Where to get an inexpensive "tube style" rear bumper, and front bull bar?

Define "inexpensive".

Trail-gear, CBI, 4xinnovations, and Marlin all make tube bumpers. There's more out there that I can't think of off the top of my head. Most of them start at $300 and go up from there.
 
the steal for my front and rear bumper was about $80 and it only took a weekend of slow steady work to fab them both up.
 
Rear tube bumper .. do you mean a SmittyBilt bumper?

I've been told that SmittyBilt no longer makes those rear bumpers for Toyota trucks but now only for Jeeps, so you'd have to find one on Craigslist that bolts to a Toyota? I've seen them there before.

I always wanted this style:

Like less than $700 for front and back.

That is EXACTLY what I want! How do they not make these anymore???? That is effing BS!
 
This one has no tow hitch receiver, but there are others which do.

Craigslist or eBay .. :(

You can find one on Craigslist for like $50. :)

Yeah, SmittyBilt screwed the Toyota lovers over.
 
The smitty built ones are SO weak. i know a guy who hit a deer with one and it totalled his truck. i built my bumpers and the front has taken 3 deer and the rear took a full size dodge and they are both fine just needed some paint.

They dont make them because they are crap. Only offers a bit more protection than stock, plus they rust out wicked easy. Dont waste your money.
 
well lets just say you get what you pay for. they are crap i would much rather save money and get good ones or make your own
 
my 4xinnovations bumper was $400 im looking at getting either marlin or trailgears rear bumper for ~$300.
those giant tube bumpers are beyond ugly!
 
Ugh u want inexpensive?

Try shipping those bumpers to Hawaii...I think shipping costs more than the bumper itself
 
Perhaps one of you crafty fellas would be willing to fab me up a front and rear bumper?

I don't have the equipment, nor the space to do it myself.
 
Better part of a weekend, less than a hundred in material, and a design that's yours,, not someone elses, and be able to run into sh*t all day long.

If memory serves, about 70 or 80 bucks, not counting wire and gas. Paint was 2 bucks at WallyWorld...easy flat black for touch up's. Hardest part was deciding how to make it look.
3/16ths plate, 1-5/8 .133 wall tubing...Built probably 20 or 30 of the things for different type trucks...easy sell for 4 or 5 hundred bucks when you look at the prices of everything else out there. The hardest sell is the guy who wants it to say "Road ....." or similar to look cool...A place here sells those for 1100 and up...mine's just as stout for less money
