Hey guys I am going to purchase an aluminum off road bumper for my 01 Taco and I'm torn between the Aluminess and the Relentless (if you know of others please let me know!). I chose aluminum due to weight/ fuel economy concerns and corrosion resistance. The prices are comparable (~1,179 for Relentless and 1,395 for Aluminess. I am just trying to weigh the pro's and con's of each. If you have any experience with either please let me know. Also, are aluminum headlight/ brush guards even worth it? I feel like they would be ok at deflecting branches but worthless if striking a deer a 65 mph compared to steel tubing!
