yes i know it's BEEF..but you could easily take a TG, MC, or All pro bumper..and simply get it beefed up a lil lol

like an MC bumper, braced in a few different places i think i shall.
I got a deal on mine and free shipping...and MC isn't making theirs right now, otherwise I most likely would have gotten another one of those.

Yeah I noticed that you couldn't put them in your cart on MC.com, what's up with that?

Haha not trying to turn anyone away from MC, the bumper worked great...till it got railed lol and the adapter for dual cases is working great! I like MC, just dissapointed that this happened.

They won't be making them for about a month or more...something up with their fabricator...unless it's on the shelf in stock, they won't have any for a while according to the guy I talked to on the phone the other day.

No bends in it at all.

Sorry it happened to ya man! I hope you like the new bumper from Davez! Now, get back to wheel'n!
This is NOT a TG bumper issue. This is an issue with the owner not installing the side supports that are recommended. Any bumper can twist in the frame rails. I have seen Marlin and All-Pro bumpers do the exact same thing.

Scott, this conversation has been had. For the last time. The website did not recommend usage for the side supports when i bought the bumper. last i checked i had a 90-95 runner, not a 86-89 runner.

I was new to wheeling i bought the bumper, and being so i didnt know i needed the supports, TG fixed their website to dictate the years recommended for the bumper when i alerted them to the issue when it happened.

I read that thread. Not all of it, but enough to know the story.

Still, the issue isn't with the fabrication of the bumper, how it mounts, or how strong it is. The issue was with you not knowing any better. To blame it on them is weak IMO.
