Warn Semi Hidden winch bumper (New for 3rd gen Tacoma)

Any updates on this? I have a 2018 TRD Pro with TSS and I am really curious to know if this will work?

Barring that, I think I'm leaning towards cutting my bumper for a C4 or SSO.

 

Anyone aware of any discounts on the Warn bumpers right now? I saw some folks paying around $600 for it, I'd love to find a deal like that. Thanks!

 

Summit racing has deals sometimes on their homepage for $50 off. Also, eBay has their 15% off everything sale (max $100 discount) about every 1-2 months, may want to get one from eBay on next sale.

Where are you guys mounting the "control box" and how do you get to it when you need to plug in the control and winch out? Do you have to lift the hood?

 

Mount it anywhere, you’re getting out of the truck to work the winch, lifting the hood shouldn’t be an issue

 

Wireless winch, no plugs to deal with. The Smittybuilt I’m getting comes wireless but you can add a plug to about any of them to make em wireless.

 

It mounts to the frame with 6 bolts, 3 each side and replaces the aluminum crash gaurd in the picture.

I’ve already used it with the winch to move several thousand pound logs, it’s not coming off.

 

Is there a cutout you can reach thru to move the engage/disengage lever? it is not obvious in the photos.

 

Right here...

 

There is actually two more small brackets underneath on the Warn that I don’t have pics of. But, they’re not super heavy like the mounting plates to the frame.

 

I just ordered this bumper and a Smitty Built x20 with synthetic line. Excited for it to get here.

 

Still waiting for a Pro grille compliant version

<edit> with TSS

 

I’ve got that setup, works great.

 

Sorry, should have said "with TSS"... unless you have that working.

 

I have a 2017 no TSS. Not sure if the Warn will work with 2018+

 

We need a TSS version....

 

A couple of us have reached out to warn directly. Please add your name to that list.

It turns out they actually moved the hoop to accommodate the TSS in non-pro grilles. Now the pro grilles don’t work.

I think if there’s enough interest shown, they might do a hoopless or lowered version. But then again, my glasses are rose colored.

 

Well shit... bumper showed up, and it was damaged. Didn't even notice it until I pulled the truck apart and tried to install. When I did it seemed like it was too tight, side to side. Scratched the shit out of the sides of the painted plastic bumper, finally got it lined up with the bolt holes and then noticed the bent and broken weld. Looks like it was dropped on its side and badly bent. Fuck.

 

Mines been on for a month. Sturdy as hell and under no strain when winching. Warn VR10 underneath. Install was pretty straightforward, but I recommend a second set of hands. Was a pain in the ass for 1 person.

 

Why O Why did they put that stinger on it? Blocks the radar and looks 90s imho.
