    Nice. I like the looks of it myself and very possibly may grab one if I ever get my Tacoma. Some day . . . .

    my guy stripped it and actually had to put a couple coats of powdercoat on it. Total $ 175.00 in wrinkle black powdercoat. He said something about the oil in the welds causing the powdercoat to bubble up when baking. Hence why he did more than one coat.

    Just picked up mine from Brandon.
    That is one beefy bumper.
    Great guy and a good looking piece of work.
    I may have to increase the spring rate on the front of the truck.
    No pics yet I will give it a paint job and throw it on this week.

    Thanks again for a nice product Brandon.

    Brandon at Avid off road is a great guy to deal with. I ordered the bar on the 16th and got it in NJ on the 22nd. Everything went very smoothly and HIGHLY recomend doing business with him and I hope to in the future maybe for some sliders or a rear bumper guard
