    if you were to put a HD front bumper on a reg cab 2.7l tacoma do yall think it would bogg the motor down?? also do you think it would make the tires wear more in the front?

    will that lil 4banger push a big bumper around??? haha:confused:

    I have just about the most heavy duty bumper you can buy on my 2.7. Arb bull bar. It won't make your tires wear if you upgrade the front suspension to handle the load, or the front end will sag. As far as bogging the motor down, mostly tires and rims effect this, but adding weight does come into play. I have a HD rear bumper as well.

    That's a really good looking truck you got there. What suspensions upgrades do you have to handle the load??

    Thanks man, Hard to tell in these pictures because the truck was loaded with gear for a weeklong trip, but I have Bilstein 5100's with Old Man Emu 881's Coils, and a Add a leaf in the rear.
