Where are the winch bumpers?

what size is the light bar opening? im trying to determine whether a baja design S8 or ONx6 will fit best in that opening...

 

i know it houses a 20" light bar but i also hear its tight back there so some double stack LED bars wont fit

 

Any more pictures or details? I like how it has an overhang for mounting lights.

 

Yeah dude, check the thread for it here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/dobinsons-16-taco-front-winch-bumper.456675/

 

Looks great guys good work! Although I wonder if it just looks so good because it's on a black truck? Would really like to see it on another color before purchasing. I think it's perfect though. It sticks out some for protection but not too much. Very clean lines. Almost ARBish... which is a great thing. Again, good work guys!

Looks great. More pics of this truck!

 

Mounted a small stinger to the prototype dissent offroad bumper.

 

Can't really recommend the expedition one. A floor jack broke on me and i used a hi lift on the bumper and it flexed into the quarter panels. Causing the drivers side door to make a noise when opening and i believe the panels were moved because they dont line up with the bumper anymore.

 

Wow. That's a bummer. Did any of the bolts move? Just wondering, not to see if it loosened but more if the bolts held and the bumper moved anyway?

 

For those worried about cutting your bumper one VERY nice feature of the @Pelfreybilt is that it overlaps the cut vs. being under it. This way it hides the cut. That way even if you use to quote Tyler "a hot butter knife" to cut it, it won't show. And if you angle the cut down just slightly as you near the fender flare you can cut just under a bolt keeping the fender flare securely on. Such a well thought out design!

 

ARB one has hilift points for lifting.

 

Great for hiding a bad cut! Not so great if your in a collision! It's ideal to have a buffer for the bumper to bend or move before it contacts the body in the event of a collision.
Not saying this one is but I think a lot of bumpers I have seen on here will eventually be deamed damage multipliers as time goes on.
For example, the one posted above that caused damage just by simply using a highlift to raise the vehicle. This was most likley caused by frame to body movement and not from the actual bumper moving. These body's move and they move a lot! I have about a 5/8" gap where my bumper slides under the cut and when the truck is flexed out it still makes contact. Without propper clearance the bumper will contact the body and most likley cause damage.
hopfully I'm wrong but something to concider when buying a bumper.

 

Build is still very slowly in process so I don't have many pics but I snapped one for ya

 

I'll do a full write up on install when I get a chance soon. Definitely have some tips and good insight. Very happy with the product quality but found a few areas of improvement hardware and install wise

 

Watch out bambi

 

I think I wanna get one of these too! I like how with those bumpers, you don't have to trim your fender flares unlike the one from C4 fab.

 

I am pretty sure you have to trim fender flares on every one of these whether the bumper is cut or no-cut. I have yet to see on that doesn't require it, and can't imagine how they would avoid it.

 

That hoop is very strange.

 

I'm liking the RCI bumper, I really need the full hoops and it seems tough to pull off with the 3rd gens, imo

 

I went with the small center hoop from Expedition One
