I love the Shrockworks bumper I think I want this one

i didnt read all the posts but im going to chime in and say, i do like that shrockworks bumper. i dont like the arb bumpers though. just about every 3rd gen owner i know owns one and they all dont like it. more clearance is needed in the front than an arb gives, and when it does hit a rock it gets damaged easily.

funny..i've never had any issues with approach angles as you can see in the pic i posted. i find its always the people that dont have them that say that...

Actually it's the people that DO have them that say it.

Well after long debate have finally ordered my bumper and here is what I decided to go with

This is the bentup winch bumper that was designed for the toyota tacoma. However I talked to Emily at bentup and she is sending the bumper with no mounting brackets attached so I can build my own (so it will fit the runner). Because I ordered the bumper with no mounting brackets and no PC the bumper only cost $550 before shipping (shipping was another $120) Total $670. My winch is here and my synthetic winchline that I ordered from Winchline.com should be here soon. The bumper ships out Monday morning from CA. Something else I'm considering is when the bumper showes up maybe throwing a stinger on it like this

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Anthony
