    Another option is Off Camber Fabrications. I'm currently running their rear bumper: http://offcamberfabrications.com/index.php?page=products&part=183100 it retains the stock towing package, BSM sensors, and rear cross traffic. I did purchase this through 4wheelparts.com :
    $810 Off Camber Fabrications Rear Bumper - 183100
    http://www.4wheelparts.com/Bumpers-...0.aspx?t_c=64&t_s=26&t_pt=3486&t_pn=OCF183100 after returning the Fab Four bumper that stated it could retain all the sensors but really couldn't (
    $1,110 Fab Fours Rear Bumper (Black) - TT16-W3651-1
    http://www.4wheelparts.com/Bumpers-...?t_c=64&t_s=26&t_pt=3486&t_pn=FFITT16-W3651-1 ). Keep in mind that Off Camber Fabrications is based in Canada so shipping can be an issue took 4wheelparts about 1.5 months to receive the bumper. I like the bumper and it's much better then the plastic bumper that comes on our trucks.

    Here is their front bumper: http://offcamberfabrications.com/index.php?page=products&part=183199 and on 4wheelparts.com

    I love that fab four rear bumper. I wish it had a tire rack and swing out. that thing looks like a truck bumper. Does it have the BSM? or just back up sensor?

    Like the rear, not so much the front. The front seems...unfinished.

    The rear looks good, the front does look unfinished. Needs more depth maybe? Looks good for crawling though

    Have you received your Off Camber bumper yet? I want to confirm that the BSM functionality is retained.

    Good Job making another bumper alternative for us to consider. Love the creativity and the skills required to create a different design.

    Looks like Buzz approves of at least the rear bumper.

    I like them good job on not being just like the rest of the bumpers out for these.

    Just found this thread. I’m looking to get both these bumpers for my truck. Are you still liking the front and rear? And do the factory fog lights shine through or do you really need to buy those after market lights? Thanks.

    Hey Norman, got my front bumper coming in with two sets of Body Armor LED pods. When installing the pods did you integrate into the factory fog circuit? Or dead end the fog switch and add in a separate switch circuit? And if you let Body Armor have thier hands on the install maybe you don’t know but could refer me to one of the guys from the Body Armor team that did
    Thanks

    FYI everyone- I asked BA about the weight of this front bumper and the type of winch recommended: "Our Tacoma desert series weighs approximately 125 pounds. For this bumper I would suggest Warn VR10 GEN II 10000lb Winch. You just need a winch where you can relocate the black motor box. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns."
