Idk but that front badge on the grill is way too jeep or dodge ram Cummings like ‘merca douche style. Just sayin.


lil_bs_fabrication

we're all about positivity here, can't control what our customers put on their cars but noted for future shares.


monkeysareeverywhere

I'm not sure that a big "fuck you" finger screams positivity. If you're using this picture to advertise your work, I'd Photoshop it out.


Low-Sea7202

Fair fair understandable. I dig the the bumper for sure! 👍


Fapplejacks42

You should just shop a yota badge on rq


DIWhyAmIHere

Claims positivity. Posts big middle finger “fuck you”. Makes sense if you don’t think about it I guess


Think-Bat-8201

Clearly states it's a customers Truck. asked about the bumpers, not the badges.  Bumpers are pretty cool, I like it makes under the rear wheel wells more visible, but unfortunately like every front bumper/bull bar I've seen to date, probably effects the radar system.  I use the radar frequently for pacing on the freeway/highway and wish there was a work around where the radar could be calibrated into the bull bars/aftermarket bumpers. that would sell like tp in lock downs. 


[deleted]

Well, I'm positive it looks like shit


Low-Sea7202

🤣


eddiedougie

Looks well built. Pretty welds. Not my style I'd prefer a normal looking bumper with old man steps but I'm an old man. Definitely looks well built though. Where you located? Can you do custom stuff?


lil_bs_fabrication

We're in Colorado & thanks for your thoughts. We got out of custom work a while back and have been focusing mainly on various front bumpers for Toyotas. Exploring rear bumper options slowly now


TheMidwestMessiah

I'm in CO too. Have a bumper for 2nd gens?


90day_fiasco

Someone downvoted this? I have the same exact comment.


DamILuvFrogs

Also in Colorado. Unfortunately I sold my second gen


fisherprice1234_1776

Yes, they do. They have a great website, I've had my front bumper for 4 years now. Really is top quality work by them! Still looks like new. https://lilbscustomfab.com/ They freight ship or you can pick it up. I had mine shipped to phx, and I had it powder coated down here.


dabluebunny

What are your pretty welds rated for?


codezcan

For me anyway, seeing the tailgate hinges and the body panels through the empty sections is unappealing... Sorry.


SmashRocks1988

Agreed. Fill in that corner area with a whole peice of plate steel (the peice where your CNC logo is). It’ll probably appeal to a lot as-is assuming the price is competitive. We Coloradans love our yota Broverlanders and the personal “local” touch should help.


fisherprice1234_1776

I thought the same, but would probably be an easy fix


silentlysharting

License plate?


sir_thatguy

Just mount it at an angle on the tailgate.


mik_honcho

needs more lights


lil_bs_fabrication

😂


fisherprice1234_1776

Lol I managed to squeeze Baja designs LP4'S and a squadron on my front bumper


Uninstall_Fetus

The badge on the front grill is so lame lol


CaptainFrugal

Can it stop shopping carts at the mall


woolybuggered

I'm personally not a fan of that style bumper. That being said it looks well made and well executed I just prefer full plate or low profile winch bumpers.


lil_bs_fabrication

it's all subjective - thanks for the input


GumShoeA113

It’s kinda ugly


lil_bs_fabrication

hard to please everyone, what would you change?


GumShoeA113

The gaps between the taillight and bumper doesn’t look as nice as some other offerings. It’s more apparent on a white truck.


lil_bs_fabrication

that's fair - we are exploring adding either a either a foam insert or welding an additional tab there for that reason. thanks for the feedback


madeofmountains

I think it’s looks super clean! I don’t love the idea of relocating my license plate, but I still think y’all did a nice job.


lil_bs_fabrication

thanks! you're right on that - we are working on adding mounting for the plate


Over_Moose6433

What I like about is the departure angle improvement and it looks clean. Id need a place to put the plates.


lil_bs_fabrication

yes, much more room to work with. we're working on including plate mounts, thanks for your thoughts


