Question Tube bumpers & Front tow bar questions?

Hello,
I have recently acquired a new (to me) Toyota truck and am going to be doing some mods. to it. Before I do however, I am going to be making numerous posts looking for some help, information, opinions, advice etc. Any and all input is greatly appreciated, thank you! Vitals: 1996 Tacoma, 4x4, X-cab, 3.4L V6, 5 spd.)

I am going to be replacing the stock bumpers with the tube type. On the rear I want one with a 2” receiver for towing. In the front I will need one of the “A” frame type tow bars for towing this to where I hunt etc. I’d also like a tube type bumper in front and would like to have a 2” receiver up ther too for easier moving around of my trailers etc. I can most likely just weld some receiver stock onto the front somewhere but I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on the bumpers and tow bar for it? I.E. what type works best, brands, prices, where to buy etc.?

Thanks,

Your welcome! It's what i do at my job.

For search purposes i will post them here as well.

I noticed a few of the links, such as All-Pro and Warn didn't work even though i recently posted them in another thread....but then i found out both those companies just updated their webpages.

Computer noobs: When companies update their websites, it will usally change their previous links (url) to certain products. So if in the future any of these links don't work for whoever may see them...just delete everything AFTER .com and then navigate to what your looking for.

1. http://www.bigrocksoffroad.com/
2. http://www.allprooffroad.com/ See the link for armor.
3. http://www.marlincrawler.com/armor.html
4. http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-s..._systems.shtml search the Warn website for the Toyota bumpers.
5. http://www.bentup.com
6. http://www.hsf4x4.com/bumper.htm
