C4 Fabrication Tacoma Overland Series High Clearance Rear Bumper / 3rd Gen / 2016-2023

Introduction

The C4 Fabrication Tacoma Overland Series High Clearance Rear Bumper is a purpose-built upgrade for 3rd Gen Toyota Tacomas (2016–2023). Designed for serious overlanders, it delivers rugged protection with practical accessibility features like a hidden hitch and durable D-ring tabs.

Key Features

• High-clearance design that requires cutting of the side panels and the lower portion of bedsides behind the rear fenders for a proper fit.
• 3/4” thick D-ring tabs fully welded front and back for dependable recovery points.
• Comes standard with a hidden hitch and a license plate that flips up for easy access to the receiver and trailer wiring.
• License plate light included; all Tacoma rear bumpers feature reverse light cutouts.
• Cutouts designed to accommodate Baja Designs S2 flush mount, Rigid SR-M 2×3 flush mount, or Extreme LED 2×3 flush mount lights.
• Aftermarket rear suspension/lift recommended but not required.
• Weight rating: 150 lbs without a swing arm, 250 lbs with a swing arm and accessories.
• Jerry can carrier compatible with multiple brands (Midwest, Scepter, NATO, and some jerry can-shaped storage containers).
• If you don’t choose the powder-coated option, painting or powder coating is required to prevent rust.
• Blind spot monitoring system is not supported with this bumper.

Fitment & Installation

• Fits 3rd Gen Toyota Tacomas (2016–2023).
• Professional installation is recommended but not required.
• Cutting of side panels is required, and the lower portion of bedsides behind the rear fenders must be removed for proper Hi-Clearance fitment.
• All installation steps assume compatibility with the specified light cutouts and hidden hitch setup.

Light, Hitch, and Accessory Details

• Hidden hitch included for towing flexibility.
• License plate flips up to provide accessory access to the receiver hitch and trailer wiring.
• License plate light is included for compliant visibility.
• Reverse light cutouts are standard on all Tacoma rear bumpers.

Finish, Maintenance, and Longevity

• Powder coated option available; if not selected, the bumper will require painting or powder coating to prevent rust.
• Designed to withstand off-road environments where exposure to the elements is common, with heavy-duty construction and welded features.

Use Cases and Why It Stands Out

• Ideal for overland builds that prioritize high clearance, recovery versatility, and auxiliary lighting integration.
• The combination of 3/4” D-ring tabs, hidden hitch, and compatibility with multiple jerry can carriers makes it a comprehensive solution for expedition trailers, field support, and remote towing scenarios.
• The built-in light cutouts and rear visibility features help maintain safety and practicality on rugged adventures.
