Brush Guard with 2" receiver 3rd Gen Tacoma

Hey everyone, I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma and I'm on the hunt for a brush guard that includes a front 2" receiver hitch.

I do a lot of off-roading and have a custom-built gear and rigging hounds on the platform that slides into a front receiver, so having that hitch is important. I’ve looked through a ton of forums and websites and haven’t found a combo brush guard with a receiver that fits the Tacoma.

First question: Has anyone found a solid option for this setup? Or am I better off running a front receiver hitch and a separate bumper/guard combo?

Second question: Has anyone tried fitting a Tundra bumper on a 3rd gen Tacoma? I’m not afraid of doing some cutting or fabrication if it’s close enough to be worth it. Just trying to explore all options before I pull the trigger on something.

Any input, part suggestions, or photos would be much appreciated. Thanks!

 

Be careful, need solid mounting or you will tear the Taco frame at the front. Good bracketry is key. You will also loose crush cans, so beware!
