Browsing the smittybilt site there are no more links or anything for toyta tube bumpers. I coulda sworn they made them.

If you mean 'classic / old school' tube bumpers ...

The last place I know of that advertised them was Sterling Equipment in Florida:

I'm not certain, but I believe it's Sterling products that are offered on 4X4Connection.

Too much competition, IMO there are many other competitor's products that offer better protection and function. However the Basic Smittybuilt design seems like it would be easy for someone to duplicate.

I never liked how they looked on 1st gens, the stock bumper works better IMO, just take off the valance and chop the fenders, looks and functions great and its free + easy to do, The smitty doesn't really protect anything anyway, they remind me of those ebay brush guard things.. Did they even make them with a Winch mount?
