    I want to know if anyone has some feedback on the body armor front bumper for the Tacoma? It seems affordable compared to some others so It is in the running to replace the OE bumper...

    They are cheap because you don't very many of them. Those bumpers are hideous.

    ^^ you don't *see* very many... ? Are you getting at a supply/demand argument there?

    I like the ROAD ARMOR bumpers myself (which is what I thought you were calling hideous at first).

    For the price, the body armor bumpers don't look too bad.... If I could afford a road armor bumper that would be the one I'd go with, but they are too pricey for my budget

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    They ARE cheap b/c of sheer ugliness and the fact that they only have a 3/16" frame and 1/8" outer plate.

    Road Armor is hideous as well, but at least they are 1/4" and 3/16" respectively. Not to mention EXTREMELY overpriced for the patchwork front bumper.

    I was saying they are ugly as all get out. You don't see many of them because no one buys them because they are ugly. The pic above (which doesnt look bad color matched)is the first one I've seen outside of their stock photos.
