Best steel bumper?

Looking for aftermarket bumpers.

Prefer steel, simple design, and a install that doesnt require cutting the oem front bumper cover. Do not need winch or lightbar cutouts.

What are best options? Unable to find many simple looking steel bumpers for 2016+.

Thanks

Someone say steel?

 

Got any pics of the c4 fab bumper? Any other options?

Thanks

Most steel bumpers that provide any significant protection from an animal or car require cutting off a lot of the front plastic bumper because of the design of the 2016+. I have the ARB summit bumper, imho best protection you can have. It is heavy though (170 pounds of steel) so I would suggest upgrading the suspension. Opted for the OME BP51s with Dakar leafs.

 

Personally I love @RelentlessFab bumpers. INCREDIBLE strength, as I have banged the hell out of mine and had no problems with it.

 

I'm also a fan of the @RelentlessFab armor. They have an awesome selection of bumpers for the 3rd gen.

not my cup of tea, but could be yours

 

I like the CBI off-road rear bumper : http://www.cbioffroadfab.com/products/3rd-gen-toyota-tacoma/t3-rear-bumper/

 

Ditto. I think they're the only one that doesnt require cutting and is a full replacement front bumper.

 

Relentless Fab! They do 20% off for thanksgiving to. I know that's a ways away but I plan on saving for one until then

 

Here are a few angles for you. Full replacement bumper. The only thing you have to cut is the end of the fender flare where it meets the new bumper. Can be purchased with or without tube guards. Can get it with or without lightbar cutout. Also factory fog lights can be re-used if you want them.

Expedition one is another bumper in which you don't need to cut

 

Their sliders are awesome. I definitely recommend getting them if you're able to!

 

There is a tax time GB running on SOS Concepts armor from @EddyRRT right now.

Why steel and not aluminum? That's a lot of extra weight.

 

That's a lot of extra protection.

 

From driving over a cliff? If you're smashing your front end into something that requires steel, chances are you're going to total your vehicle. The only drawback to aluminum is cost, but that is where fuel economy comes into play.
