Here is our first 4G tacoma product🤟 We built this bumper to be the go-to high-clearance option for the 4G Tacoma. It’s a hybrid plate + DOM tube design that keeps the weight down while still delivering serious strength, perfect fitment, and max departure angle. Quick Breakdown: Hybrid design: DOM + Plate Construction – 1/4" plate structure paired with a 1.75" × .120 DOM main tube and dual 1.5" supports per side. Integrated 2x2 Hitch – The hitch is built into a 2" × 2" × 1/4" tube and welded to the 1.75 main tube. chain attachment plates doubling as gussets Laminated Recovery Points – 3/8" center plate with 1/4" overlays. Works with ¾" shackles and ⅞" pins. Gussets tied to the 2x2 tube and frame horns span behind the recovery points Crossmember Delete – Factory rear crossmember comes out for maximum clearance and departure angle without losing rigidity. Sensor-Compatible – Retains the factory BSM sensors x back up sensors Lighting Options – rock light mounts on the gusset behind the 2x2 tube and chase light mounts on the 2x2 tube Adjustable Plate Mount – Tool-free design lets you move the plate for street or trail. Built in the USA – Jig-welded A36 steel for consistent fitment and durability.

I would usually put a silicone on under the bolts during installation but I noticed the 4G taco has an OEM tape around the holes that seems to seal everything when tightened down.. anyone else know what I’m talking about? Should I take it back apart and add some?
