    Definitely feel like most of it's missing.. almost like the center section of a Pelphrey built :crapstorm:


    Keep that section and add tubes following the upper front of the fender almost under the headlights/grill

    looks good, you should think about painting that rad support and part of the apron black to make them disappear

    Not a huge fan. It looks as though it's an incomplete hybrid bumper. But it's your truck, so do what makes you happy!

    Not my style. Should follow the lines of the cut you made on what is left of the bumper. Similar to relentless, RCI new design and what I did to my cbi

    Agreed. Paint the support and all that behind black. Tubes contoured to the body wrapped to the fender. Maybe tapered skid plate.

    No pre runner trim, no mud flaps,no step ups,I do have the Deck plate though. Kings @ 0 and 5100's in rear. stock leafs. Total chaos UCA.
    cool for the "raw" look I would just want a bit more protection for my baby

    If you're open to suggestions, take a look at adapting this design for our trucks.
    This is SVC Offroad's new bumper coming out for the Raptor.
    Very interested to see something like this for the 2016+ Tacoma

    It looks like you rear ended someone and just removed the broken plastic bumper cover.

    The idea of the aftermarket bumper is to add some extra protection with the metal....this just completely negated any of that. YOu might as well take it off and drive without one. There is zero protection offered for the sides by this thing.
