Best bang for the buck on a taco! Thanks for the install vid!

I bought a new bumper cut that one nd installed this same bumper. Did that nearly two years ago. Today I removed it to fix a problem with the Barracade winch and installed a yellow film on the light bar. Love that steel bumber even more after crashing into a moose at night. It saved my radiator from being destroyed. It was still a long way home after the crash. Great job Rob. Did my installed the same way.

Looks incredible! You're a brave man to cut into the stock bumper. In the end, I think you've successfully demonstrated that's it's not quite as scary as it sounded.

Rob, I bought the Victory Blitz bumper which requires very little cutting and did not add the bull bar (60#). I'm thinking about adding the Badland Apex 12,000# winch (67#) when I do this. Between the two items, I will be adding about 125# to the front end of my 2022 Tacoma TRD Off Road. My concern is will this damage the truck in any way. I'm 64 years old, retired, and am not into rock crawling or hardcore off roading. I live in PA and end up driving a lot of dirt and muddy roads in The Allegheny National Forest. The winch would come in handy for snow and if I encounter the occasional tree that falls across a road.
