3rd Gen REAR Bumper Thread (Feb 2024 Update)

Excuse my ignorance, but is there a company that makes non high-clearance bumpers with the swing out?

I’d like to have the option to have my spare on the back of my rig, but I don’t plan on a front bumper (maybe a lo pro).

 

Most companies that I’ve seen offer both a standard and high clearance version rear bumper with a swing out.

Might want to contact them. They're working on a swing out for their bumper. Not high clearance but definitely more clearance than stock.

 

I know I had the option to get a swing out on the CBI T3, but I made the poor decision of not getting it.

 

What brand is this?

 

The bumper is by Addictive Desert Designs. It utilizes the factory parking assist sensors, factory trailer plug and factory license plate lights. Ithas cut outs for two Baja Designs off roadlights. It attaches to the frame and to the factory tow hitch.

 

Very nice! That looks pretty sharp.

 

Thank you! Not many out there, just came out recently.

 

Arc One industries - Made in Canada. Will post more once it’s painted and finished.

 

For those of you with HC bumpers, did you or are you planning to reroute your exhaust? Just curious if it's something I should be considering.

 

Most just cut it above the axle

 

I really like this one ^

Anyone have experience with this one as well?

Really?

 

That ADD one is the one @Arrieta578 above posted. ADD are very nicely made, I put one of their front bumpers on my wife’s JLUR and I’m very happy with it. They also are very popular in the Raptor crowd.

 

Lol, sorry. I got to page 16 and hadn't seen it. I get tired of going through 30 pages etc within threads on here. It was the favorite one I had found so far until I saw the one I quoted.

 

Best Looking 3rd gen bumper! Did you compare the difference in weight between ADD and stock?

 

I did not. I don't remember it being super hear or lowering the truck any... having said that, both the front and rear bumpers on the Tacoma are complete JUNK. When I took them apart, I couldn't believe how light weight, thin, and flimsy they are. They might help in an engineered crash test, but they would hold up to hitting a shopping cart at 10mph without cause thousands of dollars worth of damage.

If you own a truck, my thinking is you need real metal bumpers.

 

Is there an option for the clevis hooks? I'm guessing backing into the garage would be a nightmare.

 

If you look at the side shot, the clevis hooks don't stick out more than the trailer hitch or the bottom of the bumper. Its a really tightly designed bumper...
