Why Your Toyota Tacoma Needs A Custom Bumper

Here at Truck Defender, we’re committed to providing you with the kind of durability and high-quality craftsmanship your Toyota Tacoma front bumper needs. Your truck might be designed to protect you from injury in an accident, but the bumper that comes with it isn’t always up to the challenges of your daily life. This is just one of the reasons why so many people turn to us for a custom bumper, something that’ll hold up on the long haul. Contact Truck Defender in Vale, SD, to learn how we can fit your truck with the right bumper and ship it to your front door! We serve all customers across North America.

Saving You Money

Maybe you’ve been driving your truck for a while now and it’s run just fine the way it is. You might not see the point in investing in an aftermarket bumper. And for some, it might not be a necessary investment. You’ll want to compare the immediate spending with the anticipated long-term benefit.

When you get a Toyota Tacoma, the stock bumper that comes with it is designed to fold and crumple in the event you hit something. When you’re in a serious accident, the more force your truck can take, the better, because it reduces your risk of injury. However, truly serious accidents aren’t nearly as common as bumping into something or minor collisions. Your truck can’t tell the difference between these two scenarios, and it might still crumple all the same. 

Think about your work environment and the other areas where you use your truck the most. If you use it for work or if you know you’ll be encountering a lot of wildlife on long roads, then all the scratches, dents, and replacements will start to add up over time. For some, spending a little money now can save them even more down the road.

Off-Road Protection

Those work environments where you’ll use Toyota Tacoma custom bumpers are probably going to be mostly off-road. Most of your truck is tough enough to handle the daily grind, so now it’s time to prepare all of it. Whether you work on a ranch or you’re driving onto construction sites, all the debris and hazards can leave your factory bumper worse for wear. Let us know what kind of work you use your truck for so we can tailor the bumper to fit your needs.

Reinforcement

On some job sites, the purpose of bringing your truck up close to the work area might include adding a little extra manpower—or truck-power—to your task. Whether you’re using it with a winch or to load more gear on your truck, the extra hauling power can be an important tool in your arsenal. Unfortunately, trying to use a winch with a standard bumper is probably going to do more damage to the truck and not get anything done. Investing in an aftermarket customized aluminum bumper can give you that extra strength you need along wit a spot to attach add-ons. 

Increases Ground Clearance

If you haven’t already upgraded your Tacoma, head outside and take a look at it. Specifically, look at the underside of the front. You’ll probably notice there’s a small guard, or “chin,” hanging down. This part serves a  purpose, but, it can make it harder to drive around without scraping something. When attaching an aftermarket bumper, this chin gets removed. Once it’s gone, you’ll have more ground and wheel clearance to work with, which can be especially important for the off-roaders. 

There are plenty of other reasons to upgrade your Toyota Tacoma, but eventually, you’ll probably be ready to start customizing. Contact Truck Defender and we’ll help you create the right aluminum bumper for your Tacoma. We ship all across North America!
