aftermarket bumpers... a little fugly?

I just want a Tubed Baja Bumper...then i'm gonna have the Toyota Logo with horns plasma cut into the skid

 

I saw a tube bumper @ da bolsa chica meet (I think) that had plates connecting the triangled tubes, it was kinda like a mesh but had very small holes. Couldn't see through it unless you were right up on it. Like a tube plate hybrid. Plate bumpers just look to bulky and heavy for the most part. They do look better on 2nd gens though. Just my 2 cents.

 

Well this is what I thought of the stock Tacoma bumper on my truck, snip,snip, here snip.snip. there . All it took was a pair of left angle/right angle tin snips. it doesn't look good, it doesn't look bad, it looks different & for now that works for me !!

 

I think some of them are pretty ugly. I think RELENTLESS FAB bumpers are badass tho! I'll be going that route his are sick as hell.

 

thats nice who makes it

 

That's a sweet looking 4Runner, minus the RV ladder on the back. WTF? Maybe the owner is short?

 

Depending on the style I don't think so.

How else would you get all that stuff off the roof rack? That wheel & those gas cans full of fuel would be pretty heavy to remove.

 

I understand the function, but a little ugly IMO.

And being 6'2 like I am I think standing on the bumper (side or rear) would get me up high enough to reach those gas cans.

But it does make me miss my lifted 89 4Runner.

 

I don't see it...........ok, maybe the hood scoop.

 

I don't like they way they look either, but when you figure in the functionality, it has a certain nerdy girl with glasses sex appeal, that you say you sholdn't but you do any way.

Its so naughty!

BTW Brandon @ Avid emailed me back and he for sure can build us some tube bumpers!
