    On your website, I don't have the option of deleting the grille hoop. I would prefer a basic powdercoated bumper with no hoops, headlights or grille.

    Drive down to the shop and pick it up after your trip. Or maybe there’s someone who can bring it closer for you. You seem like a popular guy Charlie. Tag a friend to help you out.

    Yea I noticed that. We can just send you an invoice for the right version. I’ve been messing with the site trying to get that fixed but it’s beomg a pain right now.

    Also, I know Maryland does not have safety inspections...

    Have any customers reported not being able to pass their state's safety inspections for any reason after installing a Mobtown bumper?

    There are several people up your way running our bumpers. I haven’t heard anything about it.

    Also, I'm not driving my Taco to NC. I'm going with my parents and I don't know how much space we will have in my dad's 2013 Honda Pilot...

    It’s gotta roof rack!

    But seriously. We have people come down often from your area. I’m sure someone will be willing to bring it back.

    My dad is going to be helping out with the cost, so I've still got to discuss it with him. Based on what he's said, I think he's on board with at least the front bumper.

    If you come pick it up I’ll throw it on no charge. I can swap a front bumper out literally in 15 minutes if we aren’t doing lights and a winch.

    In that case I'll have to bring the Tacoma. If my dad gets onboard with it, I'm thinking it'll be sometime in July.

    My dad is still on the fence. I can't afford a $1,200 bumper right now. I am going to get the dent fixed for sure, but I might have to wait until later this year to get the bumper if I choose to do so. I definitely want a Mobtown bumper for my truck though.

    So, as a Pennsylvania resident I can't bypass the tax? Not that it particularly matters anyway, because PA sales tax is 6% as well...

    No, no one can no matter where you live. It’s no different than walking into a store in MD to purchase a product. The state charges us the 6% so we charge the customer the 6%.
