    Hey all,

    I have a 2017 taco, 5 speed manual. It's stock and doesn't have a tow hitch. I'm looking to replace the rear bumper and maybe the front, but the critical point is to get a toe hitch installed.

    I was thinking custom welding, but thought i would ask the community for any advice.

    It's a work truck. I'm not trying to spend extra money on the job. I also need to maintain maximum clearance for difficult terrain.

    A front bumper for an extra brush/deer guard would be nice. Located in NW OR.

    Yes please!
    I have the RCI one and it has an unrated hitch under the license plate. You might be able to find some one that replace their bumper and ditched the tow hitch part like I did.

    Most I’ve found for aftermarket rear bumpers don’t give ratings. However places like Brute Force state not rated but will handle anything stock can. That is one of the few I’ve found that even make a statement like that. Link below so you can see what I mean.
