The addition of a front bumper is a use-case choice. We decided on the C4 Overland plate bumper for our latest build. This was our second front bumper from them on our builds. Never disappointing and always up to the task. The options for hybrid vs. plate and preferred setup are a move to the modular designs popping up from everyone. Shipping costs rightly to blame for that shift. The new generations of Tacomas have more electronics to deal with when replacing a front bumper. The 4G Taco is no exception. Those of you who have done it already know of the challenges. Those of you thinking about it, I hope this provides a little comfort for your fears. The installation of the bumper is pretty straight forward. Nothing special. Measure twice, cut once. Trim to your preferred reveal. The provided instructions were complete with measurements that were solid. Not perfect but a little patience and you can make it appear factory. The sensor wiring is/can be a pain. (If it applies to your model) I'll explain...the sensors are wired with 4-6 22ga wires for each sensor. There are four of them that need to be lengthened to accommodate the new mounting positions. The kit includes necessary wire and press caps to accomplish the task. In my case, the wire caps were not sufficiently pressed and a solid connection was not achieved as evident when the truck was started. I know, my own fault. After finding the issue I was not impressed with the press caps and decided to solder every wire to prevent the possibility of road vibrations from damaging the sensor wiring. I also used heat shrink over the connections for the isolation of each wire. Finished off with the harnesses being re-wrapped in a wire loom and fully taped to seal it from the elements. It was a tedious task but the end result was much more secure connection with each sensor. It's been about 8 months and zero issues. https://c4fabrication.com/collections/tacoma-armor/products/tacoma-overland-front-bumper-4th-gen-2024

We've been creating threads on all our new products for the 4G and felt that this one deserved it's own dedicated post. Arguably one of the coolest innovations to our storage systems - the Aluminum Bed Rack Storage Box!

We're confident to say that this is the ultimate box setup available for trucks! Other options on the market made from plastic simply don't hold up as well over time, and they don't have a premium look and feel. We knew these new trucks needed something that deserves to complement your setup and provide a ton of functionality.

As usual, we make these right here in the US in Arkansas, provide free powder coating and shipping, and a killer lifetime warranty. We truly stand by these items.

You're able to mount one of these on each side of your rack. The boxes are made from 1/8" aluminum, with stainless steel mounts. The lids have gas struts for easy and automatic opening. The heavy-duty latches come with rubber covers and locks. The hardware is stainless steel and black oxide coated. The MOLLE panels are also predrilled for RotopaX mounts. The interior shelving is adjustable (you get two of them), and you get a quality gasket to keep the water and debris out. Each box weighs 38 lbs. We include an extra gas strut in case you add weight to the outside of the panel.

We'd love to hear your thoughts!
