    Has anyone put a winch on this bumper? I’ve had my bumper taken off and the bamf sitting on the floor for months.
    Have a warn evo 10. Control box on top won’t fit. Searched around forever and found warn longer cables. Bought those. No bracket for the box and can’t tell where to install it in the bay

    tandem off road has a mint that goes behind the grill where the horn is. Thinking about that now. Getting the bumper on was east but the winch is giving me problems.
    Anyone have pics how they ran their cables and box?

    would like to see and know myself. I bought the BAMF hybrid, currently on the way. Also have a Warn Evo 10 sitting on stand by.

    I have a smittybilt 10k in mine. I put the control box attached to the winch on the passenger side of the truck. It also makes a controller easy to plug in if your winch controller is wired

    Thanks for the reply. Are you saying the control box is still attached for on the winch? They are similar size winches and I don’t see mine fitting. It looks like top mount is only option

    Interesting. When I eyed it on top doesn’t look like it will fit. Then j lee said it wouldn’t. I would think the smitty and warn are about same size. Maybe I need to try to install with it on top

    Hello all, my hybrid bumper should be arriving Monday. I am not super mechanically inclined. I was reading the instructions and it’s a little clear to me but it’s also not. I was wondering if I could apply this C4 hybrid bumper install to the BAMF and install the exact same way? The video goes into depth and makes it pretty easy. Thanks guys for any info.

    What's up Tacoma fam,

    I live in the British Virgin Islands on Tortola and recently got a 2013 Tacoma TRD Pro 6 Speed Manual. I LOVE IT!!

    Luckily I got full coverage because within 2 weeks of driving it my breaks went out (leak in line) going down a (STEEP AF) hill. Slid about 100' sideways then tapped the guard rail on the front right side of the bumper then managed to save it before the next switchback. Looks like insurance will cover the bumper and slight body work so I have been shopping around for an aftermarket steel bumper. I didn't want a big bulky one so I have been shopping around. I liked the C4 ones but then I came across these... They look sick and would want it powder coated (C4 doesn't do) and cant get that done here on the rock. So I am very interested and very close to ordering one.

    Couple questions;
    - Approx. how much to ship to Miami (where my drop ship company is)
    - Will my factory skid plate bolt on? Worth doing?
    - How long is the turn around these days? If I ordered today how long to ship?
    - If you ad to choose between a light bar and pod lights which would you choose? I use my fog lights almost all of the time here...

    Thanks for the help! Looking forward to placing an order!!

    -Bobo

    Couple questions;
    - Approx. how much to ship to Miami (where my drop ship company is) Powder coated freight is in the $400 range to south FL
    - Will my factory skid plate bolt on? Worth doing? It will mount but hang way in front so I would ditch it.
    - How long is the turn around these days? If I ordered today how long to ship? We are about 8 to 10 weeks out maybe a little longer powder coated items always tend to take longer.
    - If you ad to choose between a light bar and pod lights which would you choose? I would do fogs first you will end up using them more often.

    Awesome. Thanks for the prompt reply!!

    What fog lights would you recommend? As I will be ditching my old bumper I assume the wires for the old ones will be able to wire to the new ones..?

    I have a pelfrey version, but basically very similar. I have a Smittybilt x20 with the control box on top. I had to push it as far forward as possible, and cut out and trim the center support bar a bit, but it fit... barely

    No we don't freight ship to Canada. international customers will need to set up their own freight.

    Contact a freight broker to import the items.

    Got the new bumper on last weekend. Very impressed with the fitment and fab work. The reinforcement brackets are super beefy. Going to have a lot more confidence winching with those on there.

    One thing to note - you may have to clean out some of the holes on the bumper/reinforcement brackets to get bolts to fit because the powder coat is THICK (not complaining). I had to clean out reinforcement bracket holes, the bolt holes on the inside of the bumper where the reinf. bracket connects to the bumper, and the fairlead mount holes.

    Went with a Warn Zeon 10k synthetic for the winch. Super quick install, didn't have to mess with the control box at all. The lower grill mount was barely hitting the control box, so I just ended up taking it out completely. Super clean fit and no rattle from the grill.

    Had a 30" RC dual row light bar laying around that I tried to throw on the bumper but the mounts were too close together. Didn't feel like messing with the powder cut from cutting, grinding and welding the mounts back on farther apart so I'm just going to order a skinnier light bar. Something to keep in mind when ordering bumper accessories.

    Can't wait to go beat on this thing! Thanks Jerry, you make one hell of a product. Rear bumper and HD shackle hangers are up next!

    My light bar is very snug. Almost to the point where doesn’t need the hardware to hold it in
    Any chance you have a picture of the box mounted without the lower brace bar on the grill?

    Does anyone have any advice for securing the bottom of your grille? Now that the OEM bumper is gone my only points of contact are the top of the grille but the bottom flaps and makes noises.
