    So I've noticed that forums on our TW and Tundras sister site have Threads dedicated to armor recommendations but not really on here. I say its time to change that!

    I'll start with Coastal Offroad. For the 4th gens they offer everything from bumpers to sliders and even link skids. All of their plate armor products are offered in 3/16" steel or 1/4" aluminum for those that want to save weight. The bumper also have several options from bull bars to light cut outs as well as an awesome swing out system. This system utilizes a modular construction that allows you to change out your mounts by undoing 4 bolts. These mount options currently include dual jerry can holder, propane tank mount, rotopax and maxtrax mount plus even a dual mountain bike rack.

    We also are currently running a group buy for their products, though it won't be running for much longer, so if you're interested in buying soon, check it out ASAP

    I like a more subtle look and feel like Lost Trails Overland nailed what an OEM winch bumper would have looked like had it been offered back then. Easy install; I used a floor jack to lift it into position and bolted it on.

    I had decided to forget about a winch bumper b/c I just didn’t like any of the lopro looks but this one changed my mind.

    Solid, heavy duty construction, made in USA, and Daniel is very responsive and customer-focused.

    There’s also a light bar mounting shelf behind the metal mesh.

    That's really clean! I didn't know anyone made a bumper like that for the 4th's. I wish the old trucks could do stealth bumpers like that :pout:

    I also highly recommend 4XInnovations' weld-on sliders. I challenge anyone to find a better value in terms of a rock-solid product at a reasonable price and shipping cost. They look great and proved themselves in the Windrock Park rock gardens a few months ago.

    Mine are DOM w/ kickout so today they would be $345 plus shipping. I bought them in 2021 and they were $310 + $69 shipping.
