Warn Semi Hidden winch bumper (New for 3rd gen Tacoma)

The part number at summit matches the warn part number. It's just the bumper.

 

Just curious why on the PDF it says "Hacksaw Blade with Handle (fine tooth)" under tool's required - which is probably for the black plastic air deflector piece below **guessing** so would an off-road or pro not have any cutting whatsoever?

 

Please post a few pics I'm eager to see your build come together

 

Check back here next weekend.

 

I think all three, SSO, SOS & Warn, are quality products. I have a SSO bumper installed on my truck. I went with SSO because you can customize your order. Mine is powder coated, no hoop, no light cut out and has cut outs for winch access. I was 758.20 including shipping to WA state using the TW group buy, not bad. Then I was lucky enough to get another 100 off through the drawing SSO does for a certain number of buyers. Again I don't think we can go wrong whose we install, we will have something that we like and will help us or somebody else out of a bind. If a winch is install, like I did.

 

I’m very interested in the Warn bumper.

For anyone that has it/ordered it: Does it seem possible to mount 2 circle or square fog lights on it (not a light bar)? Are there holes already up there?

 

From what I can see there are no holes, but you can use tube bar mounts for lights and I plan to get round of road lights.

 

I ordered the

$856 Warn 100044 Semi-Hidden Mid-Frame Winch Mount Kit for Toyota Tacoma (2016-2018) , GRAY

Warn 100044 from Summit last Thursday, Shipping was free with expected ship date of Feb 13. I already have a light bar mounted behind lower grill and appears I can retain same mounting position after looking at the install instructions from Warn. Looking forward to having some front-end protection/D ring mounts w/o having a large oversize front bumper.

 

Any word if these work with the adaptive cruise control on the 2018s? The tube may interfere with the radar behind the front grille emblem. I called warn and the were not sure yet...

 

My Warn semi hidden winch mount and VR10 winch arrived in Whitehorse, Yukon yesterday. Cutting it close! I'm flying up there tomorrow to get it. I asked the Toyota dealer in Whitehorse if it looked like it would interfere with the sensor in the grill and he said, "What sensor?" When I described the adaptive cruise control he said, "Oh, I dunno but using cruise control up here is not recommended." This is gonna be great!

 

For those wondering if cutting is required....according to the Warn's post on ExpeditionPortal

Warn semi hidden mounted but I don't know about the cruise control yet

 

Any cutting? As in can you go back to stock?

 

That looks great! Do you mind me asking how many Canadian pesos it cost you?

 

That looks great!

 

I was quoted right at 1000$ and change.

 

Looks great. Did you mount the winch to the bumper then the bumper on the truck, or follow the instructions and slip the winch in after the bumper was on?

 

It looks better in person. No cutting and they say cruise control works but there is way too much ice to try it.

 

That looks awesome
