    Hey everyone. I have a very basic 3d Gen SR 4WD and I’m hoping for recommendations on sleek bumper upgrades.

    I’m looking for simple but stout, front and rear. Ideally a hidden front winch, maybe hidden behind tag (state requires tag in front). I’m not into big bull bar type fronts or loud branding. Just looking for simple and well-made, but upgraded from factory plastic. Budget is generous.

    Any recommendations?

    MOVE Bumpers have some pretty cool options if you're looking for a DIY project, very minimal branding, along with winch options depending on the one you choose.

    Cali Raised makes a Stealth Bumper that can be ordered with no bull bar hoop. Front license plate bracket is available for it as well. They’re well-made, powder coated, & in stock ready to ship.

    Just be aware that nothing short of a full ARB front bumper will fold in on you, in even the slightest front accident.



    I know I should'nt comment, since I only rock a Bull Bar, but it's been great for Mall Crawling and unfortunately hitting small animals..

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    This is what I did on the front:

    Victory 4x4 Blitz. It requires only minor cutting to the bottom of the bumper cover, and can go back to stock in about an hour and a half. The bumper can be built with or without the pull bar. There are a couple of places that make a flip up license plate mount, but I built my own.

    I won't show you my rear bumper, because it's no longer available.
