I'm in the market for a stealth style 4th gen winch bumper for my truck. I'm curious if other users could post pics, reviews of the good or bad parts of each style and if they found a solution to an install or sensor issue with each style. You could also include winch model used and mounting style if you have that. Thanks I hope this will be helpful to a bunch of owners.

My short list is the Stealth Bumper by Cali Raised, and Victory 4x4's unreleased front bumper, which Victory 4x4 recently mentioned is being redesigned to keep the radar in the stock location.

Engineering is all systems go on this front right now, should be out really soon.
I actually have a few of those items in my cart right now. The Rago molle panels that are made to allow access to the 4th gen bed compartments are fantastic.
I do wonder why the bare bumper is $1300 and the Warn winch is $175 more when purchased with the bumper than it's listed everywhere else.

What Stealth bumpers are compatible with the Pro, TH and hybrid models? I see that the Rago is not compatible with any models except the non hybrid trucks? I haven't gotten an answer on the Cali Raised yet.

I just completed the installation of the Desert Design Front Bumper on my TRD Off Road Premium 2024 Tacoma. I was a little bit nervous about the installation because it involved some cutting of the front grill. I had a couple of fitment issues with the purchase of cheaper third-party winches other than the ones recommended on the website. Additionally, I still need to figure out how to reroute the block heater cord to the front-gril. Other than that, I love the non-intrusive design. From the front view, it is hard to tell if a new metal front bumper has been installed. Has anyone else installed a Desert Design Front Bumper? For the Canadian Tacoma crowd, I managed to source the Desert Design Front Bumper from Walmart which included the shipping costs - $2300.00 CAN.
