    Hey guys, I've been really liking the idea of replacing that front black plastic bumper on my 2017 TRD OR with one capable of adding a winch. I am looking for a direct replacement what wont require any trimming of my front bumper. Does anyone know if there is such an option?

    I'm looking for a design similar to this

    Just one that wont require any trimming.

    Thanks!

    will that require trimming? I did some research and the instructions for the Warn say that trimming is required

    Its my understanding that if you want a bumper like that... you're gonna do some trimming. No way around it.

    I don’t think there are any options that replace the black part without trimming. C4 fab and a few others make full plate bumper replacements that don’t require trimming. SDHQ makes a winch Carrier that only requires cutting out the hole for the winch rope/cable.

    Buy it from Summit Racing with free shipping for full price on a credit card that has price protection. Get a screenshot of the TRDparts4u link and submit a price protection claim to get the $150 back.

    Depending on the bank, it may take a couple weeks to process the claim, but definitely worth the time. Sale price plus free shipping :spending:

    Check out the SOS low pro winch bumper too.

    Ever single one of these will require you to do at least as much cutting as I did for mine. Just an FYI. Its extremely easy.
