96-04 Tacoma Closed Wing Hybrid Bumper - Welded

Info to know before you order:

• THIS IS A WELDED BUMPER!

• In order to get the tightest fitment and strongest mounting design possible, there is some modification required. You will have to trim 2 inches off the front of the frame rails on the vehicle. This will not reduce the integrity of the frame. After cutting, clean and coat the cut area with some spray paint to prevent any rust issues.

• This bumper will not work with body lifts without leaving a gap. It will work with stock height and suspension lifted vehicles.

• There may be small imperfections on the surfaces of the parts, such as small areas of surface rust or shallow scratches caused during the manufacturing or shipping processes.

A little about the bumper:

• The new closed hybrid design is stronger, more lightweight, and offers the best approach angle of any other True North bumper to date. Not to mention it looks badass!

• We wanted to be able to offer the best fitment possible so we took our design a step above all the other fabrication companies out there and had the front of the truck laser-scanned! This allows us to model the bumper within our cad programs using a virtual representation of the truck that is accurate to within .005 inches!

• The frame mounting plate, winch plate, and skid supports are all 7 gauge HRPO steel. The main vertical supports are 3/8” thick steel. Shackle mounts are 3/8" steel with 1.5 OD .250 wall DOM tubing welded in. All other sheet metal parts are made of 11 gauge HRPO steel. All tubing is 1.75 OD 11 gauge ERW steel.

• The bumper was modeled around a warn m8000 winch that has a 10" x 4.5" mounting pattern and centered fairlead/spool. Other winches may fit (similar size and mounting pattern required). Depending on the winch size you will possibly need to detach and relocate the control box.

• We realized that these bumpers are going to be mounted on 20ish-year-old vehicles and the chances of each and every one of them having a perfect frame with no previous front end damage are slim. So in order to offer the best fitment possible, we made all the mounting points slightly oversized. This will give you a little adjustability when mounting. Depending on how far you need to adjust you will possibly need to use washers as shims between the bumper and the frame. New bolts and washers are included.

• Weighs roughly 90 lbs. Any grille guard tubing will add to this.

Powder Coat:
We recommend having your bumper powder coated locally once you receive it. Although we love providing you with a beautifully powder-coated bumper, there is a risk of it getting damaged during shipping. We do our best to package the bumper as well as we can, but somehow there are still a lot of instances when damage occurs during shipping. Therefore, we will continue to offer powder coating, but we can no longer cover any damages incurred during shipping.
