    Hey guys,

    I'm fairly new to modifying my truck (2017,sr5,2.5 in lift,275/75-18 general grabbers) but I'm starting to get more comfortable with it and starting to get a better idea of what i want her to look like in the end.

    Now I'm looking for a front bumper similar to the Demello Offroad High Clearance Front Bumper. I really like the look, the winch capability and the high clearance. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the price, if anyone has any recommendations on good alternatives to this or any advice for a beginner just starting out i would really appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    What are your intended uses? Looks and a winch but you never plan to use it? Do you hit the trails hard and need something that will take abuse and can handle your winch really being utilized?

    Most folks here will tell you that if you plan to get use out of the bumper, pay for a decent one the first time. Otherwise you'll be buying it as your second bumper. If you just want it for looks and the 1 time in 5 years you pull someone from a ditch, I'm sure there is an Amazon/ebay knock off that would cost less.

    Too many, but not enough....
    Check out ironman. I have nothing bad to say about it. Price is great, as is the look and install and its crash rated.

    Yeah i hear that, its definitely gonna see the trails pretty hard. I'm just wondering if this is my best option, or what else is out there. I just don't know much about it.

    Thanks for the shout out.
    @Caleb Salyer we offer a couple different front bumpers out of our shop. One is a standard replacement and the other requires a little bit of cutting but gains a ton of clearance on the front.

    That Demello you’re lookin at has been Tundra bashed on hard and proven to take the abuse. The strength of the winch plate has literally saved the truck from sliding down a snowy mountainside.

    Hey thanks for the insight.
    It’s definitely one of my front runners.
