4XInnovations Tacoma Tube Bumper Review
Last month (10/2) I placed my order with 4Xinnovations for a Tacoma tube winch bumper. Since there's not much about it online I figured I would do a little review.
First things first, I ordered 10/2 and the bumper was delivered 11/3. To tell you the truth I was expecting ~3~ weeks but no biggie.
Cost was 665 with shipping to southern california.
The bumper itself is made out of a combination of 1.75x.120 DOM and HREW tubing. Weld's look awesome and the bumper seems to be very well constructed. Fit is pretty good, Only one bolt does not line up, And I believe it is because of the accident I got into a while ago. 5 outta 6 bolts aint bad ;)
The thing that drew me towards this bumper more than the AllPro tube bumper is the fact that since my Tacoma is a 99 I have the end of the frame that's the odd ball of the Taco's. If I were to purchase an AP bumper I would have to chop off 3" from the front of my frame, AND I would not be able to use the aftermarket skids I already own without modification.
So this led me to 4XI.
Here's a few picture's
I did purchase the 1 bend stinger, But I dont know if I will be able to mount my lightforces yet, So we will see

I suppose other then the middle where the winch mounts, the approach angle is well improved :thumbup:

All in all, I LOVE IT !
It looks awesome, Flows with the body line's and is sturdy as hell.

Re: 4XInnovations Tacoma Tube Bumper Review
I third that motion... Or just send it to Alabama, it'd match my truck????
Re: 4XInnovations Tacoma Tube Bumper Review
I agree, white is too boring. I suggest hot pink with glitter.
Now, on a more serious note, I'll suggest flat black (to match your grill) or match the color of your truck. I'd lean more towards black, but I think the green could possibly pull it off, just depends on how much you plan on "using" it, if that's the case, then just flat black so you can always 'repair' it!
Looking good though!
Re: 4XInnovations Tacoma Tube Bumper Review
Sticking with the white for now. It's not primer. It's a gloss white.
Personally I think the white pops off of the dark truck alot better then black.
Why dont we all go tell Sean to paint his front and rear bumpers and sliders black, instead of the grey they are now..:flipoff:
Re: 4XInnovations Tacoma Tube Bumper Review
they are suppose to be silver, and are all in desperate need of paint. ill get to it one of these days!
plus the bottom 1/4 of the truck is getting silver too, so dont get your panties in a wad.
Re: 4XInnovations Tacoma Tube Bumper Review
I'm just saying..
Trust me I like the way your truck looks with the sliver and all that..

Silver is not the same as white. To each is own but I second the pink with glitter.
Re: 4XInnovations Tacoma Tube Bumper Review
Nice bumper - one thing I especially like about the 4xInnovatinos bumper is the winch mount, it just makes sense to me and would make me think the winch might stay cooler without a metal tray beneath it (though the metal tray also helps protect from the winch from a bow wake if you drop into a pond real quick . . . then again, what do you SoCal guys know about water :tongueout:)
