    I am in the process of buying an Front off road bumper for my 2018 TRD Pro. I have been leaning towards the Addictive Desert Designs Honey Badger, but I have not been able to find many review about the quality or durability of them. Any personal feedback from current owners would be greatly appreciated.

    I am not dead set on the ADD Honey Badger, so if other 3rd gen owners that have owned their bumpers for a while have others they would recommend please let me know (If you have pictures that would be great).

    Nice Truck. Have you put a winch on it and if so has the angle of the cable lead been a problem? Thanks

    Not yet but soon. I plan on going with a factor 55 flatlink so I don't think cable angles will be an issue.

    Yeah that is in my near future also. I wanted to get the Heavy items (bumper, bed rack, and RTT) on first before I started with the suspension.

    The first batch we made had an issue with the line rubbing on the back side of the cutout. We've since updated the cutout location and size to fix this. We've also been rounding off the inside edge so it's smooth and further away from the line. We have a solution for everyone that's been affected and we've contacted many of them to try to get them fixed up.

    Shouldn't be an issue anymore.

    Thanks for the reply. Nice to see a company that stands behind their product and wants to satisfy their customer even with their previous purchases.

    Could I ask you to post a picture of the view looking down between the grille and radiator with the hood up? Odd request, but I'm considering the Honeybadger and have a supercharger and not sure if the plumbing/pump will fit behind the bumper.

    Nice setup!!! I originally planned to do bulged fenders as well but never got it done. I just ended up throwing on fender flares.
