    Just bought new 2020 TRD off road,looking at push bars (not bull bar) such as CBI off-road or Aries, are there any that the whole front end doesn’t have to be removed to install?

    It may be awkward but I think you can install the AVID bumper guard without removing the front end of the truck. When I installed mine I removed my front grille just for top down access to the bolts and visibility. It was still a bit awkward to line up the bolts solo but I managed.

    Can you send pics?? From the side and front. I like those as well, my concern is that it doesn’t hang too low( like some bull bars)
    Thanks

    There is a thread in the AVID forum section that shows a lot of installed bumper guards some Gen 2 other Gen 3.

    I uploaded some install images here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/avid-bumper-guard-and-trd-pro-grill-with-tss-sensor.542478/

    This is the only picture I have access to at the moment. I can take more detailed images later. I have tabs on mine for a light bar and I had it powder coated there were no issues when shipped but it just took some time for them to fabricate it.

    Thanks man! That’s me! I just hate to disassemble the bumper and all that stuff, I have very bad lick with that kinda stuff! Usually I start a big project and something either breaks or is missing or I have to go somewhere! I like it though, doesn’t protrude too far and easy to install it seems
    Thanks alot

    I have the CBI, I certainly did not take the whole front end off. took about 2 1/2 hours. tons of youtube videos on different aspects of taking everything apart. On scale of 1-10 in relation to difficulty i would say a 3, pretty easy and straightforward. CBI makes a great product,tacoma2.jpg
