2nd Gen |04-15| Tacoma |Hooke Road| Aftermarket Bumper | Install and Review! 

That's a sweet bumper. I've always liked the Tacoma's.

looks clean man 😎👍

Te taco looks good with the bumper man. I probably i do the same to my 2nd gen taco.

I got one of these for my build. I was driving down a road with 4 inches of shoulder then straight drop off 5 to 6 feet almost a 45 degree angle while I was texting! ( I was going 25 moh down a straight away and it perfectly aligned with one and done alignment bolts don't know how it went off the road) When my truck hit the bottom on ots side on the rock sliders, my foot slipped off the brake onto the Gass pedal. I had my pedal commander set on super sport. I rammed into a telephone pole about 15 yards away from the where I hit the pole. This bumper saved the front of my truck from getting smashed in. So a cheaper bumper doesn't matter. It's a great bumper.

Thinking about getting this same bumper. Does it come with the light bar? And is it a 20”? If I get it I’ll probably get a different light bar

Just ordered this bumper last week, can't wait to get it in and on my truck. I saw your picture of your truck on the Amazon reviews haha, I have the same truck in the same color so that was helpful.

Thanks for tuning in! This is just preparation for my year long nomadic trip through Utah! Bare with me here until I set sail! I just want to document what I am doing to prepare!

When cutting the wheel well liner did it ever cause a problem driving? Have they ever came off on the highway, or anything similar to that?

I’m about to buy the same bumper and seen your review. I noticed on Amazon there is a “hook road” brand and a “U BOX” brand. You posted your review on the “U BOX” bumper and they look the same . But your video says this is hook road

Last night I installed this bumper. 1. Your video was very helpful overall. 2. You skipped (about minute 3:09 on your video) the part of removing the outside frame that hangs the bottom part of the grille and headlights, its a small frame with about 4 screws and few plastic brackets. I spent about an hour figuring how to make it fit with that little frame on the car, but it just didn't make sense, until I watched your video multiple more times and I figured that part. 3. I feel the grill is a little loose with this install, what are your thoughts on this? How did you fix that? (if fixed) Thanks!

Just got this bumper! wondering if you have a video of the LED light bar installation?

Does bumper bolt to the frame end plates, with three studs on each side? That end plate is thin and both have cracked after mounting an NFab brush guard that weighs about 40 lbs. If those are the only mounting points, that thin plate is going to crack within three years.

Did you make a follow up video? I'd like to see how it held up. 🧐👌

How the steel thickness and weld quality compared to other competitors such as Go Rhino and Rough Country? Thanks

what you do to cover that part end of bumper that looks like is missing a part.(fender and bumper) I dont like how that looks any recommendations?

That's the kind of front bumper I like, not bulky, can you post a link where you got it from and cost..thank you

dude lighting

Great Video! Installation looks pretty simple. Seriously considering this bumper for my second gen tacoma. Someone else on amazon said that mounts did not align and had to use a hammer to get them to. Watching this video, it didnt seem to be of issue with yours. Hows the bumper holding up at this point in time?

What are your thoughts on the bumper a few months later? Still like it?

do you have link to buy it?

Did you ever get the light installed or make a video on it?

Have you ever actually used the d-rings to pull or be pulled? I might order this and reinforce it a bunch with some steel.

Where can I find this ?

in 2016 if it worked

Bro you need to undercoat your frame, badly. Bumper looks good. Nice solo install.

Link to bumper please? This is the first option I see that’s not HUGE

Trying to find it in Amazon but can’t, did it get discontinued?

They got to be better then the Bumper superstore I paid $3000 for a trailready bumper and 2 months after I paid for the bumper I get a email saying that the labor day sale is over and the bumper went up $400 and they want the extra $400 I told then that there must be a mistake because I paid in full and I've never heard back from them I have a receipt where I paid in full They want return my calls and deleted my reviews They just scamming people Good luck out there

Follow up review?

Cool bumper but one thing is I don’t like how the ends don’t match with the wheel well and fender indentations

Bumper sticks out too far on he driver side. not good dude.
