[Mr. Nobody]

Geauxtaco on TW created a very in depth list of the 3rd Gen Tacoma bumper offerings. I went ahead and updated the MSRP's, and current availability.

I love the Hefty Fabworks Slimline... And all the others like it. I'm trying to keep that balance between an everyday driver and offroad capable.

 

[Mr. Nobody]

The Slimline style offerings are such clean ways to keep the factory lines of the truck while adding a beefier look and winch capability. I dig them too.

 

[Briang71]

Does anyone know if there are any of the "slim" front bumpers (the ones that go where the black plastic is on the factory bumper) that don't involve any cutting? Really don't want to start cutting up my new truck Thanks

So far they all involve cutting a portion unless you get yourself a Bush bar. They wont due much but hold lights

 

[Malcolm]

Great write-up @Mr. Nobody and thanks for the photo plug ha

 

[Briang71]

Yeah I kinda figured,. Not a fan of bush bars at all so I guess I'll stay stock.
Thanks for the reply!

Just make the cut ! The bumper is easily expendable

Lol yeah it's like 20 days old! Just can't do it yet lol

 

[Mr. Nobody]

I'm starting to compile info on front bumpers here....

https://tacoma3g.com/threads/3rd-gen-front-bumper-mega-thread.8151/post-28190

That said, most all require a bit of cutting. The low profile styles as well. There are a few that only require you to cut inside the area that is already covered by the factory center portion. Some you have to cut the lip around that center portion, and some require cutting outside the lip.

If I'm not mistaken the Hefty Fabworks and Southern Style Offroad offerings require the least cutting. The SOS Offroad Concepts is probably next.

You can research all of the low profile options in the thread referenced above. If you find another company making a different low profile bumper mot listed, please let me know and I'll add it to the list.

 

[Rob Daman]

@Victory4x4 pics of their new product and says there's some cutting but not the part of the bumper so you can put back to stock. It's on their Facebook page

 

[JSC2012]

I thought the Warn semi hidden winch bumper required no cutting. I seem to remember that was their selling point when they came out. I may be mistaken. I just glanced through the instructions on it and it has one step that says “trim plastic as needed”. But I think it’s some plastic on the inside. May want to check that product out.

You sir are correct but I'm guessing that why you pay the hefty price things $$$$

 

[JSC2012]

Yeah they are pretty dang pricey versus comparable products. It does look good though.

Very clean setup no lie there ,but still slap another 300 on there could have a whole bumper, then again there "overpriced" it nothing compared to ARB

 

[Resqu2]

Lol yeah it's like 20 days old! Just can't do it yet lol

Oh it won’t be 20 days old when you do the cutting, it will be more like 3 months and 20 days old as the wait for these things is crazy. I have a SSO Slimline hybird on order and dread the cut but love the look as it looks factory. The Warn to me doesn’t look as good as the SSO but you can have it this week and little to no cutting.

 

[Victory4x4]

This should be up on our site soon. The only cutting it requires is at the bottom of the factory bumper plastic (see photo below.) That cut would be covered if you ever reinstalled the factory bumper cover. You could epoxy that piece back in before you install that factory bumper plastic thing, but I don't think it's necessary.

Should start at $649

 

[Briang71]

Awesome. Thanks to everyone for the replies!

Anyone know why Hefty Fabwork's website shows this other bumper but doesn't have it for sale? It is a really nice looking bumper. Is it an old model? I am interested in it.

Added to the first post.

Great looking option by the way. Nice work.

 

[JSC2012]

Southern style off-road just posted some pics on fb with there new addition to the slim line. It looks freaking sweet too. They’ve had this type of product out for the 4runner for a bit.

That's pretty innovative

I couldn't find these on there website yet, would be a great addition to mine

EDIT: spotted on the comments its coming out mid March

 

[JSC2012]

Yeah it is very cool to see an “modular” type bumper. According to SSO, they will be offering a full bumper like it instead of having to do the three pieces. So that is cool too. It has a very similar look to the Colorado ZR2 bumper.

That is pretty cool that whether someone has already purchased the slim style or not, will be able to purchase that style.

 

[Flinky]

I know this won't apply to most of the people on here, but if there are any Canadians looking, Green Lane Offroad is making aluminum trail armour on the west coast. Haven't bought any yet but I have heard good things.

They have a slim line bumper and are working on a full front bumper as well.
