New trail-gear rock defense rear bumper

haha na the arb has found it a home, i dont like the look of tube front bumpers with stingers like that, its ok on like a hard core trail rig but its not for this dd/wheeling toy haha

 

I agree.You do have a nice set up now..The ARB has always been my favorite front bumper.
If i didn't have two other trail rigs,i would love to do more to my DD 2003.going to try and keep it mostly stock for now..

 

Not feelin it.
What is up with the bend on the bottom of the side bar, did you hit something with it already? And why is the side protection bars sloped towards the rear? It looks like it's not mounted correctly.
And I agree with the comment on the eye bolts. Those wont last 1 time of towing and actually make the bumper look cheap. Sorry jmo.

 

its cool and yea its mounted correctly and i didnt hit anything, that really a bad pic and the angle mostly just make it look bad, hang on ill take another pic and post it

 

I like the price of the bumper but I suspect they didn't add chain hooks is because the bumper isn't rated for towing though it may be able to tow. I've considered this bumper and I think I would add a cross member behind the receiver tube all the way to the frame mounts.

 

heres a few more pics, and for all i tow its plenty strong enough

 

you could add a few more bars before you install it, like this one i built for my 4-Runner.

 

Yea. That looks alot better

 

Damnit! That is nice!

 

so i got mine on! i love it! looks great and it'll protect my bed! check it out... i painted mine flat black.




i also got my rear frame supports welded up today! turned out great



after paint


front bumper and skids are next!

 

^looks good, im plannin on takin mine back off and sending it to the local powdercoating shop, i sprayed it black with like a semi-gloss and the salt off the road when it snows just eats right through the paint, im just gonna nip it in the bud and get it done right

 

what about lights for your license plate? here it is illegal to not have lights. maybe its different in other areas. Your truck looks sick and also that 4 runner be lookin sick to mon!

 

i wondered bout that rule but figured that at night most cars headlights will be shinig right on the back of your truck so they can read your tag so ive never worried bout it, i might put some on there if i get a warning or something

 

iv already made my decision on this bumper and it WILL BE my next rear bumper...

this thread just further intensifies my desire for it.

great bumper. great price. great look. great functionality.

 

yeah i've actually been stopped twice for my license plate lights being out. just got a fix it ticket.

 

yea, they seem to be really easy bout that law around here, im just gonna leave it like it is and see what happens for a lil while

 

im with 98fourbanger... im gonna leave it and see what happens and Tacomarotto when ur ready to get it give Davez offroad a call. he gave me killer deal on my trail gear stuff. got in a week and a half.

 

Personally, I love the 4xinnovations rear bumper. They even have a class III (3) bumper hitch, approved for pulling. Similar prices, and Adam does AMAZING work.

how much did you get it for?

 

This is true i don't have my sliders yet i will have them built and installed next month i am having my back bumper built right now and the sliders after.

this is what I'm talking about.
