Rear bumper
Now that I've learned the hard way how weak the rear bumper is ......
Anyone gone aftermarket on the rear bumper - if so got some pictures?

I wish there was one with the hitch integrated into it.

I would like to see pictures of the front bumper also.

Nice pics. I have been considering changing mine out but not sure which to choose. Pics will probably help my decision also. It is one thing to see the different bumpers online but to see them on the truck is best. Thanks again for the pics. Nice rides.

Take a look at body armor bumpers, same style as road armor but roughly half the price.

I second that. The hitch placement is the limiting factor on an oversized spare, and the stock hitch is not well tucked. I would buy a replacement bumper with integrated 2” (not 2.5 or 3”) hitch that looked decent tomorrow.

I can’t remember where I read it, but I think it was in the OM. The hitch is part of the fuel tank collision protection and should not be removed.

The hitch is pretty far from the tank I don't think that's in there. Adding a 1/8 steel bumper/hitch in 1 is probably stronger than both oem setups put together anyways

My guess if there was a safety reference it’s that the hitch functions partially as the rear “Prius catcher”. I’d still want a combined bumper/hitch.

I wonder what that would look like on a White-platinum color truck. My bumpers are white now.

I like this look, very nice - if you get a chance can you shoot one straight from the back
Not planning on changing out the rims and lifting the truck so looking for a bumper that is a bit conservative.
