    I'm curious to know if any of you Pro owners have this Artec Industries venture front bumper. It's very clean looking and looks to be the one with the least amount of cutting and easiest to install.

    If any of you have this, was there any modification needed to the TRD skid plate? Artec says they didn't know because they make their own skid plate. They also mentioned that they know of one person that has a Pro that bought it, but he/she didn't mention if they needed to trim their plate or not.
    TIA

    Looks to be marginally the same as all the other low profile/slimline bumpers for the 3G Tacoma with a slightly small "footprint". If you have to trim the factory bumper cover does it really matter if its 1/2" or 2" of trimming? The back side where the structure and recovery point tie in is the important stuff and they don't show any of that on their site. o_O
