    Road Armor just started offering a bumper for the 05+ Tacoma. It looks amazing but is expensive!

    However, look at the marketing image I was sent??? Hideous! Looks like they just put a truck in Photoshop and put a layer mask on top. For $2K, I would think they'd have better marketing material...

    I actually like the look of it.

    I don't like it enough to drop 2 grand on it though.

    I'd sooner consider beating off with sandpaper.

    If i had an extra 2k around I would definetly drop it on that. But with 2k I could get one custom made to look better and be how I wanted it.

    Update on this. I was interweb surfing bumpers for our trucks and found that right now you can get $800 back on these bumpers! I personnally like them as they keep the original lines a little better than the all pro. This due to the reduced clearance comparing to the all-pro but hey I am just a poser who likes to bump civics in the parking lot!


    Edit: My bad deal is over, not like I was going to buy one anyways, I am all talk.

    Edit: Perhaps the deal is not over and I just have lysdexia. http://www.roadarmor.com/site/index.php

    Help me outa little!

    I really like the bumper, it would be way better with a Stinger on it though..still not worth 2K. All-pro, should be suffice for me.

    Here's a larger picture I just got from Road Armor for their rear bumper. I've already asked them if they have more detailed pictures, not just the marketing photos... Not enough detail here...

    There is a guy around here, that just purchased the "road armor, front bumper". IMHO I would ratehr buy the Armorology Rear bumper, with All-pro in front. That rear bumper above looks like a Armorololgy Bite...
