Backwoods Adventure Mods Just Changed the Bumper Game

If you’re looking for new bumpers for your 2016+ Toyota Tacoma, look no further than the new Hi-Lite Series from our friends at Backwoods Adventure Mods. Known for their high-quality van and full-size truck bumpers this foray into light truck bumpers is a game changer.

The Hi-Lite gets it’s name from it’s aggressive high clearance design as well as it’s ultra-light weight construction. These USA-made bumpers were created purely with the overlander in mind – to offer a great looking, affordable, full protection, strong and lightweight solution.

The Hi-Lite two-piece hybrid front bumper gives you full protection with an excellent approach angle and weighs a total of 80-pounds. The 54-pound steel winch cradle bolts directly to the frame and has recovery points and winch mounts built directly into the cradle. The bumper is wrapped with a 26-pound aluminum outer shell. The bumper includes cutouts for pod lights. Retail: $1,599.00 plus shipping.

The Hi-Lite Rear Bumper is a replacement for the vulnerable Tacoma factory bumper. Made with an aluminum body and steel mounting points, this bumper is perfect for additional protection and style. This bumper includes cutouts for 6-inch single row lights and includes license plate LEDS and a trailer wiring harness. It is a perfect replacement without any fender cuts and will bolt right on to the frame. Retail: $1,250.00 plus shipping.
