Best 4th gen stealth winch bumper

[Victory 4x4]

I looked at the Victory, but had a 10 week lead time as they build order………. rago shipped to me within 2 days.

Just want to clarify, we are 5-10 business days on bumpers and have been for quite a few months. Where did you see 10 weeks?!

When I added to cart to order!
Now after my Moab trip I am in the market for a rear bumper, still see the same build to order….. but your option is too expensive. Will just go with a Toyota/ARB part

You might want to get with your IT/web developer and update your site/cart information…..
when I order something, I want it shipped the next business day, not going to wait for you to build it and then ship it.

That's me, that's why I'm asking.

This is the first time you are presented with a lead time in the checkout process

This is the second.

Both go here.

If that was not the case and you remember where you saw it, please let me know and I will fix it. Sorry for any confusion!

Our rear bumper is currently on sale, but if you don't need the capacity for our adventure carriers that additional cost may not be worth it to you.

Understandable, then we probably aren't a good fit for you then. We are a lean manufacturer, we aren't going to stock all of our SKUs, but we will build them quickly.

I just completed the installation of the Desert Design Front Bumper on my TRD Off Road Premium 2024 Tacoma. I was a little bit nervous about the installation because it involved some cutting of the front grill. I had a couple of fitment issues with the purchase of cheaper third-party winches other than the ones recommended on the website. Additionally, I still need to figure out how to reroute the block heater cord to the front-gril. Other than that, I love the non-intrusive design. From the front view, it is hard to tell if a new metal front bumper has been installed. Has anyone else installed a Desert Design Front Bumper? For the Canadian Tacoma crowd, I managed to source the Desert Design Front Bumper from Walmart which included the shipping costs - $2300.00 CAN.

I have a random question; how much does the bull bar block your front camera? Curious as I have the 360 cameras as well.

I didn't have any issues with the front bumper blocking the view of the front camera. Let me know if you have issues with your installation. Desert Design's support is good also. If you have any doubts, I would recommend just reaching out to support.

Looks clean.
Just ordered the RC hidden winch bumper also. Should get here in a week or so. I’ll post up a pic when installed.

Any guestimates on weight with one of those stealth type bumpers and a warn 10k winch? Im wondering what it will do to TRD Pro front suspension and if Ill have to do any mods to the shocks to compensate for the additional weight??

 

[Gearman]

I never weighed my bumper, but for everything that came off, I really don’t believe that much was added back on

Winch is 80lbs
LED light bar was a few pounds
Bumper I guess was 80 ish

But crash bar was maybe 50lbs that had to come off. And maybe trim 10 lbs of plastic.

Hope this gives you an idea
I didn’t notice any droop, didn’t measure either.

Our aluminum front Blitz bumper is 41 lbs. A Warn VR8S is 70. You may lose a small amount of height, but you don't have to change the suspension.

With the aluminum does it still retain full load capability for the winch and tow points?

Can you easily reach the clutch handle, and retain the OEM Trailhunter front skid plate?
