Bumper Help

Here is what she looks like in her current form (Except now the Rigid light bar is installed). What high clearance front bumper should I throw on?

The build: 285's w/Wescott Lift and Icon RXT Leaf Pack on stage 2, Rough Country UCA's, 529 Gears, Sibi 91 Octane Tune, Leer XR, Prinsu front & rear rack, RSG sliders, bed stiffeners, ESP under seat lock box.

 

That's has to totally your decision. What is your purpose, like as in looks. Only thing I would is light in weight and looks, but functional. There are so many ugly bumpers out there. Google is your best bet on, to see what is out there. That trips your trigger.

 

Trying to find one that I can mount a winch on and maybe get some more clearance with.

 

My 0.2C: I would also consider low-profile bumper options as well. Your 2021 Pro still looks fresh! Perhaps this would work for you: https://www.southernstyleoffroad.com/product/2016-tacoma-slimline-full-plate-bumper/

In my opinion, I would only cut off my bumper if it's already damaged -- might as well cut the bed sides too for a rear high-clearance swingout for the full look!

 

I vote BAMF but I might be bias.

If it were me I would have a receiver mount winch. That I could remove, and use back or front. So many times you drive into something, and would prefer to pull back out. Instead of pulling through. Plus not having that extra weight hanging in front full time. Something to think about.

 

That’s a pretty solid idea. Haven’t seen a receiver mounted winch. Going to have to google that one.

 

A few guys that I know have them, for their jeeps. The OTT tuner (Ryan) that tuned my truck few weeks ago had one in the bed of his truck. He said he did want it out in salt, all winter. They make a front receiver mount for our truck. You could get that and Viper cut your bumper for clearance.

 

Not sure if this is what you had in mind but, I just did this install today. DV8 Off-road bumper, and Badland 12,000 pound synthetic cable winch. No cutting/trimming for the bumper. To keep the control box on the winch (my choice), I did have partially trim a piece the cross brace for the hood latch upright. Still quite stiff. No thrills but both together for about $1200. Still need to add a light bar.
