Winch bumper recommendations?

[MERAKIAUTOWORKS]

Wow, that is quite a price jump! I’m all for paying extra if I’m truly getting higher quality. But I do need more convincing than someone simply telling me that it’s quality. Can you tell me what specifically justifies the price difference?

Fitment is pretty spot on, designed and made in America, good quality.

Do the two ADD 2024+ bumpers work with the Trailhunter version? If yes, need the new skidplate too?

Not confirmed yet for those since they just came out.

Pictures ? I'm a visual guy.

Only the ones that are online.

Since ARB hasn’t come out with a bull bar for the 4th Gen despite all the ARB parts you can get factory I’m assuming making a full bumper isn’t a simple exercise. Hoping they release one eventually, I’ve had ARB bull bars on all my Tacoma's and they’ve been outstanding.

Got the Pike Bumper installed, mated to a Warn 10s Platinum, turned out pretty good, very happy with it.

I have been considering that one as well. Could you measure the space above the winch fair lead in red? Trying to see if a license plate could fit there. I know it would cover the RCI logo. I would appreciate it.

Overlaying a license plate onto this image, and using the existing parking sensor and grill grids as a reference point - I would project the license plate to look like this. Sadly, it will block the inside LED's of the lights. This is a miss on RCI's part, IMO. I wonder if they could just shift the light bars out a few inches to avoid this. I'm also not sure the bottom of the license plate won't interfere with the winch rope in some cases.

This looks pretty slick. How much did you end up spending?
