    My truck is about 1”-1 1/2” to long to fit into the garage. I know, tough life to be to big to fit into a garage!
    Are there shallower bumpers other than stock that will allow me to fit in the garage? I’m a 2019

    Lost track after #1.
    Good luck. I've been searching for replacements for a while now to make sure I can still keep mine in the garage, but so far no luck. All of them I've seen (that aren't just a bar and a skid plate) either stick out further, or have elements that stick out further, than the stock bumper.

    It's been a while since I've searched tho, so:popcorn:in case you find one.

    I feel your pain...SS Built bumpers may get you close, at least their rear seams to be the most flush fitting, maybe a mazulla? but then you lose you hitch I think...The front of Tundras are pretty flush as it is so not much can be done there..

    I came down to the conclusion that I am going to need to re-frame the back wall of my garage and fur it out some so that I can fit again...Seems like the only way @mundra

    The hitch sticks past the bumper by a hair. What room is behind the front of the garage?

    Bath room I thought about cutting drywall and notching the studs a little bit

    That’s what I would do. Cut your drywall piece larger than what you need. Use a stud sensor and cut your verticals half over a stud. Remove carefully in one piece. Store the piece. Notch the studs where you need them. When done with the need for space. Screw the old piece back on and mud.
    If you use a multi-tool with a wood blade you can get clean cuts and not much mess. The studs may take time, but the tool will do the work. (You could even keep your wood scraps and screw those back in place Later.
    With that little clearance, you are bound to miss at some point... forget your hitch is on or something. I have a similar issue and hung a tennis ball from a shelf above the bumper in the area of the camera. When I tap the ball, I am good to go.
