    looking to get the C4 fab lopro front bumper for my taco. Couple questions if anyone has any experience;

    1) what winches fit the best?
    2) how much of a PITA are they to remove after initial install to add a winch or light bar?

    I have King Coilovers and currently have the “Baja rake”.. wondering how much this amount of weight will bring the front end down?

    TIA!

    I will know soon enough. Been waiting weeks for my bumper and got a great deal on Warn 10k synthetic winch.

    Purchased the solenoid pack replicator plate as it appears to interfere with mounting.

    This is the hybrid bumper from C4 and I couldn't have done it without extra hands. It's relatively easy to install following the YouTube installment video. Only problem is, depending on which winch you use, you'll have to make some modifications to the hood latch bracket or crossmember in front of the radiator so the winch box can fit.

    Good look. By chance, do you have a pic directly towards the front? Or any other views? Looking to upgrade to same bumper in near future and am curious to see how it looks with stock wheels setup.

    I just got mine powder coated and got it back today. Here's how she looks off the truck.

    Down the road, I will be getting new rock sliders and rear bumper which I will have powder coated the same color. In addition, just want to be different from all the normal black color that everyone resorts to doing.
