    It is a bit bigger since it has bull bars and the ones that you linked dont have bull bars but I would consider it a small price to pay for safety, it is a front bumper that is being replaced after all not a beauty contest. Everyone has their own taste though :) its best to go with the design that you find the most attractive since it is your truck.

    Edit: Btw that side rails that they show on their picture are optional, those arent required.

    Yeah agreed. I’m just indecisive when it comes to spending over a thousand of dollars. Lol. Should of seen me on making a decision for a lift kit lol.

    What links don’t have bull bars ? Just curious.

    Right at 9 weeks when the posted wait time was 12+ weeks. I’ve ordered all my armor from CBI, the build quality is top notch. They get a bad wrap for the amount of time some have waited but I’ve never experienced that first hand, everything has been on time and on point.

    These are their 3rd gen Tacoma products: https://arbusa.com/toyota-tacoma-2016-on

    It looks like they only had the one with the bull bars for the 3rd gen, they have other designs in the middle of this page: https://arbusa.com/bumpers-protecti...vily in,compatible bumper and mounting system but it looks like their for other vehicles.

    One other thing that I noticed is that they list their front bumper for the 3rd gen as 2016-2018, im not sure if its because the 2018+ have sensors that interfere with aftermarket bumpers or if they just havent updated the page to reflect the years after 2018 for the 3rd gen.

    @SLACKBOY I’ve never had any issues there either... anytime that I called they answered all my questions. The don’t send any Installation instructions but they have some pretty solid videos on you tube... everything I’ve ordered has been a pretty straight forward install. Bottom line, I’m happy with everything I’ve received from them. I ordered a bed rack from them a little more than a week ago, we’ll see how long that one takes.

    I have a cbi, low hoop. It’s an awesome bumper, build quality is very impressive. And in my opinion, looks much better than the victory 4x4.
