# C4 Fabrication

> C4 Fabrication designs and manufactures premium aftermarket off-road armor and accessories for Toyota and Lexus platforms, with a focused catalog covering Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, FJ Cruiser, and Lexus GX. The product line includes front and rear bumpers, rock sliders, skid plates (front, transfer case, transmission, rear differential), spare tire carriers, jerry can carriers, MaxTrax mounts, MOLLE panels, lighting, winches, and recovery accessories. All products are designed in-house, CNC plasma-cut and laser-cut from American steel, and 100% manufactured in the USA. Founded in Sturgis, South Dakota by Caleb Rupp, C4 now operates out of Chandler, Arizona. Caleb Rupp remains hands-on with new product development and marketing. C4 sits in the premium tier of the Toyota off-road armor market — known for clean factory-integrated styling, heavy-gauge steel construction (3/16" P&O steel, 1/4" mounting plates, 3/4" D-ring tabs), and innovation in high-clearance Lo-Pro and Rock Runner bumper designs.

## Bumper line overview

C4 organizes front bumpers into four named designs, each engineered around a different use case. All bumpers are made from 3/16" laser-cut P&O steel with 1/4" thick mounting plates and 3/4" fully welded D-ring tabs:

Best for overlanders and extended trail trips.
- [Hybrid Front Bumpers](https://c4fabrication.com/collections/off-road-bumpers): Full-width center plate with sleek tube-style wings. Lighter and more customizable than the Overland, with multiple light pod mounting tabs on each wing. Available with low or mid-height hoops. Tacoma version $1,454+, 4Runner version $1,745+.
