looking to upgrade bumpers on my 4x4....what's your fav ?

In the process of doing some upgrades....bumpers are next on the agenda. What's your fav? My current Taco (3rd one!) is a 2019 TRD Offroad 4x4.

A rear bumper needs to be compatible with backup sensors

Thanks! Send pics too

 

I have a Slimline Hybrid from SSO on my 21 OR and love it. The bumper lines match the factory lines and install was fairly easy and straightforward. I was planning an SSO rear as well.

That said, SSO is under new management. The new owners (on TW) have publicly said they are going to make paid order holders whole (which they didn’t have to do) and right the ship. I’m currently holding out on the rear purchase to see what shakes out. I like their rear the best of what I’ve seen and will purchase if things work out the way the new owner has planned.

Cute pup!!!! Thanks for this info! WIll look into this company/bumpers! Cheers!

 

Should have mentioned there is a thread here that @SouthernStyleOffRoad is active in. They have (seemingly) been open about the process and have been responsive.

I’m trying to hold out for their rear, but that smashed part of my OEM bumper is killing me.

Good luck with your shopping and let me know if you have any questions.

 

I'm a BMAF guy my self https://www.bayareametalfab.com/

 

Backwoods Adventure Mods, hands down. I've got the front bumper, no bull bar. Steel winch cradle with aluminum shell, whole bumper is only 86#......

Fab Fours make a BSM sensor rear bumper but my truck didn't need that option

 

As much as I love my BA (Body Armour) rear bumper, it rusts every year due to our winters. And every spring, I touch it up.

Seems like they coulda did a better job of powder coating!

 

*Does not accommodate Blind Spot Monitoring System* - fab fours website for both vengeance and premium rear bumpers

 

They come with the cutouts and the install video I watched for my install showed them installing sensors but I've been wrong more than once .... just ask my wife as she keeps a mental list

 

Interesting! There’s only 3 rears on the market that accommodate BSM, so I’m always looking for another option..
I don’t see any cutouts in your pic or on the website, we are talking bsm on the corners not small circular parking assist sensors dotted across the whole bumper correct?
The bsm sonar won’t work behind metal, so there has to be plastic panels over them when installed. Nice looking bumper!

 

Victory 4x4. I was between the Victory and the C4. I think they are both great looking and well built full front bumpers. The Victory 4x4 Strike in the aluminum weights only 48 pounds. I just like the way it looks mostly.

 

SSO slimline hybrid tube bumper

 

What bumper is this?
I saw a similar one a guy was showing me and I think it was a Fabfour?

 

Backwoods Adventure Mods Hi-Lite, no bull bar.

These all day long.

 

Fab fours website has options for sensor and non-sensor with the premium rear bumper on the drop down menu….maybe it’s a recent addition?

 

Parking sensors. They do not offer a blind spot monitoring system option. Check the * notes on that same page.
As I said in a previous comment it’s easy to tell when a bumper has the accommodation because the outside corners will have a large square cutout covered in plastic since BSM sonar won’t work through metal
