    After looking at the C4 Rock Runner bumpers (I might be late to the party) I'm curious as to what other companies make their high clearance bumpers by also removing the lower cross members on the trucks?? I really do like the extra clearance, but is the rigidity still there as far as frontal impacts??
    As far as the C4 for the 3rd gen; it looks like it totally matches up with the 2nd gen?? I'm curious if I got the 3rd gen Rock Runner and tried to mate it to the 2nd gen, what would be envolved, amd is it doable?? Thanks in advance. Happy Front bumpering, Lol!!!
    I currently have the Chassis Unlimited front bumper on. Could I do a straight up swap if I did get a Rock Runner??

    Front?

    why would you not get a 2nd gen bumper for a 2nd gen

    theres a couple. Warfab. Coastal offroad. Maybe more.

    question is which if any offer full headlight hoops protection combined with good looks

    TegoTaco, that's one bad ass Taco, indeed. I was always looking at the Hybrid and wasn't really sure as to why it seemed to have so much clearance. I know now. Thanks..
    I just know my Octane from C.U. really needs more angle to it. I don't know weather to chop and modify it (customize for a one off) or just take another hit for another bumper?? I'm really liking this high clearance stuff...
    Thanks for the replies..

    2013xspx nice rig bro. That bunper has a lower bracket delete??
    I've even eying SSO. Prices are competitive. Only thing is my CU Octane keeps me a lil differentiated from the rest. So no rush for a bumper. I just lo w the cleanliness of the lower bracket delete on the C4 R.R.

    No, the one in the photo is a standard bumper.

    I asked this same question a while ago, and there aren't many companies that make one: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/iso-high-clearance-front-bumper.797099/

    I have only heard of c4 , coastal , an warfab for making crossmember deletes.

    As for rigidity I think c4's bolt in member is a little janky, the ones that are welded in like warfab and the one I designed below are much stronger and more rigid than stock.

    As for 3rd gen bumper on 2nd I do think the skid and crossmember would work but the bumper wont most likely. 3rd gen bumpers accommodate the grill that comes much more forward.

    This is just my $0.02, I have not tried any of this yet.

    Installed my setup this weekend on a friends truck. Ignore the skid setup, its pretty mangled and warfab makes it mount wierd

    Check out Bruteforcefab. His website is a little dated, but the products are solid

    My front is a Pelfreybilt, but rear HC is Bruteforcefab

    They don't seem to offer a high clearance front bumper, can you link to it?
