2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma Winch Mount Kit

From: $518.90

This is a low profile DIY weld-together winch mount kit for the 2nd generation (2005-2015) Toyota Tacoma. It replaces the lower center section of the factory bumper, providing extra protection while still maintaining a mostly stock appearance. The low weight compared to a full fender to fender bumper greatly reduces the effect on your vehicles suspension and handling.  It features a bolt-on design, protected winch mount, integrated recovery points, and LED pod light mounts (Optional light bar cut out available too). It offers excellent protection from trail obstacles and distracted drivers and has been kept to a weight of 60lbs through careful design work.

Description

This winch mount comes with an integrated LED pod light mounts (custom light cut outs available by request, such as a light bar version), an integrated winch mount to accept all standard 8-12k lb winches with removable solenoids, and heavy duty 9/16″ recovery points that are placed directly in line with the Toyota Tacoma’s frame to eliminate any leveraging effects. These recovery points are formed by laser cut steel plates that pass through the bumper shell and tie directly into the Toyota Tacoma frame as part of the bumper’s main mounting brackets. The recovery points then get welded to the in and outside of the bumper shell. These factors all combine to form recovery points that minimize stress on your Tacoma’s frame and provide reliable recoveries of heavily loaded vehicles in the worst of offroad situations. What could make this bumper even better? The low profile design has resulted in very reasonable weights of 60lbs for the steel bumper and 31lbs for the aluminum version. Considering that this bumper replaces your factory bumper and associated components, the resulting weight increase to your Tacoma is almost zero. This reduces added stress on your vehicle, maintains precious payload capacity, and allows you to keep your factory suspension if desired.

The main section of this bumper is CNC-bent out of a single piece of  3/16″ P&O Steel. This greatly reduces the amount of welding and grinding required by you and makes for a cleaner finished product. If you are paying to have the bumper assembled by a welding shop, this significantly lowers the cost.

•DIY Weld-together kit – This bumper arrives as precision CNC-laser cut pieces that you then weld together (detailed assembly instructions included)

•CNC-bent plates greatly reduces amount of welding and grinding required by you and makes for a cleaner finished product

• Provides a winch mount, offroad recovery points, and LED light mounts while keeping the factory bumper (trimming of factory bumper required)

•Protected winch mount fits all standard 8000-12,000lb winches with removable solenoids

•Integrated 9/16″ thick clevis mounts allow the use of 3/4″ D-Rings and pull directly off of the frame for confident recoveries of heavily loaded vehicles

• Integrated LED pod mounts – slotted mounting tabs give tons of adjustment to fit a wide variety of surface mount pod lights

• Integrated license plate mount

• All kits ship as clean, bare metal that is ready to weld out of the box – the Nitrogen laser cutting technology means no cutting edge oxidation and thus easier and stronger welds

• Optional heavy duty grill tubing for added protection

Winch Mount assembly

As for welding, with everything designed using CAD software and then CNC laser-cut to size, the pieces fit together perfectly and this makes for a very simple assembly process. All kits come with detailed instructions with plenty of clearly labelled diagrams that are made using cutting-edge CAD software. This bumper kit is well within the ability of a novice welder and many customers have purchased it as their very first welding project with great results! This is made possible by the clean parts fit-ups and thick material. These are two factors that make welding significantly easier. Welding is one of those skills that is easier to learn than you may think and once you can do it, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it. Alternatively, many individuals buy the kits and then have a local welder assemble it for them. Even in this case, it typically ends up being less expensive than buying a pre-fabricated bumper – especially after considering the lower shipping costs of our kits vs. fully assembled bumpers.
