    Awesome. The install is super easy and shouldn't take too long.

    I have had it on a little over a year. So far so good. No rust underneath the powder coat and no issues with the welds. No updated photos.

    Did you go with or with out the bull bar?

    Im thinking in ordering the RCI bumper and full skid plates. They are having a sale not sure if a better sale well come again. I'm assuming you guys are happy with the bumper?

    Very happy with the bumper, engine and fuel tank skid. All robust and holding up well.

    Super impressed with build quality, lead time, fitment, etc. for the price. My shop just installed one on a 2018 limited and it looks great.

    What sort of throw are you getting with that DD 30” light bar?

    It looks like a solid bumper for the price. RCI is local to me so I save shipping, too. I’m looking forward to getting it. They said lead times are 8-10 weeks right now. I really only NEEDED the skid plates, but I figured what the hell on the bumper. My factory splash guard has done more than it was ever intended to do. RIP.

    Yea I think I'm going to pull thr trigger also and taking advantage of the sale. Did you go with or without bar? Still not sure, I'm leaning to no bar.

    I went with a bull bar. I think this bumper would look naked without it.

    Also, RCI has a sale like every 5 minutes. Tundraforum coupon code usually works, too.

    Looks great. Mine should be shipping this week or next week. How easy is it to get to the winch clutch release for those of you that have a winch mounted?
