    Hey everyone.... recently I hit a deer with my 2010 trd off road :( so sad, but now with some cash from the insurance company, I would like to buy a hybrid front bumper. I really like the All Pro hybrids, although they don't make them anymore. I also really like the bruteforce hybrid but I did not see it on there website... Does anyone have any Ideas/suggestions? I need some help on this one... Thanks!!

    Here are some pics of the damage :( little buck, and I was only going like 35mph

    Edit: I have a 3inch spacer lift and 33" tires, will I have any problems with rubbing with a hybrid? or should rubbing stop? also anyone in NY wanna swap wheels for black rims?!?!

    You can always PM Billy of Brute Force asking about it. I'm sure he still produces them as he just had a GB on those bumpers. Probably just haven't updated his website.

    Note: hybrid bumpers are designed to combine the clearance of a baja-style bumper with the ability to carry a winch in the center section. If you hit a deer with a hybrid bumper in the same spot, you will probably damage the inner fender apron and maybe bend a tie rod.

    point taken.... Understanding the risks, I love the look of them and the weight aspect... Thanks for the notice though :)

    I would disagree. If you hit a deer right under the tube wings of a hybrid, yeah it wont protect as much as a plate, but the middle part is just as strong as a plate.

    I have to vote for the ATO...but I would :p I like the fact that it's designed from the ground up as a hybrid, rather than being a plate bumper with the wings chopped off and tube welded on instead.
