    @RelentlessFab is wrapping things up on the '12-'15 bumper and will be designing something for the earlier 2nd gens soon. I wanted to keep the weight down when installing my winch and keep a relatively stock look and I have to say I like where this is going. I'm sure once it's done Eric will get the pricing and options posted up on their vendor page (already a thread started there:2012-15 Sting Ray Lo-pro bumper?).

    Looking forward to seeing it in person (and hoping there is a break of warm weather soon so I can get some bed liner on it).

    Thanks Eric!

    Similar in that the grey plastic section is removed but I think the lines on this are better. The bump-out follows the lines on the bumper cover while the usoffroad does not. I also like the cutouts and fill plate on the Relentless design.

    Sub'd. This is exactly the type bumper I have been wanting. Was really considering the C4Fab lo pro for my 14'. If he can beat the price I'm definitely down for one. Looks great! Any chance he could add the loop similar to the C4Fab bumper. Anyways, very interested when pricing becomes available. Are the letters taped on the front or spot welded or what? Like it.

    No hoop, left it too slim and tucked to fit one.
    The letters are part of the grille piece, it is one CNC cut piece of steel with the profile, diamond pattern, and letters.

    Cool.

    The grill part could be deleted to allow install of lights. Like some Baja Designs OnX, as an example.

    Receiver option, possibly?

    You're right, I'm considering offering a non-grille version with just the main winch tray. And then one could potentially bolt an LED bar to the top lip there.
    Receiver hitch... maybe. I think I could notch out the lower angled portion and weld one down there under the winch tray

    I like it and as I'm in the market for some skids and eventually a bumper option I may have to give them a better look. For some reason it's harder to find skids for a 4cyl

    Exhaust is different, may affect a Tcase skid. We have a version that should fit the 4cyl though. :cool:

    This that and the other thing.
    raptor style grille piece instead of the diamond pattern, with no lettering would be bad ass option imo. many people have the raptor style grill with lettering on it already *cough* I'm planning on getting one*cough* so I think it would match up nicely :cool:

    Cool, this will be fun to watch. Do your current front skids mate up at the lower edge of these?

    does the IFS skid line up with the drain plug for the engine oil? I know I've seen most others are based off the V6 and they are apparently different

    I'm a buyer without TACOMA letters. I would rather keep my 30" lightbar than have the letters.

    Nice product! I'll consider it either way.
