06 bumper?brush guard? or push bar?

any suggestions for an o6 double cab....thinking about maybe a bumper but unsure. but if so what are some brands other than arb or shrockworks? or are there any decent brush guards that could withstand some minor impacts?


and ps i very rarely go offroad.

Just stick with the stock bumper. The benefits won't be recognized if you don't wheel.
When you get more into it you can benefit from bumpers from CBI, Bent Up, All Pro, and several other makers.

More important is good tires, sliders, self-recovery (Hi Lift, chain, straps, shovel), communications, then suspension, bumpers, etc..

I agree, if you don't wheel then you don't need a full bumper.

Put your money into a lift, tires, and sliders then go from there.

+1 for keeping stock bumpers. also, don't the aftermarket bumpers/brush guards/etc... weigh a lot more than the oem plastic bumper covers?

wouldn't that result in decreased mileage, and probably make the front end sag over time?
