C4 Fabrication Tacoma Hybrid Front Bumper / 3rd Gen / 2016-2023

The C4 Fabrication Tacoma Hybrid Front Bumper is a rugged, winch-ready upgrade for 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma models (3rd Gen). Built for off-road enthusiasts who want maximum protection plus versatile lighting and accessory options, this bumper combines heavy-duty steel construction with smart winch integration. Note: installation requires cutting the plastic bumper and the mid-height bull bar is not compatible with Toyota Safety Sense.
