C4 Lo-Pro Bumper anyone have one?

[NicksFJ40]

The wife’s Tacoma is being delivered in a couple weeks and was going to order the C4 Lo-Pro front bumper. Is anyone running this bumper? How do you like it?

Thank you

I do not have one but a friend of mine does. It looks great! The fit and finish is top notch. It looks like a factory part. I would have got one but sadly they don't make them for the 05-11.

Was the weight (75 lbs) plus winch (70 lbs) an issue with the stock suspension?

Thanks for the response

Over the long run that extra 145lbs on the front will wear out the stock suspension. With that said my friend's truck is a '16 Tacoma TRD Pro and it handles the weight pretty well but off-road he has to slow down a bit. (He has the bumper and winch plus a bed rack system which is another 200lb's on the rear).

My advise would be to get it and then upgrade the suspension when you can. (Probably what you were already thinking....haha)

Thanks for the info. I figured we would upgrade down the line, just didnt want to spend the money on suspension after this big purchase.

Thanks again
