Questions about heavy duty bumper

Im new here and have a couple question i have a silver 2003 Toyota Tacoma prerunner reg cab 4 cyl 2.7l i was doing some research on some heavy duty bumpers and couldn't find but a few that would fit my truck most would say why would i want something so heavy for a lightweight truck my answer is i like to give my truck that heavy duty look ive had it for 12/13 years since 05 well back to the subject i did some research saw arb had a front bumper but no rear bumper that fine and all but im that type that if i buy one brand i want the same brand for the rear so arb was out of the question look at the reviews very few negative reviews so the next one was hammer head again very few reviews next was iron bull bumper which i like the style especially the enforcer with headlight protection but after seeing many bad reviews im still debating if i want to go that route ive also looked at rentlentless fab the style is and good review which is a plus but if i wasn't so picky about looks id go for it but the style they got is not what im looking for so im looking for opinions

 

Don't make people work so hard to read your post.

Draw what you want to have

Get some quotes to have it built local

Shipping is a killer

 

Holy run on sentence Batman

Check out the ARB bumper, it's heavy duty and is one of the few designed to work with your airbag sensors. They're usually sold with free shipping from places like 4WheelParts

 

only if i knew how to draw wasn't born with that kind of talent but your right shipping is a killing only thing i could think of is printing photo and showing it to the welder i have some friends that can probably help me with the material

 

@enoblue my bad didn't pay to much attention in english class i was in and out of the school system lmfao

 

No worries, check out the ARB bumper like I mentioned before...it's a solid bumper with a good reputation, they've been selling products for our trucks for a long time

I just got the Relentless Fab Summit bumper. The quality and workmanship is awesome. The shipping is up there. I think it was $300 to a house and $200 to a business with a forklift available. The lead time was 10-12 weeks and it shipped on the 13th week after payment. It was worth the wait. They have several different styles and other fab you can put on your truck. I’d recommend them.

 

Relentless makes some of the best looking bumpers for our trucks, I would kill for a Relentless Predator bumper with the hoops...but man it's pricey plus shipping.

 

Where did you get your t case skid plate?

 

That actually came on my truck, previous owner installed it...it's a Skidrow t-case skid, they still sell them on their website

 

Thanks I’m going to check them out

 

yeah they're one of the few companies that still makes skids for us 1st gen guys...I think it's just Skidrow, Budbilt, All Pro and maybe Relentless?

 

Do you have the transmission skid too?

 

I have the Budbilt trans skid but I only put that on if I'm planning on needing it, that one covers the whole tcase and trans

 

My buddy made an awesome front bumper out of cardboard and masking tape.took it to a fab shop and with a little fine tuning he had the exact bumper he wanted to fit his personal taste.It was pretty cool to watch it evolve.

 

Your drawing does not need to be pretty .

Just enough to show the dimensions and shape

It is not fun to spend big $$$$ for a quality product only to just not like how it looks .

It comes down to just what you like

OP`s issue seemed to be not being able to find a front and rear bumper from the same company that they liked.
