after market rear bumper ideas

I am rough on my rear bumpers. Had Sequoia for 12 years and went through several, I would just order the flat black plastic bumper and replace it.

I already cracked and dented my Taco stock bumper. I would like to replace it with something sturdy & lightweight (it is a stock truck). I do not want to start replacing the plastic parts again.

There are several bumpers that I like but 100 pounds seems too heavy for a stock taco.


I can do a little bit of fabricating and create a good bumper but it certainly would not look good.

 

Ours has the rear Parking Sensor Sonar alerts in the plastic rear bumper, so I'm assuming that if I change the bumper to an aftermarket Bumper, that the sensors can be installed again???
Anyone else been down that road!

 

If it's a metal bumper, afaik not possible.

 

Depends how hard you're hitting stuff. Will the bumper to give, every time u hit shit, or will it be hard enough to transfer the crash to the frame and fuck other, more expensive shit up?

 

Check out @Dissent86 rear aluminum bumper caps. Those are lightweight and will probably stand up to a lot more abuse.
