off road bumper for 05 sport?

[Nickortizzle1035]

So last fall I got in a fender bender and my insurance cut me a check for $800 to cover the repairs. The only thing damaged was the rear bumper and some paint from the lift gate. I have been kicking around the idea of shelling out the extra cash and upgrading to a heavy duty offroad rear bumper. I have been looking at a bumper from Tactical armor group. does anybody have any experience with their products or customer service? I have stock suspension at the moment, but plan on a 2" lift in the next 2 years.

If you search for tactical armor group, TAG, and Kennesaw Mountain Fabrications here on the forum you'll find a couple of reviews. I read one a while back that said they were horrible to deal with but another member recently said they weren't as bad as the reputation they've achieved here. Rumor has it they changed their name from KMF to TAG after lots of bad reviews and complaints were posted around the internet.

CBI makes a rear bumper that looks great. Their design fits in with the lines of the 4Runner so it does not look like a sheet metal project out of someone's garage.

It may be a little more money but when you are spending $800 on something you have to look at every day why not go a few hundred more and get something nice.

Very good to know

Those bumpers are sexy, but they are way out of my price range.
