Bumper caps.

Can you explain why? Not calling you out just more curious. I built my own swingout off of an All Pro bumper on my second gen and wanted to attempt the same when I buy a bumper for my 3rd gen. This seemed promising and I was thinking if it can be used for recovery it must be pretty strong and may support a swingout as well.

 

Plenty strong enough, just not really the profile for a clean swing out design.
I typically try to incorporate my swing out hinged into the bumper on my dual swing out bumpers, this would have to bolt on the outside of the bumper to work. I also try to incorporate slam latches, stops, and gas struts.
This is not really designed for all that.
I'm sure a simple diy swing out could be attached fairly easily though.

 

I can understand what you meant now, I can tell by your work that you take pride in what you do and don’t half ass it. I would love this as an option to not have to buy a full bumper and also keep the stock tow hitch, I’m a light off-roader and probably don’t need a full bumper anyways. I don’t mind diy’ing something but it’d have to be steel, I’m not ready to weld aluminum yet (also I know an aluminum swingout is a no go).

 

I stopped by a local dealer inquiring about having the chrome bumper caps painted Quicksand. The guy at the shop refused, saying it was too difficult to get paint to stick to the chrome finish. However, he told me he could paint unfinished/paint-ready bumper caps.

 

My SR5 XP has chrome tail too, can you just buy color replacement caps?

 

No, you can’t. Toyota only sells the caps in black and chrome. You can purchase black caps and paint them. Another option is to purchase BumperShellz by @eCOOL1.

Appreciate the the info!!! Anyone have a set of super white and happy with the add. I’ll probably order a set. If anyone has pics and has had them for a while and they are holding up let me know.

 

Any update on the Dissent caps? Available for purchase, and any powder coated pics?

 

Dissent aluminum wings

 

How much did they run? I heard they arent cheap

Plastic “bumper” didn’t protect my truck. Just bent in and damaged my rear driver fender so I removed that crap. Worth it to me.

 

Oh definitely beats running plastic back there.

 

Worth it in my opinion. I will eventually be getting these.

 

Looks nice, did you have to modify the center OEM piece for clearance for the tow hooks?

 

No its all plug and play. Very well designed
