Very neat looking bumper, that bottom section looks pretty boxy; but I assume that's because its a straight on picture. Do you have any more angles of that sexy bumper?

Most winch manufacturers have covers you can purchase for them as well as anti-theft items to keep them from bring stolen.

I was referring actually to the bottom of the bumper where it mounts to the frame, it looks somewhat boxy & out of place compared to the sleek look of the rest of the bumper, visually it looks a little off to me. But the pictures on the previous page are mainly below waist level so I may be somewhat nit picking aesthetic design and I don't want to come off as though I am putting your product down (I actually love the look tremendously!) because I know there's a large amount of design time and compromise that goes into making such a pretty bumper.

If you had them ready for the 4th gen I'd purchase it today. Looks great and doesn't add a ton of weight up front.

Well, the 4th gen is in the shop right now, but we haven't been able to start on it as we need to get caught up on 3rd gen 4runner/Tacoma plate bumper orders.

Start on it already!! I've got money burning a hole in my pocket and I need to resist buying other things until I can get this bumper!

Thanks for the update. I understand you have to take care of existing customers... sounds like you need more staff to me...
What a terrible problem... to be so busy you're turning down work! Congrats sir... thats called success.

I have a question that has been on my mind and this seems like as good a place to ask as any...
Why do most of the newer bumper designs angle the grill hoop outward instead of being vertical?

I might be speaking out of place, but I believe it has to do with the hood/ grille hitting when opening the hood.
Ascetically I prefer the angle though.
