    So I have been looking for a good Offroad bumper for 1st generation tacos that doesnt totally break the bank. Anywhere between $500-$1000. I have been looking on Autoanything.com but they only have one offroad bumper that doesnt really appeal to me. But I keep seeing great pictures on the forums here but not really any way to buy them. So if you guys could recommend some and may show some pics of your 1st gen offroading tacos I would greatly appreciate it. And if this is not posted in the appropriate place then please correct me cause this is my first post.

    Welcome to TW :) where are you located? I ask because there is one being sold locally in SO CAL for a great price.

    So your cheapest option would probably be TRAIL GEAR. They go for around $400-500 for the front and $400 for the rear. They often have deals and offer free shipping from certain vendors.

    Relentless fabrication is also having a sale right now with a $100 bucks off. They are awesome bumpers but pricey.

    Here is a thread for most 1st Gen bumpers that are offered.

    2. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bumpers-for-1st-gens.246413/

    Black Friday is just around the corner and a lot of companies have awesome sales if you want to wait for it. Good luck.

    Welcome to TacomaWorld!

    Take a look at this site's supporting vendors. Many fabricators are listed and hopefully you can find what you are looking for.

    Don't exclude buying used off another member. You can probably get a great bumper at a decent price. May take a while and some luck and persistence.

    First off... Welcome to TW!
    There are a bunch of bumper options for our trucks and prices can get high fast. I haven't really researched cost or even who make all the various bumper options since I plan to build my own. All Pro and Relentless seem to be names that come up often. Currently there is a group trying to get Demello to make a bumper. Search here and you will find the thread for that. Do you have an idea of what style you are looking for? Do you want a tube bumper or a plate bumper? Do you plan to mount a winch?

    I have a chassis unlimited bumper. Unlike trail gear, it's a hybrid bumper (half tube, half plate). 10% off with code "Facebook". Got mine for around 450 and free shipping (add 2$ to the order).

    I just got my bumper done from a local fabricator. Built it exactly how I wanted and the price was very fair.

    Those square lights look very nice. Are those flood/spot LED's or what?

    I like how they have 4 bolts going into each one, if I'm seeing that correctly
