C4 Fabrication Tacoma Rock Runner Front Bumper / 2nd Gen / 2005-2015

The C4 Fabrication Tacoma Rock Runner Front Bumper is a rugged, winch-ready upgrade designed specifically for 2nd Gen Toyota Tacomas (2005–2015). Built for serious off-road use, it combines heavy-duty steel construction with a modular, adaptable design that enhances protection, recovery options, and overall front-end capability.

Key Features

• Modular, 3-piece design with bolt-on wings for flexible installation and configuration
• 11-gauge laser-cut P&O steel construction with 3/16" mounting plates and a dedicated winch plate
• 3/4" thick D-ring tabs fully welded front and back for added recovery strength
• Front bumper ships with a winch cover plate and a bridge skid that connects to current skid plates and the factory cross member
• Includes frame support brackets; additional front bumper frame support brackets are included with all 2nd Gen Rock Runner bumpers
• Bull bar adds 5 lbs; not compatible with Toyota Safety Sense
• Paint or powder coat recommended unless you select the powder-coated option to prevent rust

Cross Member Delete Option

If you choose cross member delete, you will be required to cut out the factory cross member and replace it with ours. When selected, you’ll receive a replacement cross member, rock runner front skid plate, and a power steering relocation kit. This configuration is designed to streamline under-vehicle clearance and improve approach angles on aggressive lines.

Winch Compatibility and Fit

• Fits most winches in the 8,000–10,000 lb range
• Relocation of the electrical control box is recommended for integrated control box winches
• Integrated control box winches may require trimming of grille support brackets to fit
• Common compatible winches include Smittybilt X20 and Warn VR series
• Recommend synthetic rope with a hawse-style fairlead for best fitment and functionality
• Some roller fairleads may be too large to fit the recessed fairlead mounting plate in the bumper
• Front bumper cutouts provide lever access for the winch

Construction and Materials

• Made from 11ga laser-cut steel with robust 3/16" thick mounting plates and winch plate
• 3/4" thick D-ring tabs are fully welded on both front and back for reliable recovery points
• Includes winch cover plate and bridge skid to integrate with existing skid system and factory cross member

What You Get with Cross Member Delete (If Selected)

Finish, Finish Maintenance, and Longevity