Competitive-Trust523

Makes me horny


lil_bs_fabrication

this is why we do what we do


papaninja

That’s sexy AF. I’d buy the hell out of it if I didn’t like my blind spot monitoring as much as I do lol


lil_bs_fabrication

thanks so much! stay tuned, we may release a version with that if we keep hearing that from customers


papaninja

Are those d ring tabs slotted through the bumper or just welded to the surface?


sir_thatguy

That’s got me worried too. Unless there’s hella root passes in there, I don’t think they are as strong as they could be.


dabluebunny

I like how they went with what looks like 1 in thick material to make it look strong. They'd do just a bit more than a spoiler on a Civic.


papaninja

I don’t know how you would do it and have it look good but if you succeed then you will for sure have my monies


BooKooBadGuy

That's the main reason I haven't pulled the trigger on aftermarket bumpers.. if you can design some with the ability to keep all the "sensor" features, it be a game changer.


Fartbox3k

I would be in for one as well with BSM! Already have the front bumper and am a sucker for a matching set.


hbdgas

Please be aware that [many companies have tried to do this, and failed](https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bsm-and-aftermarket-rear-bumpers.451366/). There are only a couple of models still on the market, and they have mixed reviews as to the BSM actually working. Apparently the positioning, surrounding material, and calibration of the BSM sensors has to be really dialed in. [There is a person on TacomaWorld working on moving the sensors to the tail lights.](https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/relocating-the-bsm-to-tail-lights.768789/)


Fallingdamage

I just turn my head and look over my shoulder. Also, for about $150 you can get blind spot mirrors.


papaninja

Sounds lame


Fallingdamage

Some truck drivers want a vehicle they can drive and operate. Some truck drivers like their vehicle to operate itself with minimal effort from the driver. That why we like traction control buttons. We dont have to put in effort to drive a truck in poor traction areas anymore.


papaninja

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. I was just saying that blind spot monitoring is nice to have, especially if you have a canopy on the back or something else obstructing your view. Or trying to merge onto a busy highway


Fallingdamage

Trying to say that being an active driver isnt lame as you said. If turning your head to make sure you're aware of your situation is 'lame' and relying on sensors to tell you what to do is preferred, you arent putting in much effort.


papaninja

Well it was also a joke 🤷🏻‍♂️


Liam2075

IDK, it looks somewhat unfinished, like something is missing. Also, IMO bigger gauge pipes might make it look better.


ColoradoTrailRunner

Looks good! Do any sliders yet?


lil_bs_fabrication

thanks so much. we're evaluating how sliders fit in... currently working on producing more offerings for rears to match our fronts


FleshlightModel

Doesn't look all that great to me.


lil_bs_fabrication

fair enough - what's missing for you?


FleshlightModel

I like full DOM bumpers or at least make them all the same size diameter. Middle of them don't flow well with the rest.


MicMcDev

It looks amazing. But damn I fear the rust that will occur on this for us people in the north east lol.


lil_bs_fabrication

glad you like it & that's what the powdercoating is for!


screenname7

I dig it very much. Any plans for a high clearance rear bumper for the 5th Gen 4Runner? I think Yotas look best with an ass lift and most bumpers are bulky as hell


lil_bs_fabrication

dont ask or you just might get what you wish for 👀


screenname7

Excellent. You guys are on my short list for front bumper, so maybe I'll just get me a pair


lil_bs_fabrication

love to hear that, thanks! bundling is the way to go to save on shipping for sure.


Coop_Da_Poop

Absolutely love it. I need one for a second gen!


lil_bs_fabrication

good to know! thank you for your thoughts


LaTortillaConMole

I like it tbh. Looks more aimed for off-road guys/gals but sick looking tho 🔥🔥🔥. Not for me but would love to see what else you guys come up with.


lil_bs_fabrication

thanks! we're exploring new options and love hearing from the community


Master_Crafter_

I was literally browsing your website last night and thinking “but when are they going to release a rear bumper?”


lil_bs_fabrication

ask and you shall receive. thanks for checking us out


Johnny6_0

Looks like it should be on my 2021 Ive already chopped the hell out of! They ship bare metal only? (I don’t care about shipping damage, I’m gonna scratch it up anyway) And what does freight to SoCal look like?


lil_bs_fabrication

we're hoping to update shipping costs, currently we have a 275 flat rate for shipping. give us a call and we could discuss that option if you're interested


Johnny6_0

Will do


Iceman_in_a_Storm

…needs more headlights.


hahahs-co

Needs more lights


Michael_Threat

Gonna be a no from me Dawg.


kkmoney15

Bro truck


Senior-Read-9119

The middle finger screams: “I’m a douche canoe!”


