    Hey guys trying to decide on the bumper I want to get. I think I have narrowed it down to Relentless Fab and CBI's Moab 2.0 but Im open to opinions and if you have one mounted post some pics! Im also open to pros and cons as well as other companies. I want to be sure before I order. Thanks guys.

    CBI Moab 2.0

    allpro long travel, shackle flip with ome dakars, cruisin offroad bumpers and sliders, 4.88 gears with arb's front and rear, budbuilt skids.
    i vote cbi, those bumpers are pure sex, and when installing a winch the winch plate bolts onto the truck first then the bumper skin bolts on around it, much easier install.

    I vote Relentless. It follows the body line better while concealing more of the underside components. CBI is okay but don't like it for the fact it stops short of the outer fender wheel well.

    He quoted me at $1050 for the exact thing pictured on the Taco pictured above. But I also asked for the Aluminum Alloy instead of the steel because its half the weight.

    I think your white Tacoma looks fine the way it is. Put the $G into something else besides a front bumper, until you F*** your stock one up.

    For some reason I think most of these bumpers make our trucks look very front heavy. Relentless is better looking of the 2. I think the ARBs also look decent on our trucks.

    I went with the pelfreybilt. Relentless was way too long of a wait, although I loved the look. CBI , I just did not like it, although I have their rear with tire carrier.

    I got the pelfrey with fog and rigid light bar cut outs. I really considered the Relentless aluminum but am glad I went steel after seeing what my bud built aluminum skids have gone through.

    If you go steel you may need to upgrade springs on coils if you add a winch, I did and after moving up to #700 lb springs it rides perfect..

    Just my $0.02. http://www.pelfreybilt.com
