Snowbound Customs Rear Hatch Bump Stop Replacement Set l 3rd Gen 96 - 02

Replace the Crusty Rear Hatch Bump Stops — And Make Room for Brackets 3D-printed TPU bump stops that are 3 mm shorter than factory, so your hatch closes properly even with a light or CB bracket fitted underneath. If you've added a rear-facing CB antenna mount, a chase light bracket, or any other mount that bolts to the factory bump-stop holes, you've probably found the rear hatch suddenly gets stiff to close — the bracket sits between the bump stop and the body, eating up your hatch travel. Snowbound's replacement bump stops fix it neatly: 3D-printed in TPU (a tough, rubber-like material), and intentionally 3 mm shorter than the factory rubber so the bracket thickness is absorbed. Your hatch closes the way it should again, and the bump stop still does its job. Each one has washers press-fit into the mounting holes for the same kind of load distribution you get from a factory bump stop — not just a printed part that'll crush over time. Buy a single or a pair: Single — grab one if you only need to replace the side that has the bracket fitted. Pair — replace both sides at once (recommended so they wear evenly). If you're fitting Snowbound's Rear Hatch Light Brackets, a pair of these comes included in that kit — grab these standalone if you're running a different bracket, replacing a lost one, or just refreshing brittle factory rubbers. Frequently asked questions Will they fit my truck? Made for the 3rd Gen 4Runner (1996–2002) rear hatch bump-stop locations. The JDM Hilux Surf uses a different rear hatch — these are intended for 4Runner bodies. Why 3 mm shorter than factory? To accommodate the typical thickness of a light bracket or CB mount fitted between the bump stop and the body. The 3 mm reduction keeps your hatch closing properly with brackets in place. What material are they? High-quality TPU — a flexible, tough thermoplastic that behaves a lot like the factory rubber but holds up better to UV and squashing.
