    A bumper made of poorly manufactured chemically flawed steel and backyard bubblegum welds with minimal penetration is good enough for 99.99% of all trail work in a Tacoma.

    THe more likely scenario is smashing into another vehicle, not a rock. Of course thats a scenario we dont want another TW member to go through just so we can see how well the bumper holds up.

    True. But a bumper is only as strong as the underlying components.

    The Frame, i believe is made up of 15 different sections. I just got rear ended by a prius and it bent a crush zone in the back and under the bed. Granted he did hit my hitch and bent it down which did most of the damage. It's on the frame rack as we speak (or read) 20160929_181617.jpg 20160930_085538.jpg 20160929_181203.jpg 20160930_112849.jpg

    To those looking for pics of this bumper, I combed through all 240 pages and there's only about 3 people who posted pic of these bumpers. The rest of the post is hijackers and jibber jabbash about how it looks like All Pro and what their take on it is. What a waste of time.
    So to make a condense version ...
    1. It will not fit 2012+ due to AC line.
    2. besides the packaging for shipping, its a good buy, if it doesn't come damage.

    Good luck reading.

    Props to you for making that sacrifice. Glad to know this bumper wont even work for my truck. Back to looking at the fab fours.

    Thats pretty kick ass too. I would of jumped on a prerunner front bumper, but we know that is still local sales only.

    There's a whole summary in post #2 with pictures. Yes these will work on 12+ with modification to the bumper (cutting a notch for the AC line). It's still a viable option for someone looking for a cheap bumper, but I wouldn't run it on a 12+ due to being too tight to the body.

    Lots of people on here dissing a product that actually is a good deal. and yes, I have one on my 12+. it took 5 minutes with a grinder to make it work, no big deal.... also i challenge any other company to ship a bumper as fast as mine came. 3 days after the order it was on my door step. Everywhere else has lead times of 1month +.
