    Mine Is a true 1 off, it's his first 6 lug first gen tube bumper and we mixed ideas on the style and this was the outcome.

    To my knowledge I'm the only one with one. :)

    I really like this one-off bumper that Camburg made for their 2000.

    With all the lights. I like how it came out.

    I added tabs for the mini fogs, best $140 I spent in lighting.

    Did you have to weld on the light bar yourself? Or can TG just ship it to you that way?
    How far does the lightbar stick out from the grill? The TG is really growing on me. Damn though, your CV boots look super exposed? I guess no more exposed than the stock valence but i don't feel like they're usually not that conspicuous.

    I still like the beeftaco model but i had a situation over the summer that made me really wish i had a winch...

    Trail Gear bumper. Only got it because it was cheap. I'm considering making one like my previous Tacoma had though.

    The hoop ships separate from the low profile bumper and must be notched, fitted and welded. The amount is sticks out depends on the angle at which you affix it. Trail Gear does offer their Trail Defense bumper with a stinger pre-attached.

    Badland bumpers. Great quality, and they take a beating. Have had it on for four years now. I love it.

    Says it bolts to factory location, no cutting or welding.

    The TG bumper is plug and play, although I did have to do a tad bit of grinding to get my mount bracket to fit over my frame rails.

    Edit: forgot the only thing that I might not consider “plug and play” would be that you need to relocate your turn signals. I moved mine to the parking light housing.
