Possible front bumper option for the tundra.

Huh, I'll have to get ahold of a double cab. Are you sure it's not just the fenders and flares that are wider?

I had a 00 AC and now a 06 DC. Definitely different, but how much is hard without them side by side. Looking at pics of both on google, dc's grill comes down lower, but the earlier ac's had the bar going across the front under a shorter grill. Maybe the 03-06 AC's have the same grill as the dc's do.

I would be interested in a bumper for a DC....

I have a DC and my dad has an AC, width is the same, DC seems wider because of the wider flares but that would have to be accommodated but the biggest difference is the DC headlights are 3-4" higher off the frame rails, that's why the Arb bumpers don't sit right on a DC without customizing the mounts so that bumper you built would fit a DC tundra but there would be a 3-4" gap between the bumper and the bottom of the headlights
Wow, 3-4" !
If that is the case it will not even make sense to offer one for the double cab. Than would require a major redesign and the low profile look would not be doable.
My brother in law sold his old bumper to a coworker so when we try and mount that it will tell me what I need to know. I took the drawings to the laser cutter Tuesday so I'm hoping to have a prototype in the next couple weeks.

Something to also take into consideration... Looks like you're using a Tundra without flares for the template. My truck had TRD flares, and my Brute Force Fab bumper was made for the width of flares. After I tubbed my firewall, trimmed the fenders, and removed the flares, the bumper stuck out way too far to the sides. I cut it down and welded it back together. I have photos of what it looked like before and after in my build thread.
I was under the impression that the Brute Force Fab 1st gen Tundra bumper was on both access cabs and double cabs. He definitely sent me photos of it on both, and I'd doubt he made two different bumpers.
