    I'm not much of a fan of tube bumpers it think they expose to much of the front end. But the plate bumpers I love, not really all of them but most there is some that look funny but I do have to say the relentless fab bumper's are by far my favorite and I will be ordering one for my rig as soon as I come up with the extra funds.

    That tacoma should either be BSP or stop getting in fights and taking shots to the jaw.

    Bumpers like that only belong on full sized trucks. IMO I think they look retarded on Mid size trucks.

    While functional I think all except the Allpro plate bumper looks goods. ARB one is terrible sticks out too far from the truck, Relentless's are good though, but the fit (133ytaco's) drives me crazy.

    I absolutely hate all tube bumpers... especially the baja, allpro, and most the LT company ones. I think they expose to much of the truck and just look terrible.

    You talking about the shockworcks one? MY friend has one and it looks great and built like a tank... In my opion yes way over priced but looks the best i would never buy one...

    I would not buy my Baja bumper from Camburg i just was using it as a pic example...

    I think it really depends on the build you have a trail rig Plate all the way...

    Prerunner, Long Travel truck tube bumper it is...

    It just depends on your build...
