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

[Schattenjager]

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?

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...

:lurk:

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

I would look into these guys:
CBI Offroad,
Demello,
Bent-UP

Thanks!

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