1st Gen. Bumpers

Hey guys, I'm looking in to getting front and rear off-road plate bumpers for my 03 Tacoma.
I was looking for some suggestions for brands that I should go with besides ARB. I really like the bumpers from Relentless Fabrication, but they have 6 month wait times right now.
Any pictures or suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks guys.

 

6 mo wait time? Relative to many others that should be expected

 

I did find one guy in Redding who can have a bumper made in a week. I haven't done a whole lot of research, just figured this would be a good starting point.

 

It took only 2 weeks to get my CBI rear bumper. Would have preferred the Relentless design, but I wanted to wheel THIS YEAR. Very happy with it.

 

I got the Northwest Trail Innovation do it your self plate front bumper. Corey is an awesome guy and has a great design. I ordered mine on a Friday and got it the next Friday. Only bumper company I tell anyone to go to now. Also just ordered another bumper from him for my dad's jeep. Great price too. Check it out.

 

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

 

Just ordered the rear plate bumper from Corey at NWTI. I'm super stoked!

 

The wait is worth it

 

Fwiw I really like my ARB..

buuuut why not get a DIY kit from Relentless and have someone local weld it for ya?

 

That's something that I've been considering. Just gotta figure out what a welder around here would charge me.

 

Haha sick truck man! Love the headlights too.
I might just wait it out, their bumpers are super sweet.

 

Thanks man!

 

The relentless bumper design is bad ass. I bought the "roll your own" kit from them and did all the welding myself. They are really tough bumpers, but a real pain to put together. The welder/fabricator that you choose will need to use your truck in order to weld it together and have everything come out symmetrical. The DIY kit isn't a simple, just start welding pieces together type kit. It took me 3 weeks working 3-4hrs after work most days. Lots of grinding, trial and error and welding. I can honestly believe that the wait time is 6 months. But once you get it, you will have one of the most badass bumpers available. I added the lights.

 

Is that a Relentless bumper? Do you have any more photos? Looks great!

 

Yeah it is! Here are some more pics

Got this welded and mounted. Corey at NWTI was great and super helpful!

 

Relentless DIY kit. Mock up and tack took 3 hours. Filling and grinding and stitch welding took another 5. Hardest part is honestly going to be the painting and lining, which is happening tomorrow.

 

Hey come join us in the Ohio Thread, I really Like that rear bumper as well! How much did that set you back, roughly?

 

Just got my front tact starting rear this weekend
