Backwoods Adventure Mods Hi-Lite Overland Front Bumper [Bull Bar] for Tacoma (2016-2023)

Upgrade your 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma with a TRUE hybrid front bumper engineered for maximum strength, reduced weight, and aggressive trail-ready styling. Featuring a lightweight 30 lb aluminum outer shell paired with a 54 lb steel winch cradle, this high-clearance bumper delivers the best of both materials—corrosion-resistant aluminum where you want to save weight and heavy-duty steel where you need maximum pulling strength.
