Rear bumper options

Already tried the search feature and after 10 pages I gave up. What options are there for aftermarket rear bumpers? I just got rearended and may as well go aftermarket if there are options.

rocktek makes a nice rear bumper, a few guys on ih8mud.com have it.

allpro tube

demello (but their price is outrageous, $1000!)

custom

I'm looking for a rear bumper myself. Don't mean to hijack but which one would you guys go with if your stock bumper was trashed:

All Pro

Rocktek

The Rocktek definitely looks cleaner and it's cheaper. On the other hand, the All Pros wrap wound the quarter panels and I get the feeling that the dude who just recently got the nasty hit run could have avoided $1000 of damage. The fiberglass panels used to cover the gap beneath the lights are just cheesy, though.

I have been seriously eyeballing that rocktek for a while. For $550 that is a steal. I'd like to have one that continued forward toward the wheel well along the side of the bed. Like the 4runner bumpers.

Well, I called Demello this summer and got a quote for a standard wrap around for the 05+. It's $800 pc'd. Then another $350 for a swingout tire carrier. Fawking ridiculous. I know it's good stuff, but damn.

There's an active thread on TTORA right now about 05+ rear bumpers. Look in the late tacoma tech section.

With all the scrapes and dents I have between my rear tire and bumper, I don't see how I would get anything other than one that had side protection.

That rockteck one is awesome!! Perfect match for someone who has an arb front bumper. I don't off-road (taco's a 4X2) so I dont know about the different advantages of each.

I'd like something like this

With either the plate protection like that, or some tube protection for that area between the tire and the taillight.

Of course that means clearancing the sheet metal.....

I like that Rocktek. Calling them tomorrow.

Thats exactly like what I was referring to. Especially if the sides are just a bit wider than the body to add some side protection in the rear. A poor man's wrap around hoops, if you will.

I wonder if Rocktek would build one to order like that.

that rocktek bumper is nice. i have a feeling if i got rear ended with that thing i wouldn't have too many problems.

well when i have my rear bumper made, it will be a combination of the following bumpers. It will be a tire swingout with a mount for a hi-lift. the swingout will be mounted onto a bumper similar to the picture on the bottom. i will have to cut some of the fender to get the right amount of protection that i am wanting.

I am looking to get this done by Demello. Not gonna be cheap...

i assume that rocktek is bolt on, right? no welding involved?

go with the all pro

all bolt on with great protection all around at an incredible price.

I like the all pro rear bumper but whats the tow rating on it.

I've had the all pro for about a year now and its pretty good....got the highboy reciever which you access by removing the license plate....only way to always have a full sized receiver and not lose the departure angle from the bumper....my guess is that you can be safe towing 5000 lbs with no problem....however I can tell you that my enclosed trailer is a about 1500 lbs and with 3 dirt bikes in it + gear + fuel it is all my 05 V6 can handle in the mountains or bucking a head wind.

that is a fun hill to go up :thumbup:

i don't think i like the look of the allpro rear. they should come up with something that matches the new plate style front bumper they have coming out. ( like the rocteck one ) i just don't like the wrap around tube look, although it does offer a more protection.

that all pro looks pretty dang good.... I wouldn't mind having that.

It's in the developement stages right now. Still haven't fabbed up the prototype. With as long as the front took to come out, I would expect it later this year. I plan on waiting for that to some out before I make a move on a rear bumper. May rhino line my current bumper, just to get rid of the horrid chrome.

oh cool. i'd be interested to see what they come up with. the prices seem to be pretty reasonable on there stuff too.

Don't forget Armorology:

that's the best looking one i've seen so far..

^^ I love that bumper, but I don't know how I feel about cutting my bedside. Which seems weird because I chopped up my cab mount.

i aint scurred-i'd do it right now. anyone have a linky? time to google.

ahh, here we are:

Hell yeah, you should get one, that way I can see it on a truck in person before I pull the trigger :D

It costs a bit over $850 and the truck has to be at his shop in Colorado :(. He does awesome work but unless you want to go to Colorado, your best bet is to bring the picture to someone local.

Mines going into the Armorology shop on the 14th the get the rear done.

TACOSALAD: I will be in the Portland area (Canby) end of January for a couple weeks if you want to take a look.

Sweet, I'm working in Canby for the next couples months. Lemme know when you are in town, and we'll have to meet up.

Dustin,
Any chance I could check that out as well? I am looking at building a rear bumper and can't decide if I should cut the bed or not. Love to take a peek at yous if possible.

Cut it. Do it once and do it right since your building a custom bumper

peer pressure.

If anyone is looking for a stock rear bumper from a 07, I have one. 170 plus shipping OBO.

I want a better bumper too, unfortunately I haven't found one I like that is just bolt on. All the ones I like require me to drive halfway across the country to visit their shop. I could handle installing something or even cutting the fenders if I had a decent how-to guide.

Yeah not a prob. As of right now, the girl is trying really hard to talk me out of cutting the bed side. I've talked to Jed at Armorology, and he can also do one similar to Roktek's without the cutting. I guess I have till the morining of the 14th to decide.
Whatever I go with just PM me if you want to check it out.

Um, so in other words, I was hoping you guys would talk me into getting the wrap around.....anyone?

do it. don't be a:Bruce:

If you cut the bed your committing to the project. You cant trade it in next year or the year after and expect to get the same value. Thats your choice and hopefully wont be made by peer pressure.

but he was asking for the peer pressure. i'd just like to see some more pictures of the setup.

Heres mine

For anyone that is looking to unload their stock bumper...I slid into a guardrail a few weeks back and am looking for a black, rear bumper for an 05.

I have a stock bumper primed and ready to paint. PM me. I am currently having internet issues, so it may be a few hours or so until I can get back to ya. Or just put your phone number in the PM and I'll call ya.

Mr. Grimm, did Demelio ever get you something you were looking for? I'm interested in doing the same thing. Any pics? Thanks :)
