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

Meet the C4 Fabrication Tacoma Rock Runner Front Bumper designed for 2nd Gen Toyota Tacomas (2005–2015). Built for off-road enthusiasts who demand rugged protection, modular versatility, and a winch-ready setup, this bumper transforms your front-end into a purpose-built overlanding tool crafted from durable steel.

Key Features

• Modular, 3-piece design with bolt-on wings for easier installation and flexible configuration
• 11ga laser-cut P&O steel construction with 3/16" thick mounting plates and winch plate for maximum strength
• 3/4" thick D-ring tabs fully welded front and back for reliable recovery points
• Weight: Front w/ Plate Sides 85 lbs; Front w/ Tube Sides 85 lbs; Bull bar adds 5 lbs
• Includes winch cover plate and bridge skid that connects to existing skid plates and factory cross member
• Additional Front Bumper Frame Support Brackets included with all 2nd Gen Tacoma Rock Runner bumpers (a $177 value)
• Bull bar is not compatible with Toyota Safety Sense
• Finish option: if you don’t choose powder coating, painting or coating will be required to prevent rust

Cross Member Delete Option

If you select cross member delete, you will be required to cut out the factory cross member and replace it with ours. The option includes a replacement cross member, rock runner front skid plate, and a power steering relocation kit. For details on cross member delete/skid integration, refer to the product notes (the information is provided in-line with this option).

Winch Compatibility & Access

• Fits most 8,000–10,000 lb winches
• Recommended to relocate the electrical control box; integrated control box winches may require trimming of grille support brackets to fit
• Common compatible winches include Smittybilt X20 and Warn VR series
• Best-fit guidance: use synthetic rope with a hawse-style fairlead for optimal alignment and performance
• Be aware that some roller fairleads may be too large for the bumper’s recessed fairlead mounting plate
• Cutouts in the front of the bumper provide access to the winch lever

Construction & Finish

• Built from 11ga steel with 3/16" mounting plates and a dedicated winch plate for robust support
• 3/4" thick D-ring tabs are fully welded on both sides for added protection during recoveries
• Frame support brackets are included to reinforce mounting and ensure rigidity on rugged terrain

Fit, Compatibility & What’s Included

• Specifically designed for 2nd Gen Toyota Tacomas (2005–2015) with a modular, bolt-on wings setup
• Ships with a winch cover plate and a bridge skid that integrates with existing skid plates and the factory cross member
• Includes additional front bumper frame support brackets (valued at $177)
• Note: Bull bar is not compatible with Toyota Safety Sense
• Optional powder coating is available; otherwise surface rust prevention requires painting or coating after installation

Our Recommendation & Practical Use

• Ideal for rock crawling, overlanding, and trail protection where a durable, modular bumper adds approach angle, recovery points, and winch capability
• For the best overall fit and longevity, plan for protective finishing if powder coating isn’t chosen
• When selecting a winch, consider models that allow relocation of the electrical control box to minimize fitment issues
