C4 Fabrication Tundra Hybrid Series Front Bumper / 3rd Gen / 2022+

Introduction

Introducing the C4 Fabrication Tundra Hybrid Series Front Bumper for the 3rd Gen Toyota Tundra (2022+). Built for serious off-road enthusiasts, this rugged bumper delivers standout protection while preserving essential safety systems, and it’s designed to integrate high-performance lighting and winches without sacrificing sensor functionality.

What it is and who it’s for

This heavy-duty front bumper replaces the factory assembly to provide robust impact protection, a front skid plate, and mounting infrastructure for aftermarket lighting and winches. It’s engineered for Tundra owners who push their trucks off-road but still rely on Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) and parking sensors.

Key features and benefits

• Preserves Toyota Safety Sense, park sensors, and front-mounted camera functionality (all bull bar options compatible with TSS).
• Heavy-duty construction: 3/16" laser-cut P&O steel with 1/4" mounting plates and a 1/4" thick winch plate for solid, long-lasting protection.
• Rugged build with 3/4" thick D-Ring tabs, fully welded front and back, ready for recovery gear.
• Bull bar options: Low-Height and Mid-Height bars (visible in camera view but not blocking full camera visibility) and standard configurations to suit your off-road style.
• Designed to fit 40" single-row light bars (specifically tuned for Baja Designs S8) with dedicated light cutouts that cannot be removed.
• Can accommodate two pairs of Baja Designs Squadron fog lights; OE fog lights cannot be reused.
• LP9 compatibility on most options (except the low bar) but will not come pre-drilled—planning required for mounting.
• Provides access to reattach factory fender liners; includes a front skid plate replacing the stock plastic skid plate.
• Fabricated from durable materials, with compatibility for popular off-road gear and configurations.

Fitment, lighting, and winch specifics

• Light compatibility: 40" single-row light bar (Baja Designs S8 specifically supported); light cutouts are a standard feature and cannot be removed.
• Lighting and fogs: designed to fit two pairs of Baja Designs Squadron fog lights; OE fog lights cannot be reused. LP9s will fit on most options except the low bar, and the bumper is not pre-drilled for fog light placement.
• Winch compatibility: fits most winches in the 8,000–12,000 lb range; does not fit Smitty XRC 12k winches. Recommends synthetic rope with a hawse-style fairlead for best fitment; some roller fairleads may be too large for the recessed fairlead mounting plate.
• Installation notes: requires cutting the plastic bumper panels under the headlight on each side and trimming the end of the fender flares to install. Includes holes to reattach factory fender liners.

Safety, calibration, and sensors

The bumper is engineered to retain full functionality of Toyota Safety Sense, park sensors, and the front-mounted camera. All bull bar options remain compatible with TSS. Some customers may experience a recalibration prompt after installing the aftermarket bumper as sensors are relocated from their original mounting locations. If your vehicle’s front end has significant forward rake, sensors may be more sensitive and trigger intermittently. For optimal sensor performance, ensure the vehicle sits level and follow the install video guidance for sensor orientation.

Materials, finish, and durability

• Construction: 3/16" laser-cut P&O steel with 1/4" mounting plates and 1/4" winch plate.
• Tubing: bull bar uses.120” wall tubing with 1 3/4" and 1 1/2" diameter HREW sections.
• Weight: 160 lbs (no bull bar), 168 lbs with low bull bar, 174 lbs with mid-height bull bar and gussets.
• Finish options: powder coating available; if not selected, painting or powder coating is required before installation to prevent rust.
• Includes front skid plate to replace the factory plastic skid plate.

Installation and fitment considerations

• To achieve a clean installation, plan for cutting under-headlight bumper panels and trimming fender flares on both sides.
• Ensure proper orientation of parking sensors per the install video to avoid malfunctioning.
• For optimal sensor positioning, ensure the truck sits level during installation.
