    I like how much thought you put into your choice. And I am also split between the two. Maybe this made the decision easier for me

    Thinking Ill be going with this bumper in a few months (insain Fab one). Somehow I feel like the bumper with the protection bars around the grill and lights make it stick out to much. To me this bumper really tones down the front end, and give you all the added features (Has a version with winch mount, since in other picture the slot under the light)

    I'm with you, this one is my favorite. Originally I really liked the Insain bumper on the Toytec SEMA truck but wanted a little bump out and hoop for added protection. The CBI version is basically that. Plus I just saw they made an aluminum version for the 2016 Overland Expedition Tacoma.

    Did you get yours in yet? Excited to see your pics.

    I do not like the big "D O" Cut out on Demello off-road front bumper. sure like the idea of aluminum And think I like the CBI or the expedition one in aluminum ! . It might get my top vote
    I'll have to look into it that's very interesting

    CBI just updated their website! They now show their T3 front bumper in 3 styles: 1) with no hoop 2) with a small hoop for grille protection and 3) with full hoop & light protection. They also say they will make it in steel or aluminum (+$200). They also now say that it has an internal mount for a 20" single row light bar and can accept the factory fog lights as well, which wasn't clear in previous descriptions

    http://www.cbioffroadfab.com/products/3rd-gen-toyota-tacoma/

    They also have 2 different T3 rear bumpers to choose from that look very nice as well. I may just have to make a trip to Idaho soon...not sure I can resist.

    I love the bumper built by insain fab. I emailed them the other day to see if they were going to offer a winch mount for it but I haven't heard from them

    The Insain bumper has a spot for a winch now. Check out posts 110 and 112 of this thread for pics. The prototype on the Toytec SEMA truck didn't have it.

    Looks pretty dang good. I think I like the flat top or the small center hoop a little better. Gotta wait and see a finished center hoop to make a decision.

    On the CBI bumpers does anybody know what the purpose of the removable plate section where the fairlead mount is for? Is it large enough to remove install the winch?(it doesnt look like it) or is it for cleaning/maintinence purposes
