Aluminum bumper options for 2nd gen

IMO pelfreybilt has the best bumpers on my bucket list for sure

 

I have the full hoop aluminum plate bumper from palfrey and love it. awesome clearance, light weight, and it just makes the truck look pretty effin sweet

 

Everyone go to this thread and bug the OP to do aluminum https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ath-fab-12-15-front-bumpers.521370/

 

Thank you for adding us to the list. Here are a few shots of our aluminum bumpers.


Here are a few shots of our Tacoma bumpers and aluminum.

Our aluminum bumpers start off with a 1in thick shackle upright that ties into the rest of the bumper. So when you pull from the 1in thick shackle you pull from the whole bumper.

 

SOS just had a tax sale and I bought one. Looking forward to getting it.

 

I have been very happy with my CBI Moab 2.0 in aluminum....

Sorry to get back to you so late! If you could call or email the office, the guys can send you some pics of the Aluminess rear bumper with swing outs....Thanks! aluminess@sbcglobal.net or 619-449-9930

 

Anyone know the weight of the CBI Moab 2.0 Aluminum bumper? Website lists 100lbs. But I think that is for the metal version? I am trying to put together a weight comparison for bumpers. So far I have:
All-Pro: 58 lbs
Pelfreybilt: 60 lbs
Demello: estimated 50-60lbs
CBI Moab 2.0: ???

Feel free to add to the list. Thanks.

 

CBI used to have a catalog with all that info but I seen they’ve updated their website. The aluminum version is approximately half the weight of the steel.

 

I've had my SOS aluminum front bumper on 2 different trucks now. I still love it! Great clearance, around 65 pounds, great fit, and beefy.

 

Here's one from left-field: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/pronghorn-mfes-tacoma.403871/

Some folks think these are ugly, but they are ugly in a military/commercial kind of way to me. They are also really well thought out and modular. However, they are expensive, and they never moved forward with a matching rear bumper so I canceled my plans to buy one.

Oh, and Pelfreybilt went bankrupt, and if the internet is to be believed it was kind of ugly and some customers may have lost their money.

 

Any better pictures of the Tacoma version?

 

Here's a link to the actual site, but they haven't updated it since 2015 and it still mostly has shots of the prototype without side skirts: http://pronghorngear.com/alpha-tacoma-aluminum-bumper/

The jeep guys love these, but I don't think they have sold too many Tacoma bumpers because it's hard to find other pictures on the internet. The fact that they pretty much abandoned the page and never came through with a rear bumper is also telling.

 

Was really hoping they would have a front receiver option but its not listed. An aluminum front bumper with a receiver is all I want for my truck at this point.... I know aluminess makes them but I just can't stomach the aesthetics.

 

Anyone running a Demello aluminum front bumper? I'd appreciate if you share your experiences. I'm inching towards pulling the trigger on one. Thank you.

 

@sawbladeduller Which bumper is that?

 

@excorcist Did you find an Aluminess alternative?

I'm looking for the same thing as you.
