Fair warning, this bumper will NOT accommodate a winch on the 2022 Tundra. The twin turbos have two intercoolers, one on each side of the winch tray, and the space between is fouled up by the hoses connecting them. You'd have to find a way to completely re-locate the hoses. While the 30" light bar fit nicely, no way do the Heretic Studios light pods that they recommended fit. We spent a couple hours trying to find some way to mount them and finally just mounted them externally. That being said, I am constantly being approached by people who are just drooling about how good the bumper looks. Really sharp!
We went a little more into detail on clearing space for a winch in our Covert Bumper install video for the 22' Tundra. We're running a 10,000lb Warn Winch in our Tundra. Thanks for the support!
These videos are great but I'm not sure I trust myself to install this or the covert bumper myself. Especially considering how much this truck costs! Thanks for the video!
It is definitely intimidating working on a brand new truck! Reach out to our customer service team and they can get you a list of shops that can install it for you: (208) 528-0664
What are the torque specs for all these bolts. Nothing is shown or stated. Will those numbers be in the instructions with the bumper? Would it be possible to have those in the in the description?
Yes! We had an oven that wasn't holding temperature properly, which has since been replaced. And we have improved a lot of our procedures since last year. Haven't had any issues since.
In the near future we will have a "work around" module, programmed to act like the air dam's still connected. But for now we just strip it down to a smaller size which we will further explain in a future video.
In my opinion Toyota should have offed this as a factory option.. to manufacture a 4x4 off-road truck without metal bumpers or tow hooks is just crazy I’m a Toyota fan but my 2017 tundra is built like a tank compared to the new tundras If you are listening Mike Swears I want to know what you and all the Toyota engineers were thinking???
My guess would be new traffic safety laws. I bet other trucks won't have steel bumpers anymore either because of vehicle vs. pedestrian collisions. We've been moving away from them for years now to the point that only the rear bumpers were steel
