bumpers for 1st gens

Beautiful

How heavy is it and cost ?

 

Elite is no longer around. Mine cost $905 i think during a groupbuy with a light hoop and TACOMA cut out.

around 100lbs i think.

 

@lotuscupcar
I saw this while running around earlier and had to get some pics. Very, very nicely built Taco. The front bumper looks great, very clean looking. The lines all match well with the truck. I was impressed. Might be worth checking into. Impressed with the quality of the sliders and love the almost paint matched undercoating along the sides as well. Wonder if the owner is on here?

 

Wow love it

Would love to know details on the mods !!!!!!

 

Yeah, maybe somebody knows who the owner is and can fill us in? From a quick glance, you could see the coilovers and Total Chaos upper control arms. Very stout, but not extreme look, the look is right about how I would say Tacos should've come from the factory. And I don't throw that around lightly, being a diehard Yota purist.

 

I believe that is an AllPro apex bumper but I could be wrong

 

Very well could be right, I did see a big AP logo on bumper and the sliders. I've never looked into much of the aftermarket stuff for Tacomas.

 

So about $1200 or so

 

Oh wow, they're very proud of that bar. It is one of the cleaner bars, that's for sure.

 

The truck you posted has about $2200 of armor on it

 

Really? What do sliders run for tacos? On my cruisers they were always close to a grand or so. And rear bars, fuhgedaboutit, 2k+. I guess looking closer, I'll bet the taco can get away with tube armor. Cruisers are heavy ass pigs, as you're full aware of, and prolly require more substantial armor.

 

$1200 front bumper
$500 rear bumper
$400 slider

 

Gotcha, not too bad, all things considered.

 

Of course a lot more can be spend

There are $1400 rear Taco bumpers too

I was just speaking about the ones you pictured

 

Cool, I think I'm picking up on how you think.
Do it right and do it once.
That's my style of thinking as well, even though my income may not allow me to do it as frequently as you can.
I'm glad you're not shy about it but not proud of it either, you're a cool dude Lotus.

 

That is an Allpro Apex bumper.

 

I know you've been there done that with first gens and stuff. What's your take on this bumper, not necessarily the looks of it, but the function, etc.?

 

At first glance I thought that was an ebay front bumper lmao , sad that I think of that before all pro...

 

Biggest down side is you HAVE to run Allpros skids with it. But it still works just fine. @Squeaky Penguin has one and would be more insightful on this. He has used and abused it plenty.

 

Aight, good to know.
