DETAILS
Design and Utility. The Tacoma Front Bumper combines classic styling with modern functionality, featuring a sleek, low-profile grille guard for added protection and style. It comes equipped with two powerful 25W LED spotlights to enhance nighttime visibility. A built-in winch plate rated up to 12,000 lbs offers reliable recovery capability, while high-strength D-ring mounts provide additional utility, though D-rings are not included. For convenience, it also features a flip-up license plate mount, making it both practical and adventure-ready.
Tough Build Quality. Constructed for exceptional durability, the bumper’s main body is made from heavy-duty 11-gauge (1/8 inch) steel plate, paired with a robust 1.89" × 0.06" steel tube for the tube structure. The winch plate and mounting structure utilize a thicker 9-gauge (5/32 inch) steel plate, ensuring superior strength and stability. It features a textured black powder coat finish combined with a premium E-coating process on the inside, offering outstanding corrosion resistance and a long-lasting, rugged appearance.
Moderate Bolt-on Installation. Installing the ExplorerX Front Bumper involves a moderate bolt-on process that includes trimming sections of the factory plastic bumper and fender flares. For best results, professional installation is advised. Once the trimming is complete, the components are assembled into a full bumper, positioned onto the vehicle’s frame, and secured with bolts. The package includes detailed instructions and all required hardware, making it achievable for individuals with intermediate mechanical skills.
