    hey all, I got into an accident and other driver's insurance is claiming full responsibility. They're giving me the total estimated amt to fix cash, so I'm gonna fix my truck how I want it...I've been wanting a cool steel off-road type front bumper, but don't like the super prominent ones. I want something a little more discrete. Any recommendations?

    Look in the vendors forums, find a local(ish) builder and see what they have. Shipping can be killer on these.

    If you mention where you are somebody might know a local builder to recommend.

    I have a Hooke offroad. I'm personally not crazy about how it looks, but didn't want to spend more than $1k total at the time, so that was about all I could find new that I could even somewhat deal with appearance-wise.

    I'll throw in BAMF into the mix. You can get their front bumper without hoops for a more understated look, or full hoops.

    Bit pricey, so it'd def be more worth it if you could go pick it up from them, but I've had their hybrid bumper on my 2.5gen for 3 years now and no complaints.

    Other driver's insurances do not provide estimates on repair. They provide lowballs.

    Independent collision repair facilities provide estimates on what it costs for them to perform a repair.

    -full headlight hoops
    -metal
    There's not many to choose from that fit that criteria

    It seems southern style off-road has no love for pre 2016 Tacos.

    Get a price quote from a real shop cause insurance payouts are usually low ball offers that they are hoping you will take cause you’re broke or something.

    As to your question I like my Demello Off road low profile bumper quite a bit. Lots of good options out there though, as well as quite a few shitty ones.
