    ...too much shit to list.
    Well...since you asked. Looks like machine stringer welds rather than a hand weave. But the PC could be hiding it.

    I don't see any packing tape, that's why I commented earlier thise could be a set waiing to be boxed up and shipped.

    I mean, OP was talking about having to do a covert operation to get pics as to not get in trouble.

    Looked pretty well staged out and not so much covert and on the sly lol.

    Other than that i got nothin'

    Without close ups of the actual welds, that's all I got.

    I believe someone contacted KO or DV8 or whatever people are calling them now and they confirmed they were produced over seas.

    Have him impartially judge this next to an All Pro and don't say which is name brand and which isn't for more accurate results.

    Anyone with an All Pro got/can get close up shots of the welds? Preferably one purchased recently

    I can easily analyze the differences if you know of any poor poor souls who have recently paid 2x for a front bumper

    Yeah I saw that. If the Tacoma bumper is anything like the rest of KO bumpers, they are robo welded. Which means stringer welds.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-16-Jeep-...teel-KO-Offroad-Fog-Light-Holes-/221828755813

    I've only seen a couple Apex bumpers (one 4Runner and one Taco) and I'm like 90% sure they were hand welded.

    I run a CNC machine, runtime on the parts just under 4 1/2 hours. 40 minute cycle times leaves room for a bit of browsing.

    Someone needs to reverse-engineer OP's bumper and make even cheaper version of it!
