    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg So I'm finally getting caught up on orders and trying to gauge intrest in an all aluminum front bumper.
    Some have seen my prototype bumper I built a while back based off my 100 series bumper,
    It will be similar to this one with some minor tweeks to better fit the Tacoma.
    I have been prototyping an aluminum option for the 100 and if enough intrest I will do the aluminum for the Tacoma as well
    The main bumper is a 3 piece modular design with connecting recovery points that tie directly to the frame, this allows many bolt on options, steel/aluminum hybrid options, custom powder coat options and saves on shipping. Also allows for a easy one person installation.
    The weight will be super light! About 30 lbs light.
    Here are some pics of the prototype bumper and some of the 100 series bumper to show some of the different options.

    If the intrest is there this may be the next product released along with the bed rack.
    Thanks for looking!
    I'll post more pics later,
    Having troubles uploading.

    Price point? And that thing is gorgeous.

    I like it very much. I don't need a bumper, but I think other will.

    Sorry, not yet, hopefully soon though.
    The rack development has been taking up most of my time. Here are some more teaser pics. IMG_0048.jpgIMG_0060.jpgIMG_0031.jpg

    Screw it! Give me the one on the teaser pic truck. I’m a combat Vet and well, surely you’d sell it to me, right? :hattip::p:)

    Also would like to know it is still a possibility and what the timeline would look like, also would this be made for 2nd gens as well or just 3rd? And any possibility of an option for a front receiver in place of winch mount?

    Sorry for the lack of updates!
    Been swamped with landcruiser orders.
    We are getting close, I have the new plasma table up and running and a full time cad guy now, expect to see some finalized products in the coming months.
    @excorcist no 2nd gen in the works but would like to at some point.

    @Dissent86 Looking forward to this bumper, and hopefully those aluminum rear bumper cap replacements, becoming available to the market in the not too distant future. If I ever go back to a Softopper, it’ll be hard not to hit you up for a rack system.

    Your skids look like they’re gonna be sick too. Just add some sliders and you’ll have a full line of quality Tacoma offerings.
