I’ve been running the Chassis Unlimited Prolite bumper with HC wings for about a year now on my 4G and it’s been amazing. Features great approach angles, 30” curved LED bar mount, factory or upgraded fog lights, room for a 12k winch, and 1” thick recovery points for shackles. Parking sensors pop into it and work just like factory—same goes for the adaptive cruise control. The bumper has great access to the winch so turning it on from the control pack, plugging in the controller, or flipping the free spool lever is super easy. Install was pretty straightforward. It had some plastic cutting involved, but the center portion you just follow the profile. I used the HC wings as a guide and made my cut lines. The bumper mounts with 8 bolts per side—most reused factory hardware, and the rest was supplied. The factory skid plate bolted up fine, and I’m running NYTOP skid plates with it now. Here’s the setup I’m running: Chassis Unlimited Prolite bumper with HC wings Smittybilt X20 Gen3 12LB winch Factor55 fairlead Factor55 Ultra Hook Baja Designs OnX6 30” curved light bar 4x Baja Designs S2 lights NYTOP skid plates I’ve done a bunch of heavy recoveries—seems like when you have a winch, you get volunteered to use it all the time. All the lights let you own the night for sure, and the Baja Designs are some of the brightest I’ve ever used. I love the factory look and that it follows and works with the body lines. The 4G front end has so many angles and this bumper just ties it all together. Whether you’re daily driving, trail running, or getting pulled into recovery duty, this setup has been solid.

I was recently out at X Overland’s ranch in Montana. Toyota hooked them up with over 17 Toyotas for their event for guests to off road on their course. I was lucky enough to be able to take out one of the new Trailhunter Tacomas out on their trail that XOverland has built out one the backside of their property.

The Trailhunter handled the right trail with ease and the high flow air intake makes all the right sounds.

I got to off road a white TH and lemme tell you, the white pops with the bronze! If I was to get myself one of these trucks, I think that’s the color combo I would go with.
