    So a bull elk smashed into my first tacoma, really want to protect against totaling out my current taco. I've been looking at alot of front bumpers & narrowed it to 3 companies, i think lol. Demello, Pelfreybilt, & Relentless.

    :itllbuffout:

    Seriously, that's bad. I will say a bumper will help but if you have a repeat run in, I still foresee a lot of repairs. That said, I like Relentless or what Wolftaco said about CBI. I have their bolt on sliders for my 1st Gen being delivered tomorrow in fact. Fast fulfillment, and great to deal with. I can't wait to have hands on the sliders for a closer inspection.
