    Oh no I am not denying that even pieced bumper may get bend out of shape. I just think that pieced bumper is going to be easier to fix afterward.
    Plus thats why I want to gauge what does actually bends and figure out what needs reinforcing.

    This AP/relentless debate is just the next fad in front bumpers. I would be willing to bet the majority of people that have the AP/Relentless bumpers dont even do trails that will put them nose down resting on their bumpers. And if you think you might, get an arb.

    Excuse me because im new to TW, but everything ive seen by all pro seems to be pretty sturdy. Doesn't there bumper have braces on the front plate to make the whole bolt on deal stronger?

    I have never seen the back side of Relentless bumpers but in his GB post looks like its just a bunch of cnc plates welded together with no bracing? Wouldn't that be less strong overall?

    Please fill me in on this :confused: :eek:

    I have been very impressed by the strength of my allpro bumper so far. Had it for a year and it has taken some serious abuse flawlessly.

    I have an ARB as well and that's pretty much my story..I really don't understand why they didn't put recovery tabs on it.....unless...they just know Tacoma's don't get stuck?

    I got picked up an All-Pro for free. The guy hit a car with it and bent the passenger side wing. I can jump on the All-Pro and make it flex. Its gonna be a bitch to fix because its soo flexy.

    Not cool dude. I'd like to see if you could go from 185 to 0 in half a second...

    First of all, I don't ever plan on going 185 to zero.
    Second of all, Nascar is NOT a sport. It's a bunch of rednecks turning left at 185mph and whoever can't turn fast enough or decides to "roughplay" with another vehicle at 185mph ends up like pink floyds #1 hit.

    Sorry your butthurt but nascar is ghey and shouldn't even be allowed as a sport.
    On with the show.

    It can be called customization.
    I just need something to start with and ALL pro looks like good starting point.
    None of the bumpers on the market are perfect, otherwise they would have to cost much more money. I have a welder, cutting wheels and I am not afraid to use them :D

    EDIT: I am not saying other bumpers are not good. I just like things my own way;)
