    Anyone tried this bumper on their 3rd Gen yet? Wondering if there are any fitment issues.

    I can't figure out how they offer them for the Tundra yet they have no pics of any on one at all?

    Not inspiring really to me.

    Yeah, I'm hesitant, but hard to ignore for the price. Plus, I weld. I've made a few bumpers for my old trucks. With all the pieces cut into a kit, all the hard work is done. Also, since it's bare steel (versus the DV8 I just posted about), I can customize it a little. I was thinking of using 1" or 3/4" thick plate steel, maybe 3-4" wide, and have it pass through holes in the bumper with holes drilled to line up with the mounting bolts on the frame. Then weld it to the bumper where it passes through. recovery points would be welded to the bumper and bolted to the frame.

    Where did you see this exactly?
    I just went to their website and that is not even close to the prices listed there and they also say that they no longer include the trailer hitch much less the stinger?

    The whole "Move" plastered in the front of their bumpers is a turn off

    Yeah, not crazy about that either. I'd cut plate steel, weld it in, flap wheel it smooth. You'd never know. The effort would be worth removing that ugliness

    They're made 80 miles from me...they're good for the price...a simple weld-on plate to cover the free advertising is a simple fix...

    Hmm I like the tube style bumpers but would like to see them actually mounted on a tundra before I would buy them
