Backwoods Hi-Lite Overland Front Bumper For Tacoma (2016-2023)
Introducing our brand new hybrid steel AND aluminum overland front bumper for the 3rd gen Tacoma. The Hi-Lite gets its name from its aggressive high clearance design as well as its ultra-light weight construction. Our bumper features a full 26lb aluminum shell paired (+4lbs with bull bar) with a 54lb steel winch cradle - totaling only 84 lbs (84 lbs with bull bar). We've specially designed this bumper to have the strength where you need it most while saving weight everywhere else. We built this bumper purely with Overlander in mind - to offer a great-looking, affordable, full protection, strong and lightweight solution.
(Powder coat included in the price - Raw bumpers available upon request)
Typically, bumpers are either constructed purely out of steel or aluminum. An all-steel bumper adds significant weight to your vehicle, easily rusts can affect your suspension, and can cause premature wear on a variety of components. And a fully aluminum bumper typically costs significantly more money and is usually not as strong as steel. The answer is combining the two.
