    anyone ever run one of these?
    very few examples online, just a couple seller images +
    maybe one other second gen example

    i am contemplating buying this + the rear tube bumper by trail gear
    in the future!

    thanks

    Trailgear bumpers are alot more common on first gens and mini trucks, I dont think Ive ever seen one on second or 3rd gens.

    Im local and I build tube bumpers I could send some pics if your interested.

    I SAW YOUr bumpers in your build thread just yesterday, i like them a lot and could pick them up as i am in MA

    i actually like the oldschool look of these Trail Gear and 1st + 2nd gen i find oldschool as well so i like that, and also
    i could get the stringer front, tube rear, for $1500 combined shipped to my door (theyre having a sale)
    any other option (not a lot of tube rears for 2nd gen) of front and rear armor from other companies or you
    would be around double or 50% more $

    the rear bumperis $644 on sale
    front is $750 on sale
    $100 freight charge

    on trail gear website i am going through

    tempted to throw in sliders they have for $450ish on sale too

    Yep, I certainly cant match that price. I actually did find a thread with them cause I was curious. Not my cup of tea and no weight listed.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/trail-gear-rear-bumper-for-2nd-gen.265017/

    I also can do some tweaks if you wanted, like I did with @Brownmatthall 's

    i like the look of these on wheelers, but I absolutely hate the TG and flame logos stamped into the bash plate.

    thanks, i think theyre a nice design as well, simple in a way

    the logos arent ideal but i dont mind them because once again they throw 90s vibes out haha

    you say this as a guy who owned a 90 Toyota pickup truck with the old Smittybuilt 3inch tube bumpers on the front and back, and has some Hella 500's on the bumper because I loved the look of them that way back when I was a kid and when I saw that white truck I knew that was the one! was sad when I sold that to my nephew but it was wheeled hard and he loved it
