The 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma Open Wing Hybrid Front Bumper is engineered for off-road enthusiasts who demand durability without compromise. Constructed from heavy-duty steel, its hybrid design provides superior strength while minimizing excess weight. The high-clearance structure improves approach angles for tackling tough terrain, while integrated mounting points allow for auxiliary lighting and a winch setup.
Product Features:
The open wing hybrid design is stronger, lighter and offers the best approach angle of any True North bumper to date, with a bold, aggressive look.
Laser-scanned for precision fitment, ensuring accuracy to within 0.005 inches for a superior fit.
The frame mounting plate, winch plate, and skid supports are constructed from 7-gauge HRPO steel, while the main vertical supports are made of 3/8” thick steel. Shackle mounts are 3/8” steel with 1.5" OD .250 wall DOM tubing welded in for added durability. All other sheet metal components use 11-gauge HRPO steel, and tubing is 1.75" OD 11-gauge ERW steel.
Designed around the Warn M8000 winch with a 10" x 4.5" mounting pattern and centered fairlead/spool; other winches with similar sizes may also fit but could require relocating the control box.
Oversized mounting points and included hardware allow for adjustability to accommodate frame variations, ensuring flexible installation.
Weighs approximately 80 lbs., with additional weight if grille guard tubing is added.
Important Information:
THIS IS A PRE-FABRICATED BUMPER. Ready-to-install, professionally welded and finished for immediate use.
Not compatible with body lifts without leaving a gap; works with stock height and suspension-lifted vehicles.
Small surface imperfections, such as minor rust spots or shallow scratches, may be present due to manufacturing and shipping processes.
To achieve the strongest and tightest fitment, 2 inches must be trimmed off the front of the frame rails. This modification does not affect frame integrity. After cutting, clean and coat the area with spray paint to prevent rust.
Designed for 3rd Gen 4Runners and 2001-2004 Tacomas. Tacoma installations require 3/4" spacers (6061 aluminum blocks) and extended M12 hardware, both included.
Compatible with 1996-2000 models, but fitment has not been tested in-house. These models may have a gap between the bumper and grille, and 1998-2000 models may also require trimming the frame horns.
Intended for off-road use only.
We recommend powder coating your bumper locally to minimize the risk of shipping damage. While we offer powder coating and carefully package every order, we cannot cover damages that occur during transit.
