    Just a quick opinion poll on TG bumpers, i have always liked the hybrid style and their bumpers are fairly cheap in comparison with most plate bumpers.

    I have only seen 1 picture of the front bumper that actually looked decent. The other pics on here of a silver 2nd gen looked kind of crappy (just my opinion). I will see if I can find the thread and the 1 pic that actually looked cool.

    EDIT:
    Picture of front bumper on the white Taco looks pretty good/sleak. But the silver truck shots either are taken at a shitty angle or something.

    I'm not a fan of the high front bumper bar but the light weight rear has potential.

    I never bought this bumper for my 1st gen runner because it looked as though the hoop supports partially blocked the headlights. Also it was just too tall... A squared off hoop that was a little lower would be a great option for these bumpers.

    These bumpers look ok and the price is right they just look like they show a lot of metal behind the bumpers.. you just don't get the coverage as you would with a plate bumper.

    The headlights look like they would be covered but my lights look the same with the bumper on or off..

    I like it, but like mentioned it shows allot behind the bumper, Im going to rubber coat behind it this summer, if i had the money i would get the Relentless Fab rear bumper. very clean
