    Im wondering if there are any off-road bumpers that dont interfere with the Toyota sensors on the newer models.

    Personally I like the hybrid bumpers. They look cool and weigh less than traditional aftermarket bumpers. (win-win in both function and appearance)

    I'm currently running a SSO hybrid bumper bc I originally wanted to keep the lines of the of the stock front end but in retrospect I would go hybrid all the way. bRW+P%IvQT6nuiBQN4NFcg.jpg

    I run SSO like you. Nice to have the option to add the side pieces for a full bumper. Hey, what's that door(?) in front of your fender?

    That's a low-profile bumper, not a hybrid. A hybrid has a plate center, with tubular "wings" that extend out to the fenders.

    Sorry, technically I'm running a "SSO Slimline hybrid bumper" per SSO website but understand the confusion. Low profile bumper is what they are commonly referred to so I stand corrected.

    MBRP Off Camber Fab bumper. I choose this one cause it was a bit cheaper (not by much) and MODULAR. I can take the winglets out if I need to get to certain sides instead of taking the whole bumper out. On top of that, if I dent one side, I can just buy that one piece (live in Louisiana, crazy drivers).

    I have the same bumper. I completely forgot that they refer to it as a "hybrid". Not sure how they came to that conclusion.

    BAMF hybrid. Still in the process of installing haha

    Edit: Why? Price was right, the form and function is exactly what I wanted, and most importantly, Jerry makes absolutely durable as hell stuff.

    Currently running the SSO Armagedon with stage 2 welded to make it a one piece.

    I’ve purchased the new SSO one piece tube (hybrid) bumper but it’s probably 4 months out.

    The relentless one has some cool features such as a winch fairlead which faces forward rather than facing downward like most aftermarket bumpers. I also like their bar work a lot. I would buy from them if I didn't have a shop more local than I do.

    C4 Lo-Pro or a Hybrid are my two choices. Aluminum is ideal for weight if it exists.

    Just installed a Fab Four last weekend. It’s still growing on me. Only reason I bought it was how cheap I got it
