Lead time: Backwoods is experiencing a delay from their supplier of aluminum tube for the bull bar bumpers. They are doing everything they can to expedite this process and will fulfill the orders as soon as the tube material arrives. Estimating late November to receive the material, but cannot give a firm date at this time.
Introducing the hybrid steel and aluminum front bumper for the 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma. The Hi-Lite gets its name from its aggressive, high-clearance design and its ultra-light weight construction. This bumper features a full 30lb aluminum shell and a 54lb steel winch cradle for a total weight of only 84lbs. We’ve specially designed this bumper to give you strength where you need it and save weight everywhere else.
Typical aftermarket bumpers are either made from steel or aluminum. Each material has its pros and cons. All steel bumpers are strong but heavy and prone to rust. All aluminum bumpers are lightweight, resist corrosion, and are expensive and not as strong as steel. The answer is our hybrid design that combines the best of both materials to give you a strong, lightweight bumper that looks amazing.
Typically, bumpers are either constructed purely out of steel or aluminum. An all steel bumper adds significant weight to your vehicle, easily rusts, can affect your suspension, and can cause premature ware on a variety of components. And a fully aluminum bumper typically costs significantly more money and is usually not as strong as steel. The answer is combining the two.
