Introducing the Approach Winch Bumper Series from Ascend Fabrications! One of the lowest profile and best looking production bumpers for the 3rd gen Tacoma. This bumper is guaranteed to transform the look of your vehicle, give you an unmatched approach angle, more confidence on the trails, and get you all the likes on “Front End Friday” posts. 
 
Aside from style and fitment, it was carefully engineered with materials to take a beating while keeping weight to a minimum. The hybrid wing version weighs in at roughly 100 lbs with hardware. It also features integrated mounting brackets for a Diode Dynamics SS 30" lightbar and SSC1, SSC2, or SS3 pod lights, which add performance as well as enhancing its aggressive stance.
 
Another interesting feature of this bumper is its modular design that allows the “wings'' to detach from the center section with high strength bolts. There are a few different benefits from this. First is it makes installation on the vehicle a breeze and can be easily done by a single person. Secondly, it allows for the wings or center to be swapped out in case of damage rather than needing to replace the whole bumper. Another is it allows for much more adjustability than a standard single piece design. You can slightly rotate or shim the wings of the bumper to get the perfect fitment. And lastly it allows the bumper to be packaged in a smaller box and shipped ground, saving you hundreds over what you would pay for freight on a large single piece welded bumper.
 
In addition to the traditional mounting points on the ends of the frame rails, we also included extra holes on the mounting plate of the bumper to use with high strenth hardware (included) that passes through and attaches to the frame for added winch and recovery strength.
