CBI Offroad High Clearance Rear Bumper (updated pictures)

Yeah mine are sagging. I have stock Springs and Sumo Springs. I have the wheelers Offroad 3leaf pack headed my way as we speak. I hope it will get the rear higher than the front. I have 5100s at .85 upfront right now. With the RTT, two spares, sliders, and bumper I'm about 3/4 low in the rear. I'm crossing my fingers the 3 leaf pack will work as I am out of mod funds for the moment so for 150 I figured I'd give them a shot.

 

What cut-out? the CBI logo?

 

Yes. I hate cutting trips short due to a flat and only one spare. I usually am solo when I am out playing. If I was out with other guys and multiple rigs then I could see only one spare. This swing out now solves my biggest issue with the SB tacoma...I always lost much needed cargo space to pack my second spare.

 

Same here, I've been contemplating a trailer for longer trips to have rotopax, spare and RTT, but I might just go with this bumper to make everything simpler.

 

I give this bumper a

 

Yeah the logo.

It's fine, and it isn't as imposing as most, but I didn't see it in their pictures online.
It's just a personal thing, but I hate those logos. The main reason I kept looking at others was because I couldn't stand that huge "DO" cut out on another similar front bumper. I like most of what they do, so I bought front, rear, and sliders knowing the front winch panel would need to have the logo welded up.

Sure, they deserve some recognition... But give me a sticker or something.

So... Without making too much fuss, I'll just say that I guess I should have checked closer if it was an issue, and weld up the rear also if it bugs me enough.

 

Too each their own. with the swing out you can hardly see it when everything is closed up.

 

Here is the hidden reciever.

 

+1. There are several manufacturers out there I won't even consider simply due to the logos they carve out in their products. I always de-badge all aftermarket components, never run license plate frames or dealer stickers, etc. My vehicle is not to be a rolling bill board advertisement.

 

I need one of these bumpers but will wait till theyre on sale. I noticed regarding the hitch it says "not for towing" or "not weight rated" or something along those lines. Is that just a liability thing? Should tow anything the factory receiver does right?

Also I need to figure out how to keep rear camera and preferably sensors as well.

 

I believe it says "not load rated". I assume tbis is a liability thing. with that said I have zero fears towing with this. It is beefy.

 

OP @nevadabugle do you always carry 2 spares around with you?

 

Yes. Sometimes if I have long paved road trips or long periods with no dirt roads I will drop one. But besides that it is two tires for me always.

 

That's one of the appeals to me for a bumper mounted swing gate. Place to put 2nd spare without taking up space in the bed.

BTW. Nice looking bumper

 

That's why I got the swing arm. Short bed tacomas do not have enough room for a spare in the bed without sacrificing cargo space.

 

Is the swing arm removable in case I need to carry something with the bed down?

 

Yea he said it comes off easily by removing a few bolts

 

A few bolts and then a strong arm to get the hinge apart. It's definitely removable but I don't think you would want to do it just to haul a board home from the store.

 

I've been waiting to pull the trigger on a T3 high clearance from @CBI Offroad Fab , quarter panel damage and rr bumper got smashed by a degenerate driving a nissan 350z in freezing rain in park city. So figured I cut of the damage and upgrade. But you mention getting a 3 leaf pack for rear. I currently have a Leer topper (~200#s), and looking at a Alu-Cab rtt (~200#s), and full gear loads for week+ excursions can add weight rapidly....especially with fuel and water. Have you upgraded leafs?/ planned to upgrade all suspension?

 

I have a three leaf add a leaf and I run sumo springs. If I did it over I would install Dakars.
