    @Culturekid My buddy @Man of Steel TRD has the TJM Steel bumper and I was just checking it out the other night. It's a solid, well built looking piece that he put on after getting rear ended twice and that would certainly be my recommendation if youre looking for a replacement.

    It was a pretty good response.

    Also who says you can’t off-road a 2wd without “extensive mods?” It’s all relative your definition of off-roading. Maybe to the OP, that’s just fire roads. Keep in mind we all use our vehicles in drastically different ways. Just food for thought.

    No where did I say you can't off road. 4x4 is a drivetrain, just as 2wd is.

    So the literal meaning of turning a 2wd into 4wd?


    Smart comment then? Because I think we all know the OP meant 4x4 as in off-roading, a common term used in a lot of places.

    Not sure anyone knows your meaning of 7, unless it’s a reddit millennial thing?


    And yes, positive OP was using 4x4 as interchangeable with off-roading. Equally sure other places do too.

    Some - Will list later - has lift and new wheels and rubber
    TJM. The one I saw was a nice simple good quality unit. Had D Ring and places for back up lights.

    The only thing I would do is send it in for Armor (Line-X) as his after 18 months started to have powder coat issues. If you can get it uncoated I would go that way.
