    In your opinion, what's the best looking front bumper for a 2nd gen Tacoma?
    Also, what do you think of my bumper?IMG_1972.jpg

    I think your bumper matches your headlights really well and it all ties together. That flatter front look on bumpers isn't my thing but the hoops help smooth it out.

    I looked at bumpers like crazy and hunted for 2 years for a Pelfreybilt (I know, I know) aluminum set of bumpers.

    The design on mine is definitely a bit different, and it's a bit bulky and blocky in shape too. Part of my reason for this thread is to get ideas if i ever decide to swap to a different bumper.

    I like the looks and performance of the Brute force fab bumper.

    Bamf bumpers are pretty similar but include light bar cut out

    I think the c4 over lander is the best looking but too expensive

    C4 overland is awesome looking, been considering it. As to expensive, it's a cnc cut, welded, polished, and powdercoated metal bumper. It's not cheap, but in my opinion it shouldn't be, and you get what you pay for.

    That’s not necessarily correct. The c4 website says ships bare steel. So it is about 300 more similar built. And bamf from what I have read is known for a top job powder coat and overbuilding their products

    I have no skin in the game don’t have either products. I will likely buy the bamf bumper this bf since they are very comparable and much cheaper. The overland bumper is very nice looking

    My mistake on that one, I’d thought they had a powdercoat option.

    To clarify, the 2.5 gens (2012-2015) front bumpers that brute force fab makes do come with a 20" (?) light bar cutout. Not too sure on the size, but he verified that he makes those year bumpers with a cutout.

    IMO C4 and BAMF make the best looking front hybrids. not too big a fan of full plate bumpers so I won't speak on those.

    Those have always caught my eye, strong without being super heavy. Wish they would offer a 2” receiver option for the front though.
