===>BUMPERS<=== - 2nd Gens Only

None. As far as I know....

 

Yeah to my knowledge none! Most have their own built in recievers

 

Doug from baja bumpers makes one that works with the oem hitch....


But i bet you guys are looking for a plate bumper that works with the oem hitch

 

Actually that looks really good! They just need to get a set of the fiberglass caps for under the taillights to finish it off.

 

Thanks.....ive seen those caps before, but ive never thought the fitment of the fiberglass was any good.

 

It's not...

 

Anyone out there building an all aluminum hybrid???

 

brute force fab, rogue style.

 

Badass lookin Cody!!

 

thanks, great thread. that saved a lot of searching

 

They will work with you on whatever measurements you want! Make sure you have it powder coated and not painted! you will save money in the long run, paint rust through after aboit 6 months! burmppp

 

Awesome thread!!!

 

I love that bumper. May I ask how much? How long was the wait for it? Also, what kind of a lift do you have right there? Sorry for the interrogation.

 

I'm looking for a pair of rugged-ass bumpers, front and rear. Like, the best stuff possible. Weight isn't a huge concern of mine - unless it's lightweight, then it's probably not the type of strength. Which one of these would hold up best in the unlikely but plausible event of, say, a deer strike? If I'm spending hundreds of dollars on protection, I want the best.

Full plates, of course. Not a big fan of hyrbids and definitely not feeling tube style.

Integrated rear hitch is a HUGE bonus, too. I don't have any hitch receiver on my truck and would like to have a modular design, if possible.

 

arb front bumper

cbi or relentless or ato rear bumper and sliders

 

Any of the good brands will obliterate any animal you hit. ARB puts the most distance between the animal and the rest of your vehicle...probably has the best shape to avoid any incidental body dings.

ATO high clearance is always my first recommendation for the rear.

 

How's that one look with the hitch paired to it? It seems the bumper and hitch are sold as two separate pieces.

It says the ARB bumper is "airbag approved".... which I don't like too much. That probably means if it's a jerkoff in a Camry that decides to pull in front of me as opposed to a wild critter, my truck's more likely to get banged up as bad as it would stock than with a "regular" plate bumper. (since it's probably designed to 'absorb' the impact, not reflect it) The ARB doesn't look all that beefy. I couldn't care less about the operation of my airbags; in fact, eventually all of them will be removed in time, so I wonder if there's something better for the money out there. The Allpro one has a nice shape to it... hm.

 

ato makes some of the highest quality armor you can buy anywhere.

they look great and they are tough as balls. fyi jandrews and all of the other guys i would consider to be very hard on their trucks pretty much all run either ato skids and rear bumpers.

point being is that they are arguably the best. i'm buying all my skids from them and probably my rear h/c

 

Does ATO have a front design? There doesn't appear to be one listed, but I have a history of lacking observational skills. >_>

If not, I love the look of the Brute Force one... aside from all those damn holes cut into it.
