    Seen this on Pintrest and was curious if anyone here has seen this before. Looks nice IMO.

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    The logo painted across the top looks like it says Balance. Balance Fabricating? Balance Off Road? Don't know.

    I know that, I was recommending him.

    Google image search pulls up Pro Comp wheels that you can't get a clear view but it's exactly right. Maybe ask the Toyota dealer that posted it on Pinterest.

    The hoops aren't bent, they look cut in to curves. It may 100% custom ... :notsure:

    It looks semi-similar to some of our bumpers, though it is not one. Looks even more like a Kennesaw/TAG bumper IMO.

    They seem to be out of business now (Kennesaw) and have had many complaints. I did find a link to them here on TW from a 2009 post, but the link went to a site that through up a virus warning.

    I did find this on expedition portal:

    Be very cautious about doing business with Tactical Armor Group (aka TAG aka Kennesaw Mountain Accessories aka KMA aka Blue Lake Offroad).

    There is a reason why this company has used so many different business names in a relatively short time. This company, by whatever name, is synonymous with questionable workmanship, misrepresentations/unreasonable delays and poor customer service.DO NOT buy anything from TAG aka KMA aka Blue Lake until you have done a Google search for all of the horror stories and negative reviews, which exist for every name the company has used. These negative reviews seem to fall within the following categories: poor or non-existent communication after the customers' money is paid, snippy attitude toward customers after money is paid in contradiction to wonderful promises and friendly attitude while soliciting the customer's order; unreasonable delays; poor workmanship including bad welds, fitment issues, scratches and grinder damage, poor paint and/or powdercoat; damage during shipping; rotten customer service during and after sale.If you still send your hard earned money to this company after reading about what they have done to others you will deserve everything bad that comes from the transaction.

    I never heard of any of these names before this thread.

    @Thelgord Yes there were quite some issues with them years ago. Figured it was bound to catch up with them, doesnt surprise me they're gone.
    I saw several of their bumpers first hand and they were garbage. Misaligned seams, terrible welds, defective welds covered in bed liner to hide them, and poor designs. The list goes on.

    So I have been reading. Some of the horror stories are truly horrible experiences. But I do think you were correct in identifying the correct bumper maker. At least I learned what to look out for on here ;)
