    Well I got backed into this week and it wrecked my bumper. So I figured what better time to get an aftermarket off-road one then now.

    I know there are some posts about bumpers.

    My truck has the towing package on it and I wanted to know if any of these aftermarket bumpers work with the Toyota towing package that comes on the trucks. I don't want to remove it or replace it with a different one. Which bumpers work?

    Any help would be great. Thanks!

    I am looking for one to replace the stock rear bumper. Hoping one will work with the stock hitch so i dont have to remove it. I realize some bumpers attach where the hitch attaches.

    Or maybe even one where the town hitch is below the bumper not behind the licence plate

    Too many to list now.
    Gotcha covered. Lemme find the link. There's a group buy for the last bumper you'll ever buy. Best quality on the market!

    Only a few days left, better get on it!

    Edit, just read first post. You won't be able to use your stock hitch with any aftermarket bumper I'm aware of, but this one replaces it and I can assure you it's just as strong if not stronger than stock, also it's lighter as a whole.

    Brute Foce Fab makes a really nice rear plate bumper. It looks good it come with a hitch on it. There is a GB on it now. The only things you need from your old bumper are the license plate lights and the 7 pin connector. Everything just screws right back in. Check it out in the GB section. You won't be disappointed. Billy does a great job ina timely manner

    I hate to take off my factory hitch because I will be hauling a camper.

    look at the allpro rear bumper thread, the dude hauls a huge ass boat with his allpro rear and hasn't had any problems that i know of yet. I have one but haven't hauled anything yet but it looks tough and seems like it could pull its own weight. No pun intended, ok maybe a little haha
