Shrockworks 2012 Tacaoma Front Winch Bumper

[TBS]

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd drop in and see if I could get a little feedback. We finially got a chance to fit our front bumper on a 2012 Tacoma, and I just wanted to see what the EXPO crowd had to say about it.

We're all ears!

I'm not too sure about those plates for your D-rings sticking out like that, in a love tap it could do more damage to both parties than necessary ... just my opinion... otherwise very clean by design, I like the fact that there are not too many plates at different angles that looks more like something from transformers... nice job

I like it.

Nice looking winch bumper. Do you have a weight on that yet? I didn't see it on your website when I checked, are they available yet?

I like it.

I had a mid length on my Jeep and it was very well made.

Always have liked Shrockworks bumpers... Every make and model. This is another.

I think it looks good. I had a Tacoma before I bought my Jeep (JKU), and I've got your bumpers on my JK. I would've put that on my truck in a heartbeat. (I'm the guy in GA you made the full stinger out of the front stubby, and added the trailer 7pin mounting hole in the rear tire carrier. I'm very happy with how they look!)

Why don't you use the same size tubing for the 'wings'? It looks considerably smaller. Is it for cost/weight? Maybe to fold when impacted so that the frame doesn't tweak from the torsional force?

Looks great, I really like it.

Is there an opening in the top to access the winch? I do not see one in front

The access holes for the clutch lever and solenoid box are the two large holes on the lower face of the bumper. There is also a rectangular slot in the top to view the drum while your spooling back in.

We just replicated the design we put together for your front bumper for another customer of ours. It did turn our rather nice, Thanks!


Thanks for all the quick feedback guys! Your response blew that of other forums completely out of the water.

We try to keep things as clean and simple as possible, anti-transformer is a description I use regularly.

As for the D-ring mounts, we can gladly remove them just for you if you wanted. We have done it for a couple of customers in the past.

Its an aesthetics thing really, and hasnt proven to compromise the integrity of the bumper in the 10 years we have been doing it this way.
