I believe I have narrowed my front bumper choice down to a TJM T-17.
My rear bumper choice is up in the air though.
I am soliciting your opinions, and good ones at that!

I live in Minnesota and do zero rock crawling so I don't care about clearance. I am a hunter, so most often my version of wheeling is driving through a cornfield, wooded grove, mud pit, and mucho snow. My main need is good rear end protection . Can't believe I just said that. With all the ice and idiot drivers around here I would rather ditch the chrome popcan on the back of my truck. I can than inflict damage rather than recieve it. I need hitch access and a lighted liscence plate mount.

I have a 99 taco TRD. What are my options? I have searched a bit and it yielded a few results:

Badlands
Sonoran
Demello

What others am I missing? What other things should I be thinking about?

Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Go with a Sonoran from Steve i think out of the three, it will compliment the T-17

Yes, it would look better having a non-tube bumper back there with the TJM.
Asthetics are slightly secondary to function.
I do like the wrap around protection that some of the tube bumpers appear to provide. I believe I saw where you can get the sonoran with wings for the Taco as well.

I just checked that out. Looks great. Maybe I can make friends with a local welder. I'd love to learn, but i'd also like to finish mybasement, landscape the yard, build a deck, build......... you know the drill.