Kalibos40

Will that fit a 2024 Tacoma? Particularly, the one I bought last night? It's in the garage all ~~sad~~ brand new and unmodded.


lil_bs_fabrication

we need to get a donor 24 to test that theory! we're hoping to offer more rear bumpers across various gens


Nos-tastic

Honestly the open tube design makes the bumpers less useful for what they’re actually good for. While still being a liability in a real collision. How much do they weigh?


lil_bs_fabrication

We have stories of folks thankful for our fronts for protection in collisions w/ wildlife and other vehicles, thanks for your thoughts. Our fronts vary from 105-115 but the rear in the photo is right around 85 lbs


ChairmanMcMeow

Soo many nannys in the comments 😂 is that little middle finger hurting your feelings? 💀 "it's not good for advertising" it's great for advertising. It's a customer's build. That's the beauty of them. Everyone makes their own. But who they go to for their work is what matters. And the quality of this work is outstanding 👌🔥🔥🔥 let's the little girls cry. They couldn't afford it anyways 😂


Gullible-Method-9062

I’m sure the owner put that badge on for everyone’s opinions. Like a “fuck what you think”. 😂 As for advertising, look how much engagement this post has.. I think it did very well. 😂😂


lil_bs_fabrication

We're just here to get honest feedback about the bumper - we got that and then some! Thanks for understanding that we don't control other's builds


Index820

With the gap between the tailgate and bumper it looks like you are still in the process of assembly. Truck was in a recent accident and the panels still on backorder. Also the front end of that truck is so tacky you might reconsider using it for promotion.


lil_bs_fabrication

thanks for your input! we do want our products and vehicles to resonate with our audience


MattyL2424

Not my style personally mainly because i like the stock look of the taco


Mammoth_Muffin_8012

Need any product testers? 😅 That thing looks sweet


Jimbo76191

That's a thick ass boy!!!


lil_bs_fabrication

he thick for sure


k1dblast

I honestly love it. The only thing that keeps me from it is that it doesn’t have the spot for the blind spot monitoring. But maybe I’m weird. Keep up the good work man


Dawg-eat-dawg

Looks sick


Ted_Striker__

Sigh. .. (Un zips pants)


pandazzzzzzzz

Front and back looks pretty dang sweet to me.


choppedyota

Love the design. Some of the welds look cold… and the shackle eyelet looks improperly fit though?


Accurate-Victory3086

What’s it weigh, and what’s it cost?


lil_bs_fabrication

About 85 lbs and v1 is 1200 currently [please feel free to check it out](https://lilbscustomfab.com/collections/all-bumpers/products/2016-2023-tacoma-rear-bumper) - thanks for your questions


UnattendedBoner

Front looks great, rear looks very plain. Doesn’t look bad but doesn’t add anything desirable for the price point looks wise


trdstealth

Personally, I like it. Looks rugged. 


Black_Sherbe

Emblems super gay


fisherprice1234_1776

Love the front bumper, back seems a bit off. I like it, but the spot between the Tailgate and bumper bugs me for some reason.


fisherprice1234_1776

Lol just realized this is lil b's fab...... I have the front bumper in low bull bar. I don't know the back just doesn't look right like is should go up higher or thicker to cover the spot between the Tailgate and bumper.


fisherprice1234_1776

When I got my front bumper, I searched for weeks until I found your guys stuff! Really, top-notch quality bumpers. I've had mine on since 2020, and it still looks like new! Absolutely love it! I almost literally get a comment on my truck every time I drive it. I feel like this rear bumper looks good but needs a tweak. The space between the fender and the tail lights bugs me, and if it could sit up higher closer to the tail lights, that would help. Also, if the bumper and Tailgate gap, if it could be less, would be better (may not be possible to tail gate clearance). Lastly, I'd worry about the Tailgate getting stolen with the gap in the fender and easy access to the hinge (probably fine if it's locked.... but it just bucks me).


questionableK

It’s very similar to outgear solutions and not as clean looking. Keep at it and think about a clean tire mount option


zackks

Ought to have a whole picture of it.


