    Still researching rear bumpers so I can replace the butt ugly chrome, flimsy rear bumper that came on my 2017 ORSB.
    Looking for a direct bolt-on replacement that will work with my OEM Towing Package and doesn't require any alterations to my Taco or the bumper itself.
    Would like to have as many choices as possible so I could use all the help that I can get. So for all you guys and gals out there I would very much appreciate your input.
    *Direct bolt on, no alterations, and compatible with my Off Road Towing Pkg.
    One of the considerations is a rear bumper from K2 Motors. Anyone have any dealings with them, good or bad?
    Thanks folks.

    What about color matched bumper caps?

    I thought the chrome was ugly at first too and started hunting for painted bumper caps on ebay but then I don't know, they grew on me.

    Considered going that route but looking for something much more substantial as well as the possibility of being able to use a bumper jack should the need arise.
    Appreciate your input. :thumbsup:

    I was hoping it would grow on me too but it hasn't. Spending another $600 - ? not exactly making me feel warm and fuzzy but it's just too much chrome for me.
    Just a matter of my own personal preference. The smaller chrome accents like badges don't bother me much. I am thinking about derping the grill trim but it really doesn't bother me.
    I just think the black front make the rear chrome look out of place.
