    2 in lift - with ARB front bumper
    I have a 2007 Tacoma and just bought a 2002 ext cab 4x4 trd w locker etc - nice unit - green in color! It has a lift on it w 285/75/16 - I just ordered a ARB front bumper but I can't find a rear bumper other than a tube type which I don't want ...

    I was looking at the Smittybilt XRC - it is 62.16 long - I have the ability to make brackets but
    I am unsure about my trailer hitch and a license plate relocation. Any thoughts???

    I called Smittybuilt and got a good dude on the help line you said they used to make a rear bumper for first gen but only sold it overseas..... no one seems to be making a off road rear bumper (other than the tube one - that is not my thing)

    I really hate the thought of just buying a cheap OEM black rear bumper - help.

    Michael in South Carolina!

    Looks like this XRC might work

    I might buy it and make brackets and see how it looks

    could be a decent solution for others that hate the OEM rear bumper

    There are a lot of rear bumper options out there other than tube bumpers

    Check out Coastal Offroad, Relentless, 4xInnovations, All Pro, Addicted Offroad, and Northwest Trail Innovations just to name a few.
