I am planning to get some kind of aluminum front winch bumper (and a winch, of course) for my Tacoma with a Fleet. We're often on roads that would justifiy the expense.
For those with this common combo, you know the Fleet sticks out of the bed of the truck six inches or so. I don't want a swing out bumper for the back, and I find it hard to justify a change in the back just for the look of it—I'd have to swap out the hitch as well as the bumper—it gets expensive.
Besides we use the hitch now to support a small simple wooden platform to exit and enter the Fleet door. We don't want any kind of stair, the platform is fine, so I don't know, maybe I'll do nothing. But I wondered if anyone else had thought about this issue in this way. I have checked past discussions and did not see anything that addressed this issue in this way...
If I could get a bumper that would extend enough so that it would protect the camper, then that would be an example of a reason that could, for me, justify the cost. Thoughts? Or do I just have too much time to think about this stuff?
