    Hey guys I haven't been on here for a while but I have a question. I always wanted a winch bumper for my truck but didn't have the cash to shell out. Well tonight I hit a deer which messed my front bumper up pretty good. So I thought this might be the time to get the bumper I want with the insurance money.

    So my question is, which one do you guys think would be the best one to go with? I have a 2013 tacoma 4 door TSS 4x4 and the only mods I have done is a billet grill and 5100s to level it. I have been looking at the arb and the allpro but just wanted your opinions on quality, ease of installation, etc. Thanks!

    You will be happy with ether the ARB or AllPro. Both are good quality, and install and fit good. Just a matter of what one looks the best to you. I love my AP APEX.

    Once I save enough for a bumper im going allpro apex! Great product and love the look. Just remember that there is a wait on pretty much any fabbed bumper right now.

    That apex looks good! This may be a dumb question but would I have to buy anything extra like a aftermarket skid plate or would it bolt straight on?

    No unless you want to. You can keep the stock skid.

    The bumper bolts up easy. You can do it by yourself. Taking the stock bumper off for the first time. Might seem like a little puzzle.

    You can't keep the stock skid plate with the All Pro Apex. You would have to buy an aftermarket skid plate.

    Thanks for the responses fellas. I have currently narrowed it down to a cbi, allpro apex, or a brute force hybrid. I'm really liking the brute force hybrid but I have been trying to contact them with no success to see what the wait time is. I love the pelfrey but they said it would be 10 weeks. Its decision time I suppose ha one plus is it looks like my grill may be bent as well so maybe I can add a painted one to my build because I'm sick of the chrome
