Demonpath03 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hey peeps...anybody remove their rear bumper and leave it like that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Thought about it, the few times I've removed the bumper cover. The cover is just for aesthetics, of course...it'd free up some ground clearance behind the tires, but wouldn't be worth it unless I also removed my hitch.

Terranovation Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 What if someone rear ends you though? I'd rather them dent the bumper than the actual frame. Think about it. Bumper is easier to find either at wreckers or online than trying to straighten the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 The R50's have a bumper and bumper cover. You can remove the bumper cover and leave the bumper and it offers about the same impact protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawairish Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Think you could put up a couple more pics of everything being removed? Gets me thinking about a new bumper that integrates the hitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawairish Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Well, you make a point. But I'm interested in seeing the exposed area where the trailer hitch mounts, if you don't mind. Can only see so much on mine with everything still mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonpath03 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Lots of space under there and plenty of ground clearance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPB.88 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I just had to track down a bumper for mine. That was not fun. Some A$*hole on his phone wasnt paying attention. These wd21s are getting scarce around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonpath03 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Damn that sux...if I could afford a steel bumper I'd buy one in a heartbeat but a new ac comp and install is setting me back $1350 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPB.88 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 That sucks. If you're looking a for new steel one, I found Tactical Armor Group makes some that you can add the tire carrier and integrated reciever hitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPB.88 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yup you guys are correct. Hadnt really seen any consistent reviews till I searched more and found some on a tacoma forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
