2021 Tacoma Off Road Bumpers

Has any one swapped OEm bumpers to the Off Road type? Are the bracket locations the same as the the 2018 to recent?

 

Should be the same.

 

Thank You brandon78lusch

I just installed some hookeraod front bumper and bed rack... I need to load pictures. I am having a hard time installing rear bumper. It will Not slide in.

 

load some pictures when you can. I just went through a similar headache with a hooke offroad rear bumper. I couldnt get it to slide in far enough either. My truck has a Uhaul hitch on it. After well over a month of dicking around with it trying to make it work and almost cutting it, I boxed it up and sent it back for a refund. I then ordered the Tyger rear steel bumper to try. I was able to make that one work with minor modification. Happy happy now.

 

I was finally able to snap the pictures.
Note: The front bumper does Not need cutting... Fortunately, the front shorty covers my gaff! (ouch)

 

My Tako does Not have a Factory Receiver Hitch. However, it does have the cross member in the same location. I is removable. However, after some image searches... the OEM receiver hitch seems identical. Difference is the receiver hitch itself. So, I will Notch the cross member and weld in some angle iron & reinforce the stress points some what.
I do Not think to drop $500+ on an oem. I don't know. I'll wait till Next Friday to consider.

 

Up to you, for me it ended up not being worth cutting. I had much better luck with the Tyger, it comes with 2 different options to mount it up. Below is what i had to cut for it.

 

Once i cut those tabs down on both sides i had plenty of room to slide it in far enough to mount it up.

 

I was visiting the bone yard. I noticed an 80's F150. I also noticed the bumper brackets! So, It got me thinking. So, I got home and jumped on internet... After some searching... This is what i found.
I will Not have to notch the OEM bracket/support member. I will post pictures after the the process is finished.
The first picture is what I ordered. The second picture, I can Not find as to where these parts go. If they fit the OEM rail/chassis internally, then I will get them for additional support. (Now, about that cross member! That ford cross member is thinking quite soundly!!)

 

@21Tako my bumper came with those 2 brackets. I didnt use them because i was able to mount it to the hitch. Hope it works out for ya.
