All-Pro's New APEX Front Bumper Group Buy & Give-a-way

I just tucked them in the bumper. No issues yet, but I plan on using some sheet metal screws to hold them down.

 

I tucked what ever my tires didn't eat in and used no-residue black duct tape from Depot. So far, so good. Replacement inner fender wells are like 20-30 bucks.

 

Poked a hole in them and used black zip ties to secure to the bumper

 

Cool thanks for the advice tape and zip ties it is!

 

Cut them off. I did. Works grreat. Had the same problem and didn't want to cut them off but now I did I'm pleased and like it. Just my 2 pennies.

 

I would, but dont want the headlights and wiring to be exposed. Without the plastic its a straight shot into alot of electric items and connections...

 

Just noticed my truck is on your website All Pro! Cool

Nice bumper...very happy with it! Thanks!!!!!!!! I get a ton of positive comments about it!!!

 

Yes veru true. I was a bit upset when mine came out and tires ate them bc I didnt have any fog lights in for two weeks after bumper was installed. I kinda had no choice but after doing it and getting over some stuff being exposed I really like the look. Looks like a machine. lol. I live in FL and this time of year we get heavy rains. I've had no issues with any wires being in the elemenets. I also installed hids in my headlights with piaa 510's in the bumper. All wires are loomed with heatshrink connections. I work in the marine industry and always overkill with waterproofing wires. I totally understand you reasoning not to trim them but thought i'd throw this out there for ya. I probably would've done what your gonna do if I wasnt on the highway when they blew out and got eaten by my 34'' tires.

 

I want my truck on their website!!! lol. Yours looks pretty darn good!

 

So, i don't have a 2011 or less Taco but for some reason I still read every dagum word in this thread lol.. These things look pretty pimp. I actually like the wrap around bar .

Sadly, i read all this to see if I could get the inside scoop on when the 2012 one would be released but it wasn't mentioned :/

Congrats Brian on the win! Maybe you can ask them when the 2012 is coming out since they like you and everything

 

I would like to see if this bumper would actually fit a 2012. I know the grille is different and all, but are the bumper mounting bolts still the same?

 

Center area below grille is different, that's bout it. Under headlights and fender levels are same. Bolt patterns are same .

 

Thanks Tyler...Good to know for future swaps. It might not look as good with the grille, but I don't care...I'm not going for "Street Queen" looks

 

I'm sure a hand sander and a cut off wheel will make it fit....

 

Here is our standard bumper mounted on a 2012, from a post on our Facebook page:



Here is a sneak peek of our 2012 version:

 

Looks good Sarah...! The LED lights look freaky on the white truck. Very similar to some that I've installed in sunglass/watch display cases.

 

Bumper came in...now out for powder coating...more waiting

 

When is the APEX front bumper for the first gen tacoma going to be available for purchase?

 

Within the next few weeks.

 

Got mine ordered and the wait is killing me!!
