Anyone know of a good looking inexpensive off-road bumper for my 96 1st gen?

Looking for a good off-road bumper that is not too expensive for my first generation Tacoma. Any suggestions any one have good luck?

 

Cheapest offroad bumper on the market for our trucks is probably the Trail Gear tube bumper, around $500 I think.

Otherwise your best bet is to keep your eyes open for a good used deal

 

depending on your skills and material avalibility... both of mine were apx $350 for waterjeting + material.

Looks good

 

You do know that is just the prints !!

You source everything else!

If you can do all the Fabrication may as well build your own just How you want.

To Expensive has so many different meanings to everybody .

 

Yes I’m aware.
I like the Warn bumpers but look like all Jeep bumpers .
Under 600$

 

Coastal Offroad if you got a welder or friend that does. $461 + shipping

 

yeah you're not going to find any plate bumpers for our trucks in that price range, unless you buy a DIY kit like from Coastal Offroad or Northwest Trail Innovations for around $450 and then weld it together yourself (or pay someone else to).

Cheapest plate bumpers I've seen fully assembled around probably at least $800 or so. Sometimes if you keep your eyes peeled for the 20% off eBay sales you can get a good deal on the ARB plate bumper for our trucks, usually retails for $900.

Jeep stuff is dirt cheap compared to ours because Jeeps are so common that the aftermarket has to be super competitive to thrive. In our aftermarket world, not so much. We're lucky if we have a handful of vendors anymore making stuff for 1st gens lol.

 

You can always sort through the bumpers in this page too.

Fuck the bumper, I want this...

 

Easy, just go order it... lol

 

Sure. Order it and bolt it right up...

 

Yep. Plug and play...

 

I built my CBI diy bumper. I think it was $450.

Great bumper, check my build thread for a link to my build.

You looking for a plate bumper or a tube? Winch mount or no winch? If you can’t or won’t weld it yourself, expect to pay at least $500 for a tube, or $800 to $1500 for a plate bumper. You migt get a little cheaper if you dont get a winch mount.

You say “not too expensive” but what does that mean? I think my diy bumper kit from CBI was faily expensive, but I’m kind of a cheap bastard.

 

OP it depends just how picky you are you can buy most any used bumper you like make or have brackets made stick it on your truck.

It most likely won`t be pretty to some people but will get the job done!
