    Hi. I’m new here. I just discovered this site while looking for parts for my 2014 tundra.
    Last week I unfortunately had a run in with Bambi’s big brother. It wrecked my bumper, Pro grille, l/h headlight and bent up the l/h quarter panel. I have most of the replacement items ordered already but I need headlights and bumper ideas. I’m wanting to get the Pro headlights and a fabricated bumper.

    Definitely upgrade to led headlights. The grill is an easy one. I like the c4 bumpers.

    I ordered a heftyfab aluminum bumper in February and got it in October. Very high quality, no issues, just know that most fabricators may take 3-18 months depending on their backlog.

    How you plan to use the bumper will dictate which style of bumper will fit your needs best. Unless it’s for looks in which case I recommend demello offroad as they make the best looking tundra bumper on the market :D

    These are all awesome bumper options but way over my budget. I don’t need a winch or much extra lighting. I do need the extra clearance and better protection.

    You need the ihacker harness for the factory LEDS. There are lots of cool bumpers, have fun shopping! Now is the time as a replacing those factory parts will be as much as just a new aftermarket bumper.

    What is your estimated budget for a bumper? I have the Rough Country bumper on mine. I had it Line-Xed before I installed it.

    My truck already has RC step rails so naturally that was my first thought and after seeing so many other bumpers (made to order USA models to super cheap Chinese junk) that RC still stands out to me. Do you have an RC rear bumper also? And where did you get your fender flares and bulge lights? Are those flares line xed also? That’s a nice truck you have. I love the color.

    My rear bumper is a Road Armour Stealth, also Line-X'ed. The flares are Bushwackers and I bought them from AutoAnything. They are Line-X'ed as well. The bulge light is the Baja S8 40 inch.

    Welcome to the forum.

    On the front bumper question, ARB is the answer.

    I almost pulled the trigger on a set of those today but I just couldn’t bring myself to paying over 700 Shellcrackers for headlights. They do look damn good. I’m kinda leaning towards the old TRD PRO lights or similar aftermarket ones.

    Another neat feature of the ARB bull bar....
    IMG_20221105_185032.jpg IMG_20221105_185213.jpg
    the bull "horn" goes thru the bumper and is gussetted as well.

    ARB is cheap insurance IMO.

    Best of luck sourcing parts. Lots of options.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Hate to hear about your run in with the deer. Are those pics of the deer you hit? Not a bad rack. Around here, 90% of the deer that are hit are does.

    Yeah, I’m actually about as LA as a person can get. I hit him about 3 minutes after I crossed the Alabama line from Fl. I’m about a mile from the line just inside FL.

    Oh! You live in the new Navy Federal area? I'm over in Spanish Fort. My wife commutes to P'cola and I go the opposite way to Mobile.
