    Someone swiped the corner of my front bumper while refueling the other day, so thought this would be a good excuse to upgrade to something a little more beefy. I don't do a lot of offroading, but I do spend a lot of time on ranch roads and some extra protection against deer strikes would be fantastic.

    I'm running the stock TRDOR suspension with no plans to upgrade at this time, so I'm thinking aluminum is the way to go to avoid adding a ton of weight up front. Already have a shell out back and don't want to handicap this drivetrain any more than necessary with added weight.

    Just wondering if anyone is running a CBI T3 aluminum front bumper on a TRDOR stock suspension?

    Would love to see pics or feedback if anyone is running a similar setup...

    One more thing... what is the MPG drop that people are experiencing when adding a front bumper?

    Thanks!
