    Wow that's crazy, I purchased mine though one of their vendors so maybe that had something to do with a quicker turn around :notsure:

    I went through vendor as well, but got a high clearance rear at the same time. Maybe that stretched out the wait.

    From my perspective, the prominence of the stealth seems to flows better with large (35") tires, while the T3 would look good on any truck. I like both but would lean towards the CBI if I was in the market.

    I definitely considered the CBI, but ultimately went with Relenless. My stealth should be here in the next 3-4 weeks or so.

    I wish someone made one that sits a bit higher. I would be willing to cut the grill to make this possible. Because the front of our trucks look so bulky a steel bumper on our trucks looks like the Tacoma burped a metal bumper.

    If I ever have time (school, a toddler, and a newborn) I'll build one that sits higher and more flush with the front of the truck.

    Yeah I’ve always wished one could go up the headlights like this relentless 4Runner bumper.
    I imagine the layout of the new front end is preventing these tall and steep designs.

    Nice looking truck but I don’t like the bumper.

    This is the reason why. CE11DA5C-4412-4416-9D57-5FA91D4B5672.jpg

    The only issue I have with the CBI is the bull bar blocking the TSS in the Pro Grille, but I guess that issue can be resolved with a higher bar or removing the bar altogether.

    Other than that potentially fatal flaw, it's definitely a shit-hot bumper.
