Relentless Fab. New Front Plate Bumper

[MattJakobs]

Browsing around today and found Relentless Fabrication just released their new front plate bumper for our 3rd gens. I think it looks great and would consider running one if I didn't already have plans for a 4xinnovations.

It can be seen Here.

It looks like they're also going to release some more hooping options for varied pricing.

Looks good! I think all the others will look similar, they'll just have different hoop options.

Looks nice, but is the price tag nice?

Not really. Nothing special about it, and it's $1030 before shipping.

 

[JeepKiller]

Definitely not for that much money... But it's still pretty sweet. I'll be interested to see what else they come out with.

I think you're right judging off of the others based on names. Probably a flat top, single hoop, this one being three hoops, and maybe a half height single hoop?

 

[MileHighClimb]

I like the look of that. It looks somewhat similar to the one that I designed.

I like it! The hoops along with the LED cutouts make it look pretty slick. Just a tad bit expensive though...!

 

[Twan]

As many other people have said, that price is a huge NOPE. Just makes the 4xinnovations that much more appealing.

Bumper looks great. I think they could have done better with the price, but it is what it is. Hope they get some business. Looks like good work.

 

[Rjsimeon]

Snooping around, there's going to be a DIY set. Might be interested in that.

I like these bumpers. I remember bugging him a longtime ago about when they might make them.

 

[Unner]

It looks really nice, but the $1000+ price tag before shipping and 110lb weight makes me happy I went with an AOR bumper instead. I do kinda wish I could have the headlight guards on mine though, then I could run limb risers as well.

 

[WRWhit93]

I think it looks sweet! The price is a little high, but maybe that'll drop in the future. Is comparable to the 4xinnovations, too, but I like the angles on this one.

I really like these bumpers. AOR is cheaper and local so I save on shipping, but man those look awesome!

Same here! He told me 3 years ago he'd have it out in a couple months. After 2 years of waiting, I finally gave up on him...bought a ShrokWorks. Too bad...I really like the looks of his bumpers. He was building Taco's bumpers out of aluminum, which is what I was hoping for.

He use to driving a Taco...but it was killed in a crash. He moved on to a 3rd gen 4Runner, which got him to finally build a front bumper. But still took several months for it to come out

Now for the last 6 mos he's talked about a rear bumper?? If you want to check up on him...he's been over on TW for some time...that's how I found him 3-4 years ago.I Talked to him twice on the phone...seems like a nice guy.

I contacted him within the last few months after seeing this bumper on that 4runner. He told me he could sell me a tacoma bumper but I'd have to alter my frame and he'd give me different mounts. Wasn't too fond of that so I figured I'd hold out.

If he does come out with an aluminum one however, I will likely sell my incoming 4xinnovations and pick one up from him.

Already has one out, and on the site.

I wouldn't be able to do a DIY kit. I don't nor do I know anyone who can weld aluminum and a local fab shop would charge too much. I've gotten quotes from a few shops on steel DIY kits and they've quoted me $500+ so it puts that somewhat out of the question.

At $699 before shipping plus a decent amount more than $500 to get it put together, I'd rather ask Relentless to quote me on a welded aluminum bumper.

If I had to guess on a price. I would bet that it would be somewhere in the ballpark of $1600 for an welded aluminum bumper.
