    Default Where to buy a ready-made rear 05+ Taco bumper?

    It has been a while since I shopped a rear bumper with tire / gas carrier for my Tacoma. When I first was looking, the few near by shops needed me to drop off my truck for a week so they could "measure" etc. I can't imagine that Toyota has that much variance in manufacturing. Do you know of a shop that is making bumpers ready to go?

    Default Wait a minute...

    Are you the same Schattenjager who recently dedicated a whole thread to emptying everything out of his truck, including removing the spare tire, in an effort to improve gas mileage?

    Now you want to add a >150lb bumper/tire/fuel carrier to your truck?
    I'm so confused...

    Be not confused my friend - I am looking for options. My bumper got smashed recently and since I am going to replace it anyway, I might as well make it useful!

    In your Schattenjager thread research, (very flattering, BTW) you must have overlooked this one:

    OverkillOffroad-AP on TTORA has an EBay shop selling his ready-to-go plate bumper for $685+ $105 shipping.
    Seems like a nice bumper, but when it comes time for me I'll have a wrap-around fabbed like this one

    If you're going to buy from Bent Up, I can drop my truck in for fit up. If it would help