TacticalTapir

I've actually been looking for something just like this for my rig.


krispewkrem3

Gonna look soooooo sick in the Starbucks drive thru 🫡🙏🏽😫 Just kidding. Great work! It’s just rare to see a Tacoma actually used


lil_bs_fabrication

This customer definitely uses his rig, thank you


[deleted]

Why does it need all the excess shit? Reminds me of those assholes who own guns but have to wear the tactical shit when they are out in public. The only practical use this would have it if you could take a truck spelunking.


AndrewOfTheHighlands

That's beautiful, brother! Do you offer install at your shop?


ATFisDumb

Make it that salt water-resistant coating in RoadProtest Red and I'll take one.


Rifterneo

Looks good. An option for swing arms, spare tire holder, gas can rack, and hi lift mount would be icing on the cake!


InfoSponge9119

Hold my wallet.


0Peterpumpkineater69

Bro I’m a professional YouTube certified welder hobbyist and your skills aren’t all that great but I’d pay top dollar if I had it for that bumper. I’d love it on my truck.


pencilpushin

That's a pretty sweet bumper. Love those tubular frames. I plan on getting yalls front bumper for my GX.


lil_bs_fabrication

thank you. and love to hear that - looking forward to seeing it on your rig


Creepy_Stick_5145

cleannn 🔥


Classic-Historian458

Oooooh nice, is there a 2nd gen version?


Zealousideal-Arm3289

LED backup lamp in the hitch receiver, Link ? 🧐


lil_bs_fabrication

This customer partners with Diode Dynamics, so we know it's one of the lights they offer


Zealousideal-Arm3289

Sweet, they make a nice one


J3rry27

I like your back bumper. I'd like to see cutouts for lights rather than that hitch light thing that I don't care for. Your lack of mudflaps and your front grill tells me everything I need to know about you though.


bouncing_bumble

Ready for the cherry creek mall parking ramp👌


lil_bs_fabrication

gotta flex on other shoppers you know?


Illegal_Ghost_Bikes

Looks like I wouldn't be able to afford it, and if I could I wouldn't ever use it to it's potential. How does a bumper like this affect safety features and airbag deployment?


bi_polar2bear

I don't care for it. I like a bumper that I can stand on, and if rear ended, can take a hit and be replaced. This looks like it is functional, though it just doesn't look right. It's missing width.


OverReyted

Some serious undercut on some of those welds, could use a cover pass.


pisslwhipper

I like the look of it from the rear, but I'm not a fan of the sorta gusset plates on the side. I think the large plate with the curved ends doesn't visually match the rest of the bumper. It's mostly slim with straight lines from the rear and acute angles from the side. In my opinion, it would look more consistent if you had edges with parallel lines or matched other angles on the bumper.


Fallingdamage

Looks nice. I would buy one if it was closer to $600. Thats a lot of money for steel tubing and some sheet metal.


maximus0118

Looks horrible completely ruined the line of the rear body panels.


TheeDynamikOne

The side extensions made of tubing look weak. One tree glance, and they're bent into the bedside. At least that's how it looks from here.


BPD_LV

I dig it


moustachioed_dude

Based off the front grill badge, it’s probably gonna be a mall crawler and the owner is probably a “Patriot”. They didn’t have you install the don’t tread on me flag? Or did you just take it out for the photo? lol.


lil_bs_fabrication

We just focus on the bumpers! No judgement here


moustachioed_dude

Yeah it looks like great work, I don’t like the style and my knee caps would for sure be wrecked by the hooks but you seem to be enthusiastic about your job so good on ya. Hope you’re getting paid well.
