    Anyone here have any input on either of these 2 rear bumpers. They look exact same except one has BA cut out on the side. The first one I’m considering is Body Armor TC-2963. Then I found an ECOTRIC ET-240-Z1 that looks the exact same other than not having BA cut out of the sides and is like $180 cheaper. The cheaper one also comes with the led lights while the BA one doesn’t. Any input on either of these is gladly appreciated

    Oh look, another mod....

    I just compared both bumpers, and you're right, the only difference (unless I missed something?) is the price. I guess having a better known name brand costs you $150! Kind of like buying name brand cereal vs store brand cereal. You pay for advertising.

    That’s kind of what I’m thinking as well, just wanted to see if anyone on here has had either of the 2 so I could decide if the BA was worth the extra $$$

    Here are pics of the 2 0C430399-6F50-4646-A2F5-EFD6C94D48E7.jpg91E3AA51-6D07-4192-86AE-C40354B75C73.jpg and the Body Armor one is on the blue truck as you could see BA on the side.

    @Goodnasty does that have a place for the factory hitch plug to go?

    Based on the reviews of the Ecotric I would get the BA instead. I just looked on Amazon and they are only $100 more right now for the Taco and there are only 8 left too.
