Bumper Cap Massacre!

Once again my rear driver side bumper cap was cracked and partially torn off by someone who hasn't figured out how to park their vehicle without damaging someone else's property yet!
What can I say? When you park on the street in any big city it happens.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a reasonably low profile rear bumper cap alternative ?
I would like something that I could install without having to do any alterations to my 2023 tacoma trd sport.
What about something for the front bumper as well?
Again I would like to keep everything as low profile as possible.
As long as it protects the truck from what seems to be the inevitable.
Thanks,any suggestions would be appreciated

 

Sorry, have you considered a steel bumper(before tariff)

 

Whatever bumper you decide on, post #22 has a good writeup getting the damaged parts off. Post #5 has an exploded view of parts.

Life in the Big Apple I guess! I could never live there. You probably either need to armor up or just live with this sort of crap. Good luck.

 

Greg.......which steel bumper? Can you be more specific?

 

try fleabay or scamazon , some come already painted
there are not many metal bumpers made that can work with the sensors if u have em

 

I’d look at https://www.extremeterrain.com.
The Barricade is 3mm steel and the Fortis is 6 gauge which would be 0.19inches
Or

3/16 is pretty hefty

I’d choose tacomabeast for the pure thickness

 

The two that I would consider are:

4X Innovations

I've had 2 4x Innovations rear bumpers on 4Runners. They are made well, and solid. One advantage I see is that for your use, the 4X Innovations bumper might stick out a little bit more, and in doing so, offer a little better stand-off protection against drivers who park by braille.

Both bumpers are not the cheapest out there, but, they are also not the cheapest out there. There are plenty of aftermarket bumpers that look like they were made by AI and have a cheap look to them.

 

What about rubber? if you glue thin layer of rubber all over the bumper. I would wait for US made bumpers, hopefully they start making them soon because chinese steel will cost a lot

 

Hmmmm?
Nice finds ! I appreciate all your suggestions. I'm gonna take a good look at all of them
Any front bumper suggestions?
