The Hi-Lite Overland Front Bumper with Bull Bar replaces the factory front end on 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma trucks with a high-clearance hybrid design from Backwoods Adventure Mods. A triple-hoop bull bar guards the grille and headlights, and cut-back corners open up approach angle on ledges and rocks.

Rather than picking steel or aluminum, the Hi-Lite uses both: a 30 lb aluminum shell that can't rust, bolted to a 54 lb steel winch cradle with recovery points tied straight to the frame, for a total of just 84 lb. The cradle takes winches up to 12,000 lb, hand cutouts give winch access, and a flat top carries a 30-inch light bar. Black powder coat and Grade 8 hardware are included.

One person can bolt it on, and it keeps factory TSS, the TRD skid plate and R4T bumper caps. Factory fog lights don't carry over, winches taller than 10.1 in need the solenoid relocated, and some trucks need a small tweak to the front transmission line. Backwoods Adventure Mods backs the structure with a lifetime warranty, and we ship it free within the contiguous U.S.

Questions we get

Will my winch fit?Most winches up to 12,000 lb drop right in. If yours is taller than 10.1 in (the WARN ZEON is 10.5 in), plan to relocate the solenoid or slightly modify the crossmember.

Does it work with Toyota Safety Sense?Yes. The Hi-Lite keeps the factory TSS sensor working, and on the 2024+ Tacoma it also keeps the parking sensors. 5th gen 4Runners with the forward-facing camera need BAM's TSS relocation bracket (not compatible with the prerunner).

Can I keep my factory fog lights?No, the factory fogs don't carry over. The wings have cutouts for most aftermarket pod lights instead.

How hard is the install?It's a bolt-on one person can handle, and BAM has an install video for each generation. Some 3rd gen Tacomas need a minor tweak to the front transmission line.

Does the winch have to come off with the bumper?No. The winch can be mounted to the truck separately from the bumper.

Do I need the frame support brackets?If you plan to winch, yes. Backwoods sells frame support brackets for the Tacoma and 4Runner bumpers and calls them a must for winching.

How is the bull bar different from the prerunner?The bull bar adds a full triple-hoop guard over the grille and headlights; the prerunner uses a single center hoop and leaves the front end more open.
