CBI T3 Push Bar

Thanks for the input.

 

Mine is from AVID

 

I like it. Its totally solid, has bumped against a couple trees and berms, and still solid. I'm looking at the winch mount from them now - the entire thing will be super low profile, and essentially bolt on. CBI stated they also have a cut out for the winch lead (or they could make one - I don't recall what they said - wife has the kibosh on new stuff at the moment!), so it seems like a winner to me. Also want some suspension work to hold the additional few hundred pounds at some point going forward.

 

I just can't cut my truck so may go that route after the holidays. Thanks

 

Let me know when your re-booting...

 

Anyone know if the CBI push bar would still allow for running a Cali-Raised LED lower bumper 32” light bar? It’s the light bar that sits behind the bumper just above the lower bumper panel and below the grill. Wondering if the pushbar would obstruct the light as I’ve already got this lightbar installed.

 

@CBI Offroad Fab maybe you could answer the above question? ^^^^

 

More than likely it will at least partially obstruct the light. The top of the guard sits just above the bottom of your light.

 

Okay good to know. Thanks for the quick response!

 

Also - if you look at the pics in my OP - the one shows the top support runs through the grill just about the end of your light bar. Not sure how that light bar is attached, but might even have to adjust that light bar mount to allow the Push Bar mount to get through the grill. That said, also note that the Push Bar has mounting holes on top, so you could likely remount the Cali light bar onto the Push Bar without much effort.

 

I’m definitely considering running the light bar on the push bar itself. I prefer the hidden lights for anti-theft reasons but it’s definitely not a deal breaker. Are you still running your taco with the push bar? Would you recommend it? Looking for actual bumper protection (not a bull bar) with potential means for light attachment and that looks more aggressive.

OH also, do you have your front plate mounted to it? I’ve only been able to find one photo of this push bar with a license plate on it and you can’t even tell how it mounts/how it looks because the OP completely blurred out the plate lol. My state requires a front plate at all times

 

I have replaced the push bar with a total bumper replacement, but otherwise loved the push bar. As for the front plate, I went to NAPA and got an "L" shaped license plate bracket and mounted it driver's side on the end of the platform on the push bar. I sold the push bar, so don't have any more pictures of it - sorry can't be much more help!

 

@khamil4 - I’m seriously debating the push bar before going full bumper now was well. Thanks for the input. Did you get a “color choice”? I’ve seen a couple photos of a quicksand Tacoma that had the front plate of the push bar color matched to the truck... debating on doing the same, my truck is cement. Idk what would look best.

@CBI Offroad Fab maybe I should just ask you, do you guys offer a color matched front plate for the T3 push bar? I’ve seen the quicksand truck with the color match. 1 more thing, do you by chance have a video of this install? I was browsing your YouTube channel w/ no luck.

 

We do not send out the center plate color matched but you can paint it directly over the powder coat and it works well. That is what we have done with our vehicles in the past and what we have recommended to other customers too. Many paint shops will mix a color matched paint in a spray can to make it easy!

 

Looks clean! Gotta love CBI quality!

 

Cbi if I have the t3 push bar and want to add the hidden winch mount do you sell the center plate for winch accommodations separately?

 

That looks good man! About how much did that run you with shipping and everything?

 

Does anyone know? I email cbi but have not got an answer

 

Anything worth doing is worth doing right the first time :
