Front bumpers for my 03 Tacoma

Ok i have an 03 tacoma trd v6. and i won't some opinions on front bumpers, id love to have a Relentless Fab front bumper but i just don't have that kind of cash since I'm a college student... Opinion please, lets see some pics of what y'all have an list a price of how much you paid for.


Thanks guys

 

So why the yell for help? I have factory bumper, works great!

 

No need to yell!

Now that we know you are not in any immediate danger...

What is your budget?

Stock is free, works to to protect and looks like a bumper until you can SAVE up the money to get the bumper you want. That is what I am doing, saving to buy what I want instead of wasting money on something I don't want.

 

Here is a good place to look:

1st Gen Build Threads

 

Save your money.

I'm going to assume that you are not in dire need of a plate bumper and just want it for looks.
There's a lot of other aesthetic mods out there, for a helluvalot cheaper than a plate bumper.

 

You can get a fairly nice Brush Guard that adds charecter to the front of your truck with added protection. fairly cheap i got mine for $150 and it fits perfect.

 

Why you in the bushes?

 

have you never played hide and go seek in your trucks? haha mine is welded to angle iron and bolted to the tow hook mounts. ive pushed down decent sized pine trees no problem

 

I bought an ARB from autoanything.com for $797 shipped anywhere in the USA for free. I really wanted an Elite but with a few options and shipping it was well over $1000 so that was a no go.

If you can't afford it, you can't afford it.
Save your money until you can afford it.
Resist the urge to have to have it "right now" and settle for something cheaper, because in the end, you're going to spend $200 on something you really don't want, $500 on something you really do want, and you'll only get $50 selling the one you didn't want in the first place.
Total cost, $650.

Buy cheap, buy twice.
Buy once, cry once.

 

You're right.

Fuck it.

I'm going to go to Lowe's every payday and buy $50 worth of angle iron until I have enough to bolt together into a bumper, set of sliders... oh hell... and a shackle flip and strut spacer!

 

Gold, Jerry!

 

some steel plate bumpers weigh down the front too much so ud have to consider lifting the front also. aka more $$
