What's your favorite rear bumper design?

As the title says -

I've seen RB's rear bumpers, Demello, Allpro, Badland, Bentup...

Any other popular vendors I've missed?

If you've "rolled your own" post a pic and show it off

That looks a lot like RB's. Except for the corners (good work, by the way)

Here's my new one, originally made for FearToy by Camburg. So much more departure angle than my factory bumper/hitch combo! But the hitch did come in handy as a slider for the rear end a lot of times!

I am kind of partial to mine. It's a custom job from a chapter member. Simple, straight forward and to the point Beefy as a brick out-house and high clearance.

I have seen Rob's in person many a time, and if I owned a Tacoma or the earlier trucks, that is the bumper design I'd go with.

It's one sharp lookin' piece of metal.

I like this one from Marlincrawler.com:
http://marlincrawler.com/rearbumper.html
which they have recently modified:

Now, if they added a spare tire carrier that set the tire off to one side and kept the same price, I'd consider parting with some $$.

Thanks

I have seen the TrailCarnage, Sonoran Steel and Chris's all in person and Chris's is definitely my favorite. I have not seen Bruces but i like the pics of it too.

Ryan, I really liked Tom's bumper, but unfortunately I couldn't wait any longer to get it. I used some of his idea's, mainly the frame mounts, when I fabricated mine. I still need to do a few final touches where the exhaust vents and eventually I'll fabricate my bolt on tire rack assembly.

A P.M. chat with Tom

Look at the build up in The Fab Shop; https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...0&page=8&pp=25

also my sig has a link to one of my photo albums that has more photo's of the fab work. I'll eventually have a full detailed build-up web page on my site.
