Just added this bumper today.

Good point, that’s definitely important for me, I don’t want to make my long bed any longer it make it more of A pita to parallel park.
I’ve seen some pretty stupid designs that stick out a lot.

 

sick bumper and sick Santa Cruz in your profile pic... join us over at https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/all-things-bikes-and-tacos.445155/

 

Brand, model, price, shipping, where’d you buy it and did it arrive ok?

 

How far did it drop your front end? I want one but don't want to lift yet.

 

I want to see it from the side to see how the plate mount and winch opening are spaced (will adding a fairlead push the plate out?). Profile pic please!

Congrats on the sweet bumper OP. It looks like a clean install. I like the use of the edging on the plastic bumper. It's a clean look. I installed a Greenlane bumper somewhat similar to this and used the same type of edging despite the instructions saying cut/sand to a clean edge. Looks like your shop did a good job with the cut. That is the hardest part really. When it's time to drop the bumper and add a winch or light bar it shouldn't be too hard.

 

I went with a 28lb aluminum bumper and a 90lb winch (with synthetic line) and lost 3/8". I already had sliders on and didn't notice any compression from those (weight past the front wheels is way more significant than weight between the wheels). Sorry this isn't exactly the same setup but I thought a reference point might help you. (Installed 118lbs and lost 3/8" on stock offroad suspension)

 

That specific one is Body Armor, but I'd definitely recommend you check out @SOS CONCEPTS They make one too, and its proven to be solid steel

 

Thanks

 

I’ll take a photo today. I’ll post it here.

 

Body armour 4X4 Hi Line series

 

Not sure. The brand is Body Armour Hi line series.

 

Not at all. That’s why I chose this bumper. Didn’t want any issues with the camera or TSS.

 

Being in Canada I ordered it through a local shop. I paid 1250.00 cad all in. Installed.

 

Honestly it doesn’t seem like it has. I’m sure if I measured it. It might have dropped alittle. I am considering a levelling kit. But I’m not too worried about it.

 

On my 2nd gen I put mine in because the recovery points are super useful and when the winch came a few weeks later I installed it.

 

Agreed, I went basically the same route with CBI’s Push-Bar style. No cutting, adds skid plate and mount points for 4 lights or a 30” light bar... not to mention looks great. Did have to remove entire front end practically though to mount the brackets. Worth every bit, time and money!

 

that looks bitchin

 

Here’s a side photo. I choose this bumper because it’s very close to OEM. Plus it looks sick!!!

 

Just did mine this weekend. No winch, and the LED light bar I bought had a broken mount. So for now, no winch, no light. I screwed up the cut a bit on the sides. Went too wide and now the bumper plastic, has to sit behind the tiny flanges on the bumper. Oh well. Looks cool, and I can install the light bar when I get it replaced, by just removing the front grille.

 

DIG IT!!!
