We Currently Have 3 Front Options To Choose from For the 4th Gen Tacoma - With Variations For Each Hey guys, C4 Fabrication here! We've been working hard to bring you a variety of front bumper options for the 4th Gen Tacoma to match your off-road and overland needs. Here are the latest options available: Overland Front Bumper This is a classic plate bumper inspired by our 2nd and 3rd Gen Tacoma bumper but completely redesigned to fit the body lines of the 4th Gen Tacoma. We've also redesigned areas for TSS compatibility in addition to how the plate actually comes together. All in all, this is a very robust steel winch bumper designed for maximum protection and trail functionality with three options for hoops. Ideal for those tackling technical trails or running heavy gear up front. Product Page: https://c4fabrication.com/collections/tacoma-2024/products/tacoma-overland-front-bumper-4th-gen-2024 Specs: 3/16" laser-cut P&O steel construction D-ring tabs are 3/4" thick, fully welded front and back Includes washer tank skid and winch controller relocation kit Fits most 8k-12k winches (Warn VR series confirmed fit) Designed for 30" single row light bars (Baja Designs S8, Heretic Studio 30", and Rigid SR-30 recommended). Other light bars will fit, but they may get cut off at the top and bottom. Fog light pockets fit Baja Designs Squadron. Other pods fit, but they may get cut off or create a small gap if they are too small. Weight: 114 lbs (no bull bar), 121 lbs (low bull bar), 128 lbs (mid bull bar w/ gussets), 138 lbs (full bull bar w/ headlight hoops) Bull bar options are Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) and parking sensor compatible Ships bare steel (requires painting or powder coating) Hybrid Front Bumper This is a C4 Fabrication favorite. This is one of the most popular designs we came out with almost 10 years ago. Combines the strength of a full-width front bumper with a sleek, low-profile design all while having an almost unlimited amount of lighting options. The hybrid features light mount tabs on the wings so that you can mount up to three pod-style lights on both the driver and passenger sides; however, with some creativity, we've seen people add more. The hybrid is lighter and more customizable than the Overland plate option we offer. There are two options for hoops, both low height and mid-height with gussets, which offer an impressive look and functionality.

It's a sleek, low-profile option that retains full OEM sensor and safety system functionality while providing excellent winch capability and protection on the trail. With the Lo-Pro, you can retain most of your factory plastics or option the high clearance additions which will not only provide a better approach angle for certain obstacles but a very aggressive look for a low-profile bumper. Weight is always a concern so if that's top of mind, this bumper is for you. Weighing in at only 74 lbs, this is a great lightweight, trail-ready, recovery-ready bumper for your 4th Gen.

I noticed these 2 screws were starting to rust on my truck and didn't know how to fix it at first.

Not until recently, when I got a solution for it. So if anyone else has started to accumulate rust on these screws and is looking for the best way to fix it, you could try this.

I removed the two screws and coated them in fluid film/cavity wax, and they looked so much better.

So if you've got the same issue, try out this simple fix and see how well they'd look.
