New after market bumpers needed

Hey yall I'm new to the forum. I've had my 09 Tacoma for about 4 months now and have already done a few mods to it. It's addicting.... I do have 3 questions: I live in Portland Oregon and looking for a place that manufactures Aluminum or Steel winch bumper locally so I can have it made exactly how I want it, or if someone has one for sale. 2: when I drive my truck it grabs the grooves in the road an jerks me around.. how can I fix that? I've had it aligned already so that's not the problem, Infact I took it back an had them check it again! 3: how do I turn off the sensor that beeps at me when I turn a corner? What the heck is that anyway? I'm not going fast or anything. At least I don't feel like I am..lol Thank you for any help with these issues.

I believe it's called "tramlining" when the tires want to pull you in the direction of the grooves in the road, usually it's an alignment issue but if that is ruled out then you may have too much air in your tires. Check the PSI and make sure it's not too high

As for the beeping when turning..that sounds like some kind of advanced tech that the 2nd gen Tacomas have that my 1st gen does not, so I've got nothing there. Maybe something to do with the traction control system

 

Did a quick search - it looks like the vehicle stability control might need to be adjusted.

Welcome

There is a shop that makes sliders, is the Tigard/Tualatin area I think, I'm blanking on the name right now. I'm assuming they do other pars besides sliders

other questions, don't know

There are a few PNW specific threads you may want to watch if you're interested: Truck Spotting, CL/FBM finds, Buy and Sell, general BS

 

Bumpers local? Not really seen much in Oregon. Down here we have Bay Area Metal Fab. Great quality and super easy to deal with.
Second for air pressures. Also for grabbing a line, if its lifted add caster. 1-2° ish...
Yes traction control is the issue for the beep. Recalibrate and see what happens.

 

There's Northwest Trail Innovations, they make some good looking bumpers. Think they're up in Washington though.
