    That looks pretty cool, but I have a feeling that bar would get in the way of a lower mounted TSS.

    Working without issue on normal mounted TSS. Probably wouldn't be an issue if ordered without bull bar, which is an optional accessory.

    Where did you buy yours at? I’m wanting one and love how flush that one is.

    Got it on Amazon for like 60 bucks I think. It sits completely flush and doesn't really operate in a bug deflector type capacity. More of a rock guard for front of the hood. And for looks.

    I cannot stand the look of full-width, welded flat plate front bumpers on these trucks. I really wish someone would make a stamped bumper, something like AEV's Jeep bumpers. For that reason, I will go with something small like the SSO or Victory units that replace the black plastic piece. Shrockworks is local to me and they're supposedly prototyping something as well, so I'm in no hurry.

    Do you have a link to it? I’ve been searching and keep coming up short.

    I’m recommending 4x innovations mini front bumper. You do have to cut. But the cuts are not near as crucial as some of the other styles out there. Very sturdy winch bumper with an optional cut for led lights if you must. Any cut you make on the bumper is covered by the new bumper. I’ll get pics later

    Found a picture of my 4xinnovations mini front bumper. I have confidence they did it right. The d ring mounts are not just simply attached to the bumper. They where pushed through and have a large area of weld that makes them sturdy directly mounting to the frame. Comparing this bumper aide by side to SOS Offroad’s I would choose 4xinnovations again.

    Yes… and I highly recommend them. If you don’t, you will tweak the frame tabs.

    I used these: Toyota Tacoma (2016+) Front Bumper Support Brackets by Backwoods Adventure Mods. They were well made and took minimal modifications (I think I took a file to one of the holes to open it up and make it a little easier to install).
