Cheap Bumpers on eBay!!

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.

 

And thats where the problem lies. Our frames are weak as hell.

 

What lol

 

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)

 

I wonder how is the powder coat holding up as of now?

 

Actually really well, the crinkle coat I was legitimately worried about but it's fine

 

What was the price originall?

 

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.

Coot

 

All about that BruteForce man, I am about to hop on that train

Or trailgear if you want another cheap option

 

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.

 

Hats off to you for going through all those pages, i barely make it past one and im done

 

Just found this thread and wow. Hours of entertainment. Can any one tell me how the bumpers worked out?

 

Not @ $549.00 that's no good!

 

In a nutshell they're poo poo.

 

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 +.

 

all you guys complaining about this being a stolen design go check out the following link and whine about how its a replica of CBI's design.
