 4Runner (2010-present).
Do these need to be welded on?
They install with the included hardware to reinforce the factory plates; refer to the Artec install guide for your specific bumper combination.
Will they rust?
They are zinc plated for corrosion resistance, which helps them hold up in the harsh underbody environment.
