Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crossmember delete bumper?

The basics & what it does

A Crossmember Delete Front Bumper for the Toyota Tacoma is an off-road bumper designed to replace the factory lower crossmember with a high-clearance, heavy-duty structure. This modification improves both protection and performance by eliminating the bulky OEM crossmember and maximizing ground clearance.

Key Benefits of a Crossmember Delete Bumper:
  • Gain up to 5” of additional clearance compared to the stock bumper and crossmember.
  • Improved approach angles for navigating rocks, steep ledges, and tight trail obstacles.
  • Lightweight yet strong design (approx. 66–70 lbs) reduces front-end weight compared to traditional plate or hybrid bumpers.
  • Integrated recovery points built into the chassis with laminated D-ring plates for safe, real-world recoveries.
  • High-clearance skid plate included, featuring flush-mounted access panels for simple oil changes and stainless CNC hardware protection.
  • Reinforced with weld-on frame plates for long-term durability and confidence in extreme off-road conditions.

Why Upgrade?

The stock Tacoma crossmember sits low, catching on rocks, dirt ledges, and trail debris. A crossmember delete bumper moves this section higher into the frame, providing a smoother, stronger, and more functional undercarriage design. The result is an extra 5” of clearance, weight savings and the confidence to take on technical terrain without worrying about getting hung up.
Why should i choose DRT's Crossmember Delete Front bumper over others?

While there are several crossmember delete bumpers on the market, the DRT Fabrication Crossmember Delete Bumper stands apart because we don’t cut corners. Yes, we’re often the more expensive option—but there’s a reason for that. Every single aspect of our bumper has been thoroughly and intentionally engineered for strength, function, and ease of use.

Here’s Why DRT Leads the Industry:
  • 1-Piece Main Design

    Built with a 1.75” DOM main tube, not 1.5” tubing.

    We use a true one-piece construction with fully welded supports, not bolt-on brackets with Grade 5 hardware like some competitors.
  • Lighting Provisions Standard

    Every DRT bumper comes with integrated lighting mounts for popular off-road lights (Squadron, S2, and more). No extra brackets required.
  • Attention to Detail, Inside and Out

    From recovery points to skid integration, every component is designed to work together as a complete system. Nothing is an afterthought.

The DRT Difference

At DRT Fabrication, we believe in building parts that are “Built Right. Built Light.” That means investing more time, better materials, and smarter design so you get a bumper that lasts longer, performs better, and installs cleaner.

When you buy DRT, you’re not just buying a bumper, you’re buying peace of mind that every trail obstacle, recovery, and install detail has already been engineered with you in mind.
