Is the wi ch hardwired to your battery or does it run off of an Aux switch?

I would love more details on that. I've got 2/0 wires ready, and I'm pretty sure of my plan. But experience trumps plans.

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 opening with a fie grinder to be 1/16" wider each side of the opening. I assume all other fogs on the Tacoma are recessed more and sit behind the bumper.
I also had to relocate the hybrid noisemaker behind the grill to clear the winch. Very simply drilled a new hole in the bracket to move it up and out of way.
To maintain the existing factory metal grill support and if Baja design fog lights are utilized, you need to cut the bottom of the support bracket lip off. It contacts the Baja design light bar when trying to install the bumper. i believe the metal grill support is critical for additional support. Some just remove it all together.
Minus modifying the bumper.... Easy for me... this bumper works perfectly with our TH. I gave this feedback to Rago and hopefully they will have a bumper for us TH and Pro owners.
Sorry for the bad pics. It's been raing for the past day.

Great job on the install! This is the bumper I’m looking into getting. Did this fit with the Trailhunter skid plate?

Yes the skid plate for the trailhunter still works.
