Which winch bumper?

Oh nice! One piece bumper. 3/16" steel. Looks like a nice product.

 

Here it is.

 

Nothing against you but I just dont like the look of that bumper.. just looks off to me

 

No harm. Cosmetics are definitely personal preference. I like it which is good since its on my truck lol

 

Key words right there

 

looks beefy with those supports, but cosmetically id like it better if it was a smoother transition from bumper to skid. looks mad max tough though.

 

i just bought a place in Corona by green river and ontario btw, ill honk if i see your rig!

 

I used to live there. The family grew so I'm off cajalco now.

As for the transition that's my favorite part. It's different.

 

it is different, and its growing on me, but I would worry about smacking something dead center, stopping the truck instead of deflecting the truck up and over. but there is always that possibility depending on the approach i guess. maybe if all the vertical supports went down all the way to the skid.

 

There`s been some talk about strength of the bumpers and everything but isn`t the frame the weak point here? I would assume in even a mild front end collision the steel bumper would cause the frame to bend up front and the truck would be a write off because of that. A big solid steel bumper doesn`t have much of a crush reaction to it. Has anyone been in a front end collision with one of these bumpers and posted about it?

 

Doesn`t All Pro sell a front skid plate that covers all of that? Or is that only for their other bumper?

 

Very nice, looks much better than their multi piece one

 

I really wasn't sure how much I would like the FabFours bumper when I bought them. I was wanting more of a sloped bottom on the front and the rear bumper wasn't anything like I wanted. But they both have really grown on me. I can't wait to put a winch on this beast.

 

Looks good Brett! Thanks for the business. It was good seeing you in Big Bear. I added one of your pics to our APex bumper webpage under customer pics . I'll have to add lurpranger's too!

I got the ARB bumper for my 2010 Tacoma. Very well made and light.
It bolts to the frame with ten bolts and comes with cables to relocate the winch controller. Easy install every bolt lined up the way it should.
