I didn't have any trouble with the passenger side. The speaker was slightly in the way so I just bent it up a bit so I could get the screw driver in there. The whole job took about an hour.
I did 35% up front only. I think the rears are about 20% privacy glass. Not sure about that. I have 20% up front on my previous trucks and it was too dark at night.
You don't need to add the springs but keep in mind, with the bumper and winch you are adding about 150lbs to the front. In my case, it sagged about 1/2". I brought it back up with the springs and lifted it about 1 1/2" beyond stock.
Today I added dobinson springs to the front to compensate the newly added front bumper/ winch weight. It also raised the truck by about 1 1/2". I also order the the rears but they are on backorder so in the mean time, I installed 1" peak spacers.
Changing the suspension on this Tacoma might...
I ended up going with the Rago center mount bumper, warn winch and Stinger relay hooked up to Aux 2 switch.
I received the Rago bumper Friday. They gave me a deep discount on it try out as they never fit them on a Trailhunter.
Beautifullly made and very robust. Fitment once I made some...
I did some cosmetic changes to the exterior including the PPF and tint
Added arb traction boards and the hi lift. Made some brackets to mount the boards to the hi lift. The hi lift is mounted to the bed rail t slot
I bought the Tailhunter in underground color January 2025. I started my driving life in a Toyota 1991 pickup. In 2010 I got a 2G Tacoma DCLB modded for wheeling and went to another 2g DCLB and switched all the mods over to that truck. Since then, I've been driving around larger amercin 2500...
I received the Rago bumper Friday. Beautifullly made and very robust. Fitment once I made some modifications to the bumper for the TH is perfect. I installed it yesterday.
Rago only accounts for the standard model fogs. The rigid fogs project out further (about 3/8")so I had to modify the...
Agreed. Although I blame those cuts(as you mentioned) on the installer. They must perform under the the "never measure, cut once" philosophy. They should have measured, then rough cut long and fine sand to perfection.
That's great to hear. Awesome bumper. When I talked with RCI, they said it wouldn't fit. These companies are selling themselves short advertising otherwise. Their website explicitly says it wouldn't fit.
I agree it's priced a bit higher than most. What I was after included:
-Warn Zeon size winch capability - most of the stealth/pike type bumpers don't allow for the width of the Zeon width of 24"
-Intergrated coverage of the fog light - All the stealth/pike type bumpers don't cover this area...
So, Rago got back to me. They said they never tested the bumper on a hybrid and that's why its listed on their website that way. They gave me a great discount to try it out, so I am going in that direction. Ill report back once I install it.
I was wondering if anyone with the Hybrid was able to fit the Rago front bumper. On the Rago website, it mentions not compatible with Hybrid. I spoke with the sale team and they said there is additional equipment on the Hybrid that prevents fitment. They were just regurgitating what the website...
Glad to be on board. Been pursuing the site since I got back into a Tacoma. More specifically, a 2024 Trailhunter DCSB underground.
So far I put Toyo Open country ATIII, front side window tint, PPF, mounted my hi lift and recovery boards in the front of the bed.
Next up is a front bumper...
