Which front bumper would you pick?

That’s what I noticed too. Much cleaner if they lined it up with the grille.

 

Is there a tow hook solution without a new bumper ?

 

There's tow hooks you can add, but their position essentially makes them useless - any pull in an upward directions and the bumper is toast. So I'd say there isn't yet a viable solution

 

C4 for me.....radar works fine and was never relocated. If you are not willing to go with the full spread of lights I would get the other model. I also like that they can drop ship directly to your local powder coater. Makes things very easy....

 

Don’t have a 22 but the Lil B Fabrication bumper looks good.

 

Adventure Motors KC posted a blurb on facebook or instagram from the Toyota USA crew that were at overland expo- giving high marks to their build and the C4 bumper, saying that it was the best placement of the TSS sensor they have seen and the closest to how they would do it from the factory if it was an option. So I would say that's the route to go!

 

SS Offroad made an interesting design choice when they chose the mounting position. The tiny portions of the lower mustache that they left worry me. Maybe the bumper has integrated brackets to hold those on, but those remnants of the lower chin trim look like they're going pop off.

I think CBI & C4 went the right paths, albeit in slightly different directions. CBI with their tiered/stepped design that left the TSS sensor in the OE position. C4 put the bumper higher and just relocated the TSS sensor.

Lil B's Fab bumper looks good too with its stepped design, similar to CBI. My only worry with their tube design on the wings (where the fogs lights are) is that it looks open and I worry about protect of the intercoolers that sit in that area.

Just my opinion.

 

Any more pics of this one available? I didn’t see it on their website.

I like this tube style version but now @KroppDuster has me thinking about intercooler protection

 

It might end up being a non-issue. It's just tough to tell how exposed they are (if they are) from the limited pics I've seen of it. I would assume they considered that when they designed it.

 

Unfortunately I don’t, but I got it from this post. There might be more on that persons instagram.

 

I’m sure @montera.built will post something here soon!

 

If you were to take the stache trim off, you would find those two lower pieces tuck under the upper trim and have a couple of screws holding them in. Still looks a little shady.

 

Just to be sure, these are all of our full bumper options at the moment? Let me know if I’m missing anything. I left out the covert bumper intentionally since it’s not a full bumper.

 

Correct, but the C4 and CBI are the only ones that you can order today

 

Fabfours looks to have 2 available.

That looks really good. Aggressive and compliments the original lines. It's not a mall crawler set-up in my opinion. But I like it a lot.

 

I don’t see the parking sensors?

 

If I am putting an aftermarket bumper on my truck I want more coverage for the grille and headlights from critters.

 

Agreed, that’s why I am picking up the C4 full grill guard option next Monday

 

Where from? I would be interested in learning more about cost and installation, thanks.

 

CBI off-road…pre-production/pre-orders art this point and available with/without the center grill guard

comes with terrible customer service from what I have read

 

I vote C4, mid height bull bar.

 

Lil B’s Fab gets my vote so far.

 

Thanks for the tag @ByeF150HelloTundra! Absolutely loving what Brian at Lil B’s Fabrication did with the Tundra!

 

Clean AF! Any idea when he's going to start hitting production with these?

 

Thank you! And not sure quite yet. He's very meticulous and he still has some things he wants to toy with a bit before he releases it. He's working on a second bumper right now with a few of the changes we talked about and to pinpoint exactly where he wants to mount the parking sensors to make it flow properly. I'll chat with him and see what his timeline looks like.

 

Since you have a direct line to the fabricator...

Would love to see some practical photos vs promo/social media/marketing-style photos. I think the big question with this style of bumper is the intercooler protection. Hard to tell with the fog lights on if they're exposed or not. Also, it would nice to know for the winch mounting plate, if the mounting points are forward enough that it doesn't require relocation of the intercooler coolant line.

 

Yeah I'd be happy to snap some photos of all that! Likely won't be until the weekend when I'm off again, though.

 

Much appreciated! Cheers!
