Comparison Case Study CBI vs C4 BUMPER FOR TACOMA AND 4RUNNER

Stealth Bumper For 2016-2023 Tacoma

When outfitting your Toyota Tacoma or 4Runner with a high-quality bumper, the choice of brand can significantly impact your vehicle's performance and overall satisfaction. At Cali Raised LED, we've designed our Stealth Bumper to not only meet but exceed the expectations set by competitors like CBI Offroad Fab and C4 Fabrication. Cali Raised LED stands out in several key areas, starting with lead time. While the CBI Offroad Fab Covert Front Bumper and the C4 Fabrication Front Lo-Pro Winch Bumper both have lengthy lead times of 8 to 9 weeks, Cali Raised LED has our Stealth Bumper in stock and ready to ship (lead times as of July 2024). This means you won’t be left waiting for months to receive the bumper you've spent your hard-earned money on, allowing you to upgrade your vehicle right away.

BUMPER ADD-ON OPTIONS

Another critical factor is the add-on options for your bumper. CBI Offroad Fab and C4 Fabrication both charge extra for essential features like a bull bar and powder coating. Cali Raised LED includes these features in our standard price with no upcharges, ensuring you receive a fully equipped bumper without any hidden costs. It's important to note that if you purchase a raw bumper from C4 Fabrication, you'll need to take it to a powder coater yourself, which can cost between $200 and $400, resulting in additional time and expense.

BUMPER QUALITY

In terms of quality, all options are made in the USA: Cali Raised LED in Fort Worth, Texas; CBI Offroad Fab in Idaho Falls, Idaho; and C4 Fabrication in Sturgis, South Dakota. However, Cali Raised LED sets the bar higher with a sturdy 1/4" frame mount thickness, surpassing the 3/16" offered by the competition. This extra thickness translates to enhanced durability and quality. Installation is also simpler with our bumper, requiring only minimal cutting and no edge trimming, ensuring a cleaner, more professional look once installed.
