C4 Fabrication Tacoma Hybrid Front Bumper / 2nd Gen / 2012-2015

Meet the C4 Fabrication Tacoma Hybrid Front Bumper for the 2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma (2012–2015). This 100% bolt-on upgrade delivers rugged off-road protection with winch readiness, engineered to install without welding or plastic bumper cutting. Built for serious overlanders, it combines heavy-duty steel construction with smart winch access and thoughtful design tweaks that make trail-driven confidence achievable.

Key Features

• 100% bolt-on installation with minimal sheet metal trimming required under the headlights; no welding or plastic bumper cutting needed.
• Winch-ready design with front cutouts to access rope and clutch lever; compatible with most 8k–12k winches.
• Relocation-friendly electrical control box: winches that relocate the control box are recommended; integrated control box setups may require trimming of grille support brackets to fit.
• Common winches that fit include ComeUp, Smittybilt X20, Warn Zeon, and VR series.
• Synthetic rope with hawse-style fairlead recommended for optimal fitment; some roller fairleads may be too large for the recessed fairlead mounting plate.
• Structure: bumper winch plate and mounting plates are 1/4" thick steel; bumper main body is 3/16" thick steel; tubing is 1 3/4" OD with 1/8" wall.
• 3/4" thick D-ring tabs, fully welded front and back as standard.
• Weight options: 125 lbs (no bull bar), 130 lbs (mid-height bull bar), 137 lbs (full-height bull bar with side tube gussets).
• Lighting compatibility: designed to fit a 30" single-row light bar (specifically designed for Baja Designs S8); also fits Extreme LED 30" 5D and RIGID 30" SR series.
• Includes additional Front Bumper Frame Support Brackets for all 2nd Gen Tacoma Overland and Hybrid front bumpers (a $177 value).
• Finish note: unless you choose the powder-coated option, the bumper will need to be painted or powder coated to prevent rust.
