    Hello, I have been trying to find a replacement front bumper for my 2020 TRD Off-Road but I'm having a hard time.

    I want front-end coverage that will protect the components under the truck which is why I said "aerodynamic" (for lack of a better term) but basically I want to stay away from the ultra-low-profile tube bumpers that leave everything exposed.

    I've noticed most of what I'm finding still uses the stock bumper for fitment, I don't care about cutting mine but I don't think it's still usable so that eliminates a lot of my choices?
    • I would like one with a grille guard, but I'm assuming any kind of bars across the front will be a problem for whatever sensors are in the grille (or bumper?) which is probably why most don't have them?
    • I don't need a winch so I would prefer the lower profile of one that doesn't leave space for it, but the only options I could find with grille guards were bolted on so I'm sure they're purely cosmetic?

    I appreciate your suggestions and look forward to fixing my truck, thank you.

    Alright, maybe if I narrow down the selection I can get some experienced input?

    I found these:
    • https://4wdadventuresusa.com/front-bumper-toyota-tacoma-3th-1/
      • I like this one, and apparently, they'll ship for free... But there is no information at all about it and I suspect the quality is as cheap as the price? (assuming I would ever actually get it if I placed an order)
      • I'm also assuming the bullbar is bolted on and purely cosmetic?
    • Vengeance Front Bumper | Fab Fours
      • Fab Fours is a brand I've actually heard of, and I like the "High Pre-Runner Guard option" but it says it won't work with the Toyota Safety Sense in the Emblem, which I'm pretty sure is what I have.
        • Can I simply change it to the TSS under the emblem? Is there any functional difference between the two, are they interchangeable or will some computer freak out because it sees the wrong one installed?
    I would still like to hear is if anyone has other suggestions, if there's anything I missed, or if anyone knows anything about these?

    If there are any vendors on here, or someplace I can get a good deal or quick shipping that would also be appreciated.

    Thanks
