Huge Rear Axle On My TRD Off-Road Trim - 9.5" Upgrade | 4th Gen Tacoma Forum

How can we be in the end of February 2025 and still not have any bumper with brush guard options for 2024 models? Does anyone know why the aftermarket hasn't produced hardly any bumper replacements? Is this only because of the challenges surrounding the sensors and cameras? I've seen maybe a couple companies saying they have products "coming soon" with estimates of like July lol Armoring up the rig was one of the first things I wanted to get done.

For those wondering, Toyota did give us a lot of what we asked for in this new truck. One crazy important feature, the 9.5" rear axle. This axle is nearly as big as a Dana 60, only .25" smaller. Naturally, they are super strong. You could technically run a 40" tire with relatively little issues. My plan is to run 37s bare minimum in the next few months, and 40s only if I decide to throw it on portals. But I'm beyond stoked on the beefier rear end. Hopefully the front can keep up! The 3rd Gen had a max size of 8.75". While still a good size, these new ones are much better.
