    Well, I waited on this Lunar Rock TRD OffRoad for 12 weeks.

    Drove it one week and hit a deer.

    Ironically, I had just traded in an F150 with a full front end replacement bumper & grill guard.

    In looking around, options are limited. Bumpers either only cover the middle 1/3 or they look like something out of Mad Max.

    Any one have a suggestion for something in the middle?....something that adds decent protection, but doesn't take away the aesthetics of a good looking truck?

    [​IMG] I really like the Southern Style Offroad bumper. I think, for what that's worth, it's the best looking bumper on this 3rd gen. That plastic grill housing that holds the fogs lamps should be really easy and inexpensive to find online. I have one up in my attic but I'm saving it for Justin Case.

    I like to look at what kind of bumpers currently are available on the market through TacomaBeast.com. TacomaBeast is a trash company that likes to deface national parks but they have a good website so instead I’d recommend buying straight from the manufacturer.

    Wow. You must really hate TacomaBeast, because no one mentioned them in this thread at all. That was until you did. I'm not saying they're good or bad, but damn. To randomly bring them up like that just to trash them?

    They have a good wed site for browsing Tacoma parts. I just don’t support their business.
