$1,000 to spend on rear bumper

First post for me ladies and gents,

I recently purchased a 2017 Tacoma and more recently got rear ended. I have an insurance check coming in for a little over $1,000 and I'm going to use it to upgrade my bumper rather than going back to stock. The receiver for my hitch bent when I was hit so that will need to be replaced as well.

I would appreciate input on an aftermarket bumper with a hitch option so I can tow my 18' aluminum center console boat as well as just having a nice rear bumper. Not doing any super serious off-roading, but I like to buy quality once rather than cheap twice.

 

Oh that's so easy man. You have so many options. Allpro, mobtown offroad, pelfreybilt, arb, c4 fabricating. There's so many options but with paying $1k you might as well get an aluminum bumper.

Welcome to TW

 

You got hot hard enough to bend your factory hitch and it only did $1000.00 in damage?

 

High clearance bumper.

 

Many aftermarket bumpers come with a receiver so you won't even need a new one!

 

I just uploaded some pics

 

where is the damage? $1000 license plate?
Edit; that focus is REKT

 

Ooffa! Your tailgate looks crunched too!

^ Ya i see it now. Next to the "A". thought it was a reflection.
OP look at CBI, SOS and Pelfrey built

 

RCI makes a pretty clean bumper too.

 

wow, did you even feel that nudge? Crumple zone central on that focus. I've seen some nice bumpers on here that keep the same lines as OEM, that's what I would go with.

 

Expedition One.

 

C4

 

C4fabrication just came out with a sweet high clearance bumper

 

CBI Offroad. Keeps the lines of the rear of the truck really well. I had the same thing happen too. My stock bumper destroyed a Miata and almost totaled it. Stock bumper didn't fair much better but no other damage occurred. I guess the stock bumpers are one and done deals.

 

I have an RCI on order right now. Cleanest lines in my opinion and met my needs the best. built in reciever, retains stock license plate lights and seems a little smaller than others, less is more. Next choice was CBI but I liked the RCI a little better and it was cheaper.

 

CBI offroad. They make non high clearance as well if cutting off the quarter panels are not yourcup of tea.

 

That is sick I must say
