Body Armor Part #: TC-2962
Description

Tactical Departure Clearance: The Body Armor 4x4 Desert Series Rear Bumper is a performance-surgical upgrade designed for high-speed desert running and technical crawling. Its sleek, frame-wrap design drastically improves your departure angle, ensuring you don't drag your tail when dropping off ledges or navigating steep dunes.

Bulletproof Steel Plating: Forged from 3/16-inch heavy-duty steel plate, this bumper acts as a mechanical guardian for your Tacoma's rear quarters. It provides an indestructible shield against rocks and trail debris that would easily crumple the factory plastic bumper, while maintaining a relatively lightweight profile to preserve suspension performance.

Integrated Lighting Command: This bumper is a high-tech tactical hub for night wheeling. It features dual recessed pods designed to house aftermarket LED cubes, allowing you to flush-mount auxiliary reverse lights or dust lights. This keeps your lighting protected from branches and debris while flooding the trail behind you with much-needed visibility.

Rugged Armor-Grade Finish: Finished in a two-stage textured black powder coat, the Desert Series bumper is built to resist the elements. This durable coating provides superior corrosion resistance and hides trail "beauty marks," ensuring your rig maintains its professional, aggressive aesthetic even after seasons of abuse in the sand and mud.

Full Tech Integration: Designed as a direct-fit, bolt-on upgrade, this bumper is a minimalist purist's dream. It includes built-in steps for easy bed access and is engineered to retain your factory trailer hitch, license plate lights, and trailer plug, ensuring you don't sacrifice utility or safety for off-road brawn.

Details

The Body Armor 4x4 Desert Series Rear Bumper is a functional and important tactical reinforcement for your 2016-2023 Tacoma, providing a high-clearance insurance policy for those "what if" moments on the trail where a steep drop-off threatens your factory bodywork. Engineered with a slim, high-profile design, this bumper is built to drastically improve your departure angle, allowing you to navigate deep washouts and rock ledges without the constant fear of a crunch. This isn't just a hunk of metal; it’s a precision-engineered shield featuring reinforced recovery points that eliminate the vulnerability of stock plastic, so you can stop wondering about trail damage and simply drive. Body Armor 4x4 ensures that when the terrain gets technical, and the obstacles get big, your truck remains the most capable tool in the box.

Additionally, the Body Armor 4x4 Desert Series Rear Bumper is forged for the overlander who demands peak utility without the permanent scars of a heavy, bulky plate bumper. It preserves your factory towing capacity while providing a lightweight yet rugged architecture that enhances rear-end protection and integrated lighting for nighttime maneuvers. Because it focuses on a precise, bolt-on fitment, you gain professional-grade protection and a custom "desert-racer" aesthetic without sacrificing your Tacoma's iconic reliability or resale value. Body Armor 4x4 provides the armor you need to drop into the unknown with total peace of mind.
