Backwoods Rear Bumper

Hello group,
Anyone have the Backwoods rear bumper? Looks like a great stealthy option. Any sensor issues? Happy with it?

I don't have one but when I am in the market for a new set of bumpers, they're likely the product line I'd go with. Only thing I don't like about the rear bumper is it isn't compatible with the bed step, which would be a tough pill to swallow considering how much I actually use it.

 

I wish someone would make a dear bumper with a step. Im having to do some crossfit jumps into the bed

 

CBI, makes one with a cutout step. Looks stout A/F. https://cbioffroadfab.com/product/toyota-tundra-classic-rear-bumper-2022-2023/

 

That step cutout for a dress shoe?? I guess some loafers would fit in that tiny opening? Come on man.

 

CBI bumper looks great but is double the price and I have zero desire to cut any panels.

 

Same thoughts here. Just ordered the Backwoods through Pacific Upfitters. Report & pics to follow in a few weeks. https://pacificupfitters.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoo0_aPzRmAHmSjniysw3WRbv_DZp0z3JTHGgONorj45UGSZ6gIo

 

Nice! Looking forward to the pics. Installation looks pretty easy to get done in the driveway.

 

Backwoods bumper looks really nice. I like that they integrated the body lines from the bumper corners. Very stealthy and OEM+ look. Also better rear recovery points than the existing hooks on the market.

 

I installed mine this weekend. I’ll post some pictures tomorrow.

 

Install went good. I think one side sits a little bit higher than the other but as far as I know there’s no adjustment for that. Sensors are holding fin with the double sided tape they provide with the bumper. Don’t seem to have any issues with the sensors.

 

Not bad looking. Wish those manufacturers would do an option for aftermarket light to use as reverse lights.

Anyone ever use the Apex rear bumper?

Following.
I've been looking at the 4 big names for front and rear bumpers

• CBI - Meh and the rear bumper requires more cutting.
• DV8 - Great looking front bumper, but not so much the rear. Rear doesn't look like it fits the truck lines well and the mesh panels look out of place.
• Backwoods - Best looking rear bumper, but not crazy about the front.
• 4x4 Victory - Arguably the best looking front bumper but no rear bumper offered.

I'm leaning towards 4x4 Victory front and Backwoods rear. Is that weird to have two different manufacturers for bumpers??

 

I don’t think so besides who cares what anyone else thinks?

 

Good call. Have you done a front bumper yet if so what did you go with?

By the way that color combo with those rims and rear bumper look great! Funny until two weeks ago I had never heard of the TSS version of the Tundra. I sold my TRD Pro suspension (bought and never installed) to a guy who showed up in a brand new TSS.

 

Thanks man I appreciate that. I haven’t jumped on the front bumper yet. I’m thinking about going with the backwoods front bumper too though. I like it because it’s real subtle.

I really wanted the TRD but was having trouble finding one in army green so I settled. The Ram I traded in was having some electrical issues so getting something else needed to be quick. The TSS is only offered in the Gulf states from what I understand.

I’ve upgraded to TRD axles and TRD Pro suspension with the Westcott preload on top and I love the ride.

 

As you can't see them both at the same time, who would know?

 

Caliraised is suppose to have their bumper ready. Still waiting to see what she looks like. Plus with the 2026 rolling out. Wonder if more new items will pop out!!!!

 

Don't forget C4. They have some good looking kit. Rear does require cutting.

 

According to my installer (Pacific Upfitters) the Diode Dynamic C2 2.0 flush mount lights will double as reverse & backlit marker lights.

**Installing Backwoods rear next week** post pics after install.

 

***UPDATE***
Backwoods rear bumper installed. I like it!
