Introducing the 3G Tacoma Mid-Pro bumper from Ascend Fabrications! This bumper is guaranteed to transform the look of your vehicle, give you an unmatched approach angle, more confidence on the trails, and get you all the likes on “Front End Friday” posts. Aside from style and fitment, it was carefully engineered with materials to take a beating while keeping weight to a minimum. It weighs in at roughly 65 lbs with hardware!
 
The bumper covers the important bits up front then the customer "viper" cuts the bumper the rest of the way to the fenders. This gives the customer a little more creative freedom and also allows for more options with aftermarket fenders or so you don't have to modify the bumper to work with clearanced fenders for LT or larger tires.
 
 
PRICING AND OPTIONS:
Main bumper starts at $1250 uncoated. (Price may change)
(Optional) Powdercoat main steel bumper +$350, powdercoat bumper & aluminum cover +$400.
 
WINCH FITMENT:
The bumper was designed using the Harbor Freight Badlands Apex 12K with synthetic line.
Other similar sized or smaller winches may fit.
Must have a 4.5"x10" mounting pattern.
Depending on winch size you might have to relocate the control box or remove/cut brackets behind the grill.
 
SKID PLATE COMPATIBILITY:
Not guaranteed to work with all aftermarket skid plates.
If the skid ends just under the lower front crossmember or sticks past the front surface by less than 1-1/4", it should work. Can reach out for confirmation before ordering.
RCI, Victory 4x4, CaliRaised, CBI, and All-Pro are all compatible. 
Will work with TRD skids. However there is a considerable amount of overlap and it's recomended to go to an aftermarket skid. You might also need to lower the TRD skid with spacers to avoid interference.
Will work with the standard black oem skid.
 
POWDERCOATING INFO:
Highly durable carbon black (light texture) powdercoat.
All parts are chemically cleaned, sand blasted, and coated with a zinc primer for extra corrosion resistance prior to being top coated.
Optional to also have the lower aluminum cover coated. Or can leave it raw for a two tone look.
Powdercoated parts are not stocked and are coated per order, which adds additional lead time before shipment.
Powdercoat cost also includes added labor and materials to protect the bumper to make sure it has the best chance of arriving undamaged.
 
LIGHTING OPTIONS:
The bumper features a slotted bracket across the top center just bellow the vehicle's grill. You can mount multiple pod lights here. 
Was designed around the Diode Dynamics SS3 pods. Other pods of similar size may fit but are not guaranteed. You may have to make custom offset brackets to move the pods forward slightly if they are deeper than the SS3's.
 
OTHER COOL FEATURES:
10 total mounting points!
Includes large M10 bolts to pass through the frame and internal nut plates to bolt to for additional pulling strength. 
Weighs in at roughly 65 lbs with hardware.
Uses 1/2" thick steel as vertical sub structure going from the mounting plates to the main tube of the bumper. They also feature a shackle mounting point with a 3/16" bung welded on either side bringing the total shackle mount thickness to 7/8".
Has removable/replaceable lower aluminum cover for easy winch bolt access.
