Pending first impressions of the “Body Amor 4x4: Dessert Series front Bumper”...

Attached is my Cinderella White 3rd Gen 2018 Toyota Tacoma Pro with the B.A. 4x4 Front Bumper

Shoutout to @Texoma of “Triple C Chop Shop” for installation. Fast, knowledgeable, and professional, based out of Austin Texas, he can tackle your off-road tacoma needs. Give him a PM and see what he can do for you today !

 

Dang, dude! Looking good. Is it winch compatible?

 

Is it vanilla or chocolate flavor?

 

Looks good, but did you have trouble cutting it? By some closeup parts in the pics, the cut looks rough. If it really is- you could maybe hide it with white or black trim moulding right above the bumper.

 

The bumper comes with a winch plate and attached shows the cut out for the winch, currently my license plate taking up room blocking the slot

 

Sweet. When are you getting a winch?

 

Hey @OnHartung'sRoad, the cut was easy enough to do, the angle gives it that rough look, I have trim edge on the way from Amazon.com. Thanks for the comment !

 

Haha, French vanilla bean

 

I figure by the end of this coming June, I’ll pick up a 9.5k winch from 4wp.com

 

Badass! ​

Looking at getting this bumper for my 16 TRDOR. Got in a fender bender and the body shop can't get the front bumper right to save their lives. After the 4th trip back to fix their mistakes, I'm giving up and going after market.

You having any issues with it flexing and bumping into the body at any point?

How adjustable are these things? Any issues with alignment or uneven gaps?

 

So, about $900 plus lights and install? Not too bad. Might be saving up for this. So many deer around here it feels like a matter of time before I hit one. Been wanting the added protection of a solid steel bumper. Only trouble is without a grill guard there's still considerable vulnerability. But I haven't seen a grill guard bumper that I like yet.

 

You don’t have TSS just get a hidden winch bumper with a hoop.

 

That's what I'll probably do. Most of the bumpers with hoops I've seen stick out a few inches more than stock which means it won't fit in my garage. Eh, a necessary trade off I suppose.

 

Reviving this thread.

Anyone have one of these on a Taco with TSS?

Does it interfere with TSS?
