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.

While driving my Tacoma, I heard a loud sound from my truck, and it hit the ground. I stopped and saw a tiny piece in the dirt.

It took me some time to know it fell from under the seat rail on the driver's side. I don't know if someone else has experienced such and was confused on where it fits.

You can just reattach it to the underside of the seat rail on the driver's side. If it comes off again, adding glue to it would make it stick forever.

Hope it clears things up for you.
