Oh Deer...my 2012 was molested by a deer...

Talk to Eric at Relentless for the only bumper custom made for the 2012.
OZ gave you the link to it.

Relentless '12 on a 5 lug.

 

I love my Shrockworks bumper. As many on this forum would agree though, the lag time is just horrible. I think the AllPro is slightly less expensive than the Shrockworks (not by much) and you're guarenteed atleast a solid waiting period (and not a "it'll be there in 4 months" when it arrives 6 months later).

Look into getting a rear bumper too. If you're one for hitting deers, then trees will jump out at you like crazy when on the trail (even when you have a back up camera).

 

@SAIRS: Collision repair is not the same as an upgrade, namely you can't wait too long. Call all the vendors for current lead times. Relentless is about 5 months according to Eric's post. My All-Pro bumper took about 2 months. Since ARB is built in volume, you may find one in stock somewhere ready to ship. CBI may be fast, too (made my sliders in 3 weeks).

 

My 2012 Plate bumper will be ready very soon. I am still making changes and massagin here and there. Here is a shot at one of the mock ups. There is a slot on top for a 20" LED bar.

 

Does the OP have 5-6 months to wait for a bumper from Relentless?

 

Is there another vendor making 2012 plate bumpers ?

 

I expect to have my design wrapped up in a couple weeks. I can bang out a few a week after that. I dont know what to expect for demand yet so it's hard for me to predict what the lead times are ging to be. I know a lot of the vendors get slammed and it pushes out the lead times. I'm the new guy so my lead times are still short.

 

So did you throw the deer in your bed and take him home for dinner?

 

i love my relentless

 

That was the lead time he put out on his vendor page. I have nothing against Relentless, I just wanted to make sure the OP realized it isn't a week long build type of thing.

Thanks!

 

SDHQ prerunner bumper

Re-sub'd

Somehow my phone unsubscribed me....

 

Eric ships or you can pick-up.

 

this guy looks legit http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/fa...famous-fabrication-2ng-gen-front-bumpers.html

 

I think most bumpers designed for 2005-2011 will fit. Only difference is a large gap between the grille and bumper. It's easy enough to fill with an LED light bar or a piece of mesh.

 

Talk to Tyler about it here. He is about to finish his new design for the 2012's. Gunna be BA!!!
