    We just got back from the overland expo and there seems to be a fair amount of interest in an Aluminum version of the 2016-2017 Tacoma bumper.

    It would be the same as our current steel bumper just thicker material.

    Price point would be a little less than our 2005-2015 Aluminum bumpers.

    Before we push this forward we would like to get gauge the interest. Please let us know if you would be interested in an aluminum bumper.

    I'm surprised you haven't made an aluminum version long ago.

    I would definitely have to consider it. Was planning to go to a hidden winch mount to help keep weight down, but a light weight reasonably priced bumper replacement would be better...

    Hands down one of the best looking bumper on the market IMO. Aluminum will just be just icing on the cake. So, YES please!!!

    Not in the traditional way. The front end doesn't lend it self well to that. BUT we will try some new stuff soon.

    I'd say yes, because my plans for the future is front and back bumpers but as stated before I'd like to keep weight down as much as possible.
