    Happy to help. And thanks. You don't need to wheel to get the bumper though... Its great animal or idiot driver protection as well.

    I'm taking delivery of a 2012 very soon and am in the market for a plate bumper. Is anyone fitting these to the new Taco front end so that it installs CLEAN? I really like Brute Force, Shrockworks, Demello and Road Armor. Only ARB is working on a 2012 bumper to my knowledge.

    It will probably come down to whoever builds a fitted bumper for 2012 first will have my money. Who, other than ARB, is doing this?

    I think DeMello is making one, and I think Billy at brute force might be working on one too. Not sure on that though.

    I think the current Demello bumper looks good on the '12 model. The pics i've seen floating around look good.

    Yes, the gap is NOT a proper fit. Great bumper though.

    Yeah I understood, sorry just bad innuendo joke that didn't work in text form. I personally don't think the fit on the '12s looks bad. That's just me though. I don't think it would stop me from ordering one or make me wait for a new design. I think it would really look slick with an LED light bar hiding the gap!

    haha my bad for not getting it. The led would look cool but i think the placement would hinder the flood output since it would be tucked in there.

    I was thinkin more just sitting in front of the gap, not necessarily tucked in.

    Exactly the picture I was thinking of...:D Looks great IMO! Love the front end on the 2012's once the bumper is tossed.

    Looks good. Did you have to cut the tie down point off? And did you get the brackets on?
