TJM 2016+ TACOMA REAR BUMPER

Pretty clean looking front and rear bumpers. Rock sliders are pretty stealth and a different style.

 

Can anyone with this bumper, or the vendor, take a few paces backwards and take a picture of it installed on the truck. These close-ups don't really show the proportions, and I wonder of something is being hidden by that lack of full photos. Is is phat-assed or something?

I would appreciate more photos from a distance and other angles very much. Clearly it is not Australian, but Chinese, but gets full credit for a sleek design, so far. Great price, fantastic weight.......What is the catch??

 

Might not be made in Australia, but they sound Australian. LOL

I will repost for you.

 

Anyone get one? Mine will be here tomorrow, hopefully install this weekend.

 

Can anyone post up a copy of the install instructions? I just want to get an idea of the strength of the mounting for this bumper. I.e. which hitch bolts it uses and does it have integrated or bolt on brackets ect.

 

For those who have this, can you install it without the factory hitch? I have the tow package, but I want to "delete" it because I am always smacking it and it has even gotten hung up. I am 100% certain I do not want to tow anything, so this is a non-issue for me. I have seen at least one aftermarket bumper claiming that it required the factory hitch, so that's my concern.

I have a 17' TDOR with the TJM front bumper. I got it as soon as it was available. The design is great, finish is quite durable, and I have smacked the bumper numerous times, winched out of frame-suction mud, and bridle snatched once as well. Having no issues with it whatsoever, and I am hard on stuff. I am going to order this matching rear bumper tonight. I am guessing worst-case scenario, I can bust out my grinder and cut a nice 45 on the hitch to give it some clearance, as I am 100% not gonna tow anything ever.

 

No you can't install without the hitch.

 

TJM sucks.
Ordered rear bumper. Showed stock at retailer and TJM. Only after dropping the credit card did they say "oops" not in stock. 1 month wait.
Ordered horribly overpriced light kit. Winced at doing so but felt it was needed. Lights didn't show up with the order. Surprise surprise, they are not in stock and nobody bothered to let me know...dealer or TJM.

Anyone worked with their 'installation manual' ?? It sucks. Real bad sucks. Other companies do installation videos..not these guys.

If I had to do over again..I wouldn't have and purchased from a company that has their act together. These guys don't.

 

Hey, I have a set of those lights around somewhere. In the middle of finishing the inside of my garage so I'll have to dig for them. If you're interested pm me. I didn't have any major issues installing the rear bumper? Think the worst part was removing the factory pos.

 

Did you ever get this info? I am looking to see the bracket that comes with this bumper so I can see if the 2 bolt configuration for my 2019 SR WITHOUT towing package would work:

 

It seems Ca Tuned Off Road doesn't sell these bumpers any more but I've seen them around the web. However, I've seen $200+ in shipping fees and the lighting kit also north of $200. Has any one (or more) of you picked this bumper up recently that has the lighting kit and shipping included, yet still be an affordable price ($500-$600)? If not, where might a guy find some LEDs that fit for a more reasonable price?

Thanks all!

 

Cleaning out the garage and came across the led lights for this rear bumper. Anyone interested in them?

 

3mm is kinda thin if you ask me. I won't bite. 5mm and I'll think about it.
