Trail Gear rear bumper

The Trail Gear rear tube bumper for 1st gen. tacomas

i know its a well known name around the forums n such and i KNOW some people have gotta have this bumper but i barely see it at all!

if you have it do you like it?

what have you heard about it?

pics in action? poser shots?


thanks,

Jon

 

Here's some info on them in comparison with others.
For the price, it's not bad. I'm just concerned that it's not stout enough for towing. I'd reinforce it by adding a cross member just behind the hitch receiver. I also prefer a little step like the marlin Crawler and the All Pro bumper.

IMO, 4xInnovations is one of the best aftermarket bumpers.

 

Does the stock spare fit with the 4xInnovations bumper? I REALLY like it.

 

thanks for the feedback.

i really like the looks of the trail gear bumper the most. i don't need a hitch for any towing purposes but it does worry me how its inter-graded with the bumper. id only need the hitch for recovery points. ALSO the price for the TG bumper is very attractive. 199 is a great deal.

i like the 4xinnovations bumper in terms of structure and design for strength. it looks very solid. but also more expensive.

i just dont want to order the TG bumper and have it get bent or have the hitch break off out on the trails. that would royally piss me off

 

I'm looking for a rear tube bumper as well...member beefed taco makes a basic rear tube for i think around 280, and has a real nice rear tube wrap around for a little more money... only heard great things

 

link?

I think you'll be fine with the trail gear bumper. if you're worried about it tweaking during a hard recovery, it would be easy to to reinforce the hitch area on the back side.

 

thanks i found it,

thanks, i found it lol. appreciate the link

yea. i could reinforce it myself...

 

the beefed is ok but it doesnt have the wrap around or the hitch. but it is very beefy

 

If you look at post 9 in his thread, you'll see the wrap around. You can also check out his website.

 

thanks for pointing that out to me. i didnt catch that. i like that wrap around alot
