I am not much for tube bumpers, but I like the new All Pro design. I would have them drop the stinger though.
That is how they should have always been, the plain tube ones have always looked unfinished to me, similar to the single hoop tube doors vs half doors.
Except their website says it's for 84-95. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'd like to see one that mimics the shape of the stock bumper, just with more protection for the fenders and space for a winch.
Have you seen my tube doors? They have a plate that covers the hinge area and gives a cleaner look.
Don't believe so, though anything more than something like this has to be an improvement.http://vvcap.com/img/kODlSIGCdh1.pngThis one here just looks like the fabricator took the time to design something for more than just function.http://vvcap.com/img/EyNkFixYA3T.png
Diamond that's a good lookin door.. did you make that?Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
The design could still be used as a guide when fabricating is an option.
Any other bumper ideas? Planning to add a winch on the front of my 82
Here's a pretty sick weld-together kit from a buddy in Vancouver. I know the guy that owns this place, and he's a pretty cool dude. http://nwtrailinnovations.com/bumpers/toyota-bumpers/toyota-pickup-bumpers/Toyota-Pickup-1979-1980-1981-1982-1983-Winch-bumper
I like that one ok, but sky has one very similar that is already welded, and I could make an excuse to go up there to visit my brother. I guess it would boil down to how much you value your time welding it together vs. cost difference.
Here's mine I finished last year
Nice looking rig
Looks a lot like the all pro bumper to me And thanks for the pic, I was on the fence about repainting my truck in red again or going desert tan.
Do you have a better picture?
There is alot of really nice looking bumpers, but it boils down to what works. Do you want lighter bumper to keep weight down, or do you want to take out a wall with that heavy plate bumper. I kinda like the power I have and don't want to loose much to a bumper. But at the moment, while working on my engine right now, I am glad I don't have a big bumper to be leaning or stretching over to do motor work. I think this is one of the reasons I haven't committed to a bumper idea outside of OEM. But I know an Elk or Deer would change that idea.
You guys are talking about horsepower and losing it with plate bumpers, but I have plate bumpers front and rear, with an 8274 winch and 150 feet of cable on it. I'm still passing up 22REs and 3.0s with tube bumpers or stock bumpers. My buddy is also on 33s but instead of stock gearing like I have, he's got 4.56 gears. He doesn't have bumpers front or rear and I beat him off the line and in the long stretch on the freeway I can still pull on him... Not to mention tube bumpers aren't exactly dot legal.. But that's just my $.02Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
