    thats not a bumper its a brush guard they magnify the damage from accidents they are crap imo.

    if the op decides to get a brush guard or something similar. i would reccomend a randy ellis light bar or an avid those are the only two that offer any form protection what so ever.

    Isn't the injury part of the fun of working on your truck. My dad is a mechanic and I have seen some interesting "Mandaids" throughout the years!

    Lol I'm kidding!

    OP you should sit down with your husband, do some research on the internet and "accidentally stumble" upon this forum and go to this link that was provided earlier in the thread:

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/164975-bumpers-2nd-gens-only.html

    Start saying stuff like "Oh this bumper is nice!" and see which ones he says are/is nice then surprise him!!!!

    I ordered my husbands front bumper now I am researching the rear bumper. I started a new thread under this title....
    So I chose a front bumper now on to the rear. What do you guys think?

    Please help me decide which one to choose and why.

    Thank you for helping me out.:p:yay::thumbsup:
