Vote for which bumper or your option

well as many of you know. I lost my bumper last night. I’m currently looking at the 2 below. Same price. I’m conflicted because this is my everyday vehicle and don’t want to murder my remaining decent mileage. The body armor is 200 pounds but more practical. The nfab is like 45 lbs. let me knows your thoughts. Looking to not really spend much more than the 700 these go for. Thanks!

 

I personally don’t care for either but if I had to choose one of the 2 I’d pick the body armor bumper. The nfab bumper isn’t going to hold up to a hit if that’s your goal, and looks goofy.

I’d personally look into a fab shop like SOS off-road, pelfrybuilt, maybe bruteforcefab, or something else: many of the vendors on here offer sub ~700 bumpers that are of better quality and look better.

 

Option 3 but I would do no hoop on top

 

Hands down the winner. Hybrids look awesome.

 

Body armor, like fab fours front, are super fugly.

 

Option three is my favorite of the group

 

Fab fours/body armor designer: “What’s that? Customers like the look of a railroad tie plastered to the front end? Say no more boss.”

 

#3
1&2 are..imo.

 

Pelfrey

 

the #2 bumper and eBay headlights look terrible

 

#3. The first two are ugly.

 

I like ICI Magnum bumpers personally

 

OP doesn't want to spend much more than 700 and someone recommends a 900 dollar base, uncoated Pelfrey lol. I looked at the nfab for my truck, but I grew up a So Cal desert kid and have always preferred the tube "baja" style, even though I get it isn't ideal for everything.

 

I like my nfab bumper

 

I have tagged deer, coyotes, and pushed fallen trees out of the way with the arb, and kept on rolling. Sure it's scratched to hell, but its not bent or deformed, and it actually protects the hood and headlights. I can't stand bumpers that just go up to expensive plastic and then stop. Makes no sense. If that nfab had a headlight and grill option......I would pounce on that.

 

Pefreybilt 100%, I've got their plate front bumper with center hoop and it's fantastic. if it were between the other two I'd go with Nfab, personally I think the body armor bumper looks horrible

 

option 3.. 100%

 

Demello is the way to go

 

^ Came here to post this, the Demello bumper is awesome. Also At The Helm I believe it’s called makes a great front bumper.

Edit: Here’s the thread for At The Helm’s bumper, my favorite: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ath-fab-12-15-front-bumpers.521370/
