    1st Gen Tundra and 2nd gen Tacomas are almost identical minus the v8. @Blender Build is special like mine, but way better.

    I have 2nd and 3rd Gen front Bump stops!!! Well, at least some Beta sets!! Looking like these will be for sale towards the end of July. Ill be posting in the 2nd and 3rd gen threads once they are ready. Just wanted for you guys to have an update.

    Beta testing is going much faster after figuring out the 1st gen Taco's bump stops.

    I also have a prototype REAR Bump stop that fits 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen Tacoma's. I will be Beta testing very soon.

    Here is the production version of V2 all cleaned up and ready to ship. This has the 3/16" steel base which makes these bump stops durable.

    What do you guys think about how the final product looks??

    Fox 2.5 RR front, 2.0 RR rear from AccuTune Offroad, OME Dakar Leafs, Camburg Uniball UCA's, CBI Offroad Bolt on Sliders w/kickout, Scangauge II Uniden Bearcat 880 w/ 3' Firestick on CBI antenna mount B&M Trans Cooler
    So I recently added some Fox 2.5's in the front and 2.0's in the rear with Dakar springs, so am lifted a few inches. I know I am supposed to need these, I've never driven hard enough to bottom out the fronts. How necessary are these for a tame driver? Also, I really need new bump stops in the rear. I have a U bolt flip kit on my 1st Gen. Any way you would consider making rears also?

    Looks like a nice product to me! What are your thoughts about that inner hole packing full of mud/grime and grit over time?

    I am currently in R&D for Tacoma rear bump stops. I'm not sure that you would need them if your not flexing on trails or doing any higher speed pre-running.

    Bump stops simply prevent hard bottom outs once there is no more upstroke in your suspension.
