Nice bumper!

Curious why this bumper is not compatible with the TRD front skid plate.

Also, The install instructions corresponding to your link above are for a 4runner.

 

Thank you!!

We have not yet confirmed fitment with the TRD engine skid however we do anticipate it to fit and will update the website as soon as we have a truck with a TRD engine skid plate in to confirm.

Install guide link has been updated, thanks for letting us know!

 

Ordered mine last night. Can’t wait to get it thrown on.

 

Awesome!! We appreciate your support. We have 3 welders building nothing but these bumpers right now, so we'll have yours completed and shipped out ASAP and shoot you an email with tracking info!

 

Just ordered mine. I have been waiting for you guys to drop a bumper like this. I really wanted to match my RCI rock sliders and skid plates and just didn't like what other options were on the market from other vendors. I wanted RCI and have been sitting on this decision for a year - now I have my way forward! Looking at the photos I can't see why it would conflict with the TRD skid plate. I guess I'll get to find out.

Also thanks for offering local pickup. I'm ready to drive up from the Springs once it has been made.

Hey Flem, thanks for the continued support!

We're with you and anticipate it to fit, but all of the Taco's at the shop have an RCI engine skid rather than a TRD, so we haven't been able to confirm. Let us know how it turns out!

 

Is there a way to mount a front license plate for states that require one? I looks like there are two holes where the winch goes that are spaced about right to accommodate a plate? Thanks!

 

Exactly, there are two holes to mount a license plate if you don't run a winch otherwise a quick detach or flip up license plate bracket will mount to the same holes as the winch fairlead.

 

Really like this bumper EXCEPT the RCI logo/cut out right in the middle of the light bar. Why does every manufacturer think that our trucks are an advertising platform for their products? It would be so much nicer if it were just a straight light cut out. JMHO. Look great otherwise.

Looking again, that RCI cut out seems to block a significant amount of light from the center portion of that light bar. Again, a straight light cutout across that light bar with a little discrete RCI somewhere else would be so much better.

 

Hey Steve, we appreciate your feedback!

We label our products because we're proud of what we make; we don't just bend steel - we're a name brand that brings pride to most of our customers, but most of all - it's because we embrace the accountability of every single one of our products. I would also like to address your comment about the light bar cut out: Choosing to put our label there minimizes weak points on this particular bumper style and truck. Our engineers accounted for the attachment sites, bends and welds, and calculated stability for a solid cut out for the light bar, or a patterned cut out. Choosing to put the logo in that exact spot is more than an aesthetic choice, it's an engineering calculation to protect our customer's trucks - a choice that we stand behind enough to put our name on it.

 

How can I claim the 20% off ? I’d like to order one too

 

No coupon code necessary and the price on the website is already discounted until the 20th bumper is claimed!

 

Great looking bumper. I’ve been looking for a covert style one with a light bar. Added to the list

 

Looks great, I've been hoping you all would come out with something like this so I could pick up locally instead of paying to ship steel across the country.
Saw the bumper wings too, but was curious as to why they stop short of fender flare. They would be even better if they extended back a bit further:

 

Just purchased this! anyone who installed this yet have pics with it on?

 

The High Clearance Wings extend to that body line on the fender flare however the stop short since 35s have been a popular addition and those running 35's trim the fender and fender flare at that body line to clear the tires.

 

Got it, thanks!

 

Mine is ready and I picked it up last week. Very well made and very happy! It will be a few more weeks before I can get it installed, but started dry fitting the components.

-Rough Country single row Black series 30" light bar (bumper has exactly 31.75" between the integrated mount ears)
-Badlands Apex 12000lb winch
-Quick detachable license plate bracket (modified)

The light bar is a perfect fit and there is plenty or room on the bumper for the winch. We'll see how it fits and if the control box needs to be relocated once I get it all in place.

Still need to verify that it will work with the TRD factory skid plate, but I'm still not seeing where these will be incompatible.

Hope this helps.

 

That looks awesome. Excited to see it on. I too have the TRD skid plate so I am curious if it will fit.
