    Anyone actually hit shit with some of these bumpers ? I've bounced my second gen bumpers off many trees and rocks over the years thinking of getting into a 3rd gen just wondering if the full replacement bumpers can take some hits cause the pics and angles of the front end are decieving make it look kinda flimsy

    I had a C4 Fabrication full bumper put on for $150 at a local body shop... thankfully I got turned away by bigger shops who only dealt with OEM or OEM style equiptment who would’ve charged much more...

    Interesting, I'm assuming nothing happened to the truck. Honestly the biggest hurtle for me is the front end I'm not the biggest fan but shits going sideways with the second gen looking at picking up a 3rd gen and swapping most of my suspension etc over since they're the same

    I have the RCI bumper and I've bounced off the corner on a tree, also hit a lot of rocks. In Moab I hit so hard everyone thought my airbags were about to go off. No visible damage other than scratches

    Looks like yours is not a full replacement bumper which is stronger. I believe what @TYetti was talking about is the full replacement bumpers that go all the way up to the headlights, those can get pretty Flimsy up around the lights.

    Any chance the rear bumper will incorporate the BSM sensors?

    Better put that in the BST section if you're trying to sell it. The mods love to give out 3 day bans for violating their BST rules. Just a heads up.

    Aren't the blind spot mirrors sensors built into the mirrors....??

    I think you mean the RCTA sensors in the stock rear bumper...and why can they just drill a hole and mount the thing in there?

    Man those arb's just look like they were made for a larger truck, overly large and out of scale. Looks like they reconfigured the mounts to fit the taco.
