Tube bumper over stock front bumper?

Anybody run a truck like this? I'd love to see some pics. I want to make a low-ish profile tube bumper to protect my stock bumper/grille, and mount a small winch somewhere. Everything I see on Google has the step bumper removed and a big heavy steel one in its place. Don't really want all that extra weight on the front of my truck. TIA!

 

Welcome to Tacoma World!

It is your truck if you have the skills to make this work go for it.

I have never seen or heard of it done that does not mean it has not happened.

Please post up your mounting brackets when you design them.

Good Luck !
