RCI Offroad Arapaho Series Front Bumper | Toyota Tacoma (2016-2023)

The RCI Metalworks front bumper for the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma (3rd Gen) is engineered to replace the stock bumper with a strong, trail-ready steel assembly that enhances both protection and capability. Built from heavy-gauge steel and precisely welded, it guards the front end from trail hazards like rocks, logs, and stumps while maintaining a functional, purposeful appearance that complements the Tacoma’s rugged design.

This bumper is winch-ready and designed to support a wide range of recovery winches — providing a solid platform for mounting and using high-capacity winches during challenging situations. Its internally reinforced structure spreads impact forces into the vehicle’s frame, ensuring durable performance over repeated use on demanding terrain.

Provisioned with light bar and auxiliary light mounts, the bumper gives you flexible options for additional illumination on night trails. With a bolt-on installation that uses factory mounting points, it’s a practical upgrade for overland builds, off-road trucks, or daily drivers needing enhanced protection without compromising fitment or finish.
