New 2014+ Metal-tech 4x4 no-cut front bumper released

[AndrewTK]

Any reason this wouldn't work on a 10-13 if you also swapped out the headlights? I believe the rest of the body lines are the same, and I would be tempted to do this and get some new headlights to make it work.

Mark,
I just sent you a private message with some questions.

PM'ed back

None really. It would work no different than how others have done the light and grill swap.

Great looking bumper. Can't wait to see the 10-13 design!

Its in devlopment CAD stage now. No official eta but it is comming.

very nice bumper, great job! is there an option to not have those square winch cut outs?

We need them for air flow. However we are looking at making an optional grill set that are removable that mounts to the inside. This would be an option for any of the bumpers at anytime to be added. It has to be removable since one would want to access the winch clutch.

If you're going to get flex or movement from a frame mounted steel bumper, I would imagine the stock bumper would do the same to the headlights under the same circumstances.

Yes, but the stock bumper is not sharp steel!

Mark, have you guys had a chance to get the center badge delete plate through production for some pictures? How that turns out is really my deciding factor on snagging one of these. Thanks!

YIKES that's a pricing error. Too much excitement around here to finally get this released. Two kinds of pricing error. The stage one should be $1499. Not $1449. This is the $50 discrepancy in the 2nd and 3rd stage. No worries we will lower stages 2 and 3 by $50 for the next 30 days for anyone that wants a deal.

Also SPENK05 - For catching that (thank you) if you choose to get a bumper in the next 30 days, let me know in a PM with your name and I will give you the 30" LED light bar for 1/2 price or the optional intake deleat grill for free, your choice.

So everyone gets $50 off the stage 1 base price of $1499 next 30 days (stage 1,2,3). First 5 TR4 guys that use the code in the OP gets another $100 off.

Mark, you can't expect the rest of us to NOT ask for that same discount

Mark,
Any chance of getting a stinger added on like the new FJ bumper? I need some deer repellent... For my 2013! :rockon:

Very interested in the bumper. Have these been test driven on the road before? Fitment looks great! Just curious if it will rub on fenders or lights.

Any pictures with it on and the winch?

ME thinks this is a must-have item. There are not a lot of bumpers for the '14+ that aren't ugly as sin. This is really sumthin'...

Looking forward to the trd-pro pics and the light bar delete photos as well.

 

[grumpy514]

Did this never happen? Been a few weeks and no updated photos...

 

[lionchops]

I ordered one. Should be here this week.

Talking to Mark at the NWOR, the biggest difference is that he has them in stock-ready to go. As opposed to other makers that have a multiweek wait. Can't wait to get one

Did you get instructions? What's with the 2 small metal o-rings?

No instructions.

Given that i just went through the installation. I find that it is easier to mount the auxilary mounting plates to the primary bumper chassis (winch mount) prior to mounting it all up to the chassis. Alignment, ease, would be simpler.

I installed the auxilary plates after the primary bumper (winch mount). It was a bit tough to align everything up so I had to unloosen the bumper (winch mount) and bust out with the airtool to get it all in place.

Those two black metal pieces are meant to sit by the power steering lines. I didn't use them. It is cut and angled to seat by the bracket on each side.

lastly, I'll note that I completed the install with extra BOLTS and other MISC. hardware.
