RCI Offroad Arapaho Series Front Bumper | Toyota Tacoma (2005-2015)

The RCI Metalworks Arapaho Series Front Bumper for the 2005–2015 Toyota Tacoma (2nd Gen) is engineered to elevate front-end protection and off-road capability without compromising fit or finish. Built from heavy-gauge steel plate and precision-welded substructure, this bumper replaces the stock plastic fascia with rugged steel that can withstand trail impacts, brush, and debris.

Designed to seamlessly follow the Tacoma’s factory body lines, the Arapaho bumper offers a clean, integrated look while providing serious strength. It includes a built-in winch mounting plate that ties directly to the truck’s frame, supporting winches up to 10,000 lb — plus tab mounts for a control box and compatibility with most major winch brands.

For added versatility, the bumper is configurable with or without light hoops and includes provisions for a single-row LED light bar and slotted pod light mounts for fog or cube lights. Its bolt-on design attaches to factory mounting points (minor trimming of the OEM plastic is required), making it a strong, durable upgrade for serious off-roaders and daily drivers alike.
