Combined Upgrade: Front Bumper + Sliders with Step for Your Tacoma

When it’s time to elevate your Toyota Tacoma (2016‑23) with serious capability and smart styling, these two upgrades from Smittybilt work together seamlessly. One covers the front end for recovery, lighting and protection, the other reinforces the sides while giving a functional step. Here’s what each brings—and how they differ.

Key Features & Benefits – Front Bumper – SB61248W:

• 🛠️ Heavy‑duty steel construction with full‑width protection and a low‑profile bull bar for extra front‑end defense.
• 🎯 Winch‑ready up to ~12,000 lbs: built to support heavy recovery gear straight out of the box.
• 💡 Integrated lighting provisions: includes cut‑outs for 2″×2″ pods and a mount point for a 20″ light bar.
• 🔩 Welded D‑ring/recovery point mounts: two chamfered recovery tabs for secure anchor points.
• 🎨 Rugged powder‑coat finish: trail‑ready and built to resist chips, corrosion and wear.

Key Features & Benefits – Sliders w/ Step – SB61648W:

• 🛡️ Wheel‑to‑wheel side protection: covers from the front door area back to the rear of the short‑bed model.
• 🔧 Frame‑mounted, bolt‑on installation for solid structural attachment.
• 🚪 Integrated step plate and rear “kick‑out”: easier entry/exit plus extra protection around the bed side.
• 🎛️ Rock‑light mount points pre‑built: ready for auxiliary lighting under vehicle sides if you want it.

Why Add It?

If you’re looking to elevate your Toyota Tacoma’s performance and capability, this front bumper is a key upgrade. It offers robust front‑end protection for serious off‑road use and daily driving alike—whether you’re tackling rocky terrain, navigating trail obstacles, or need to be ready for a recovery scenario with winch‑prepared mounting. At the same time, it maintains a clean, integrated look so your Tacoma stays sharp, not overbuilt. Add this bumper to give your rig durability, utility and confidence—front to back.

When your build includes side‑impact risks (rocks, ledges, trails) or you frequently hop in/out of your Tacoma (gear, roof‑rack, crew), these sliders/step add utility and protection—covering the sides in a way many upgrades overlook.
