Totally agree…It would be way cooler if they engraved 4R in a cool font or at least left it blank instead of the R4T logo. Personally I wouldn’t want their channel’s R4T logo engraved in parts of my truck.
Great stuff! In terms of the upgrade vs. stock skid plates, what areas were completely unprotected before but now have some protection with either RCI or CGI? I have a TRD off road 2019 4R and wondering if its worth upgrading from OEM Skids. Thanks so much!
I love CBI bumpers there just so far out on ordering one! do you know any other companies that have that access panel for the winch? that way you don't have to take the entire bumper off to put one on.
When you add all the CBI bumpers and skid plates does it require upgrading the suspension? Also do the skid plates make it more difficult to do oil changes?
The after market skids have a little window cut out that allows you to change oil without have to pop off your TRD skid if you have one. It’s a fn difficult to pop abs out that thing back when doing oils changes.
We know you like lights bro..you’re the same guy who installed 4,000 LP9’s so you can see 10 miles down the road giving yourself 45 minutes to decide what turn to take…
I used to think that too until I put a 1/8 inch deep scar in mine on some rocks. For just regular over landers I would say you don’t need them. But if you’re rock crawling like I do it’s nice to have the peace of mind
Badass looking rig. I did all c4 on my 5th gen.
how much was it to have it powder coated?
I've been sold on RCI, But now you all stired up my alphabet soup and CBI is going to get my money. Thanks for the in depth review.
Haha you won’t regret it though! We’ll be stocking them so if you’d like to support us and get them quicker, be sure to check out Runnin4Tacos.com
The bumper looks sooooo good, what an epic rig
Nice setup
Sick runner bro! I got a question for you when you lifted your forerunner did you have to lower your head beams and how to do it
Thanks for the vid. Just got my gen 5 runner and am starting to get some stuff for it. Good info
Ditch the emblems cut outs and I might buy. That goes for any company.

Damn rigs are so sick !
Do you know where I can get any gray touch up paint to match the LCA/CBI? I currently have this same skid setup….thanks in advance R4T

Stock only covers the front Engine underneath. So aftermarket will give you about 75% more coverage.

How long was your wait from the time you placed your order until the time you took delivery?
Was it necessary to bend and Tie up the power steering line when installing this bumper?

Love it
One design flaw of the cbi front bumper is that it leaves the cooler lines completely exposed.
Love mine (steel), though it took about 5 months to ship...
For skid do you have to cut the bumper or can be installed with factory bumper ?
You can use skids with a factory bumper.
Can you confirm if the front skid is compatible with KDSS?
any work from you guys on a Chevy TrailBoss (2022)
Do they make this style bumper for Tacoma’s?
Will this help with cat converter theft? Want to get it for both reasons, coverage and from cat converter theft.
It will
Damn looks bad ass
Dose it cover the catalytic converters also ???
It does
What's the total weight of the skid plates
About 60 lbs steel or 40 lbs aluminum.
anybody know a brand of transmission and transfer case skids that work with the OEM TRD skid plate?
RCI

3rd!
Whoo, first! 😎
Idk about anyone else. But I find the LCA skid a gimmick..
You are 100 percent right, only weak spot is the the brackets on the frame but don't think theyvare protected with those
