Front Bumper protection??

I have a 2009 DCLB that I love the look of my stock front bumper/grill. I would like to add some protection to the front of my truck but dont want to change the look of the front of the truck much. Anyone out there with a aftermarket bumper or grill guard that works but doesnt change the look alot? Post any pictures you have of your bumpers or grill guards (picture below for reference of my rig)

 

thank you i did google this...was hoping for some real world experience from people on here

 

Check out Avid Offroad's front bumper guard. A lot stouter than a brushguard/bull bar and you don't have to ditch the full front bumper. I'm not certain on how they mount to the truck, but from what I've seen they're pretty sturdy.

 

Those aren’t going to provide any real protection. Replace the factory bumper with steel.

 

All of those bumper "guards" add very little in terms of protection. They're likely to cause more damage in a collision than not having one...

You're probably looking for something like the US Off Road winch mount bumper: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/us-off-road-in-bumper-winch-mounts.414035/

 

i like that look...wander if they make one for a 2nd gen

 

Sure do - https://www.usoffroad.us/store/bump...ma-2005-2011/tacoma-05-11-winch-mount-bumper/

 

One of the first mods on my truck...love it, though no collision experience with it

 

EBAY bumper FTW!!! It’s low profile for a plate bumper an solid. Very affordable as well plus free shipping.
