Aluminum bumper options

Thinking hard about an aluminum front bumper. Daily driver rig with some overland camping on weekends. Nothing to hardcore, so I think the lighter weight aluminum will be beneficial

 

Theres a bunch out there just have to find one you like.

 

I have a Pelfreybilt Aluminum bumper coated in Line-X. I always wanted aluminum. I've pulled on it twice without issue although I'd like to reinforce the brackets.

 

here is a picture of one option: the all pro apex aluminum bumper on a '12-'15 second gen

 

I've done some searching for aluminum front bumper options for the 2nd gen Tacoma.
Here's what I found:

Currently, I think the Victory bumper looks the best.

 

Did you do the line x yourself? That could definitely save some cash, wondering what the prep would be for the aluminum

 

What saved me cash was buying it used! LOL. The original owner got it from Pelfreybilt. I hunted it down for 2 years and finally found a front and rear just 5 hours away! The Line-X is really nice. The prep is similar to steel just a different adhesion promotor. If you want aluminum I say def hunt around and go for it!
