Rock Defense Rear Bumper | 4WD
Armor your classic Toyota with the industry's premier trail protection: the Rock Defense Rear Bumper. Specifically engineered for the 6-lug 4WD Pickup, this bumper is built for the driver who demands high-clearance performance without sacrificing structural integrity. Unlike standard mild-steel bumpers, the Rock Defense series is constructed from high-strength 1035 DOM tubing, providing a rigid shield against impacts that would otherwise crush your factory bed corners and tailgate.
Performance Engineering for the '89-'95 Pickup
- DOM Tubing Construction: Built using 1.74" OD x .120" wall thickness 1035 DOM tubing. This provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio and increased dent resistance compared to standard electric-resistance welding (ERW) tubing.
- Integrated 2" Receiver: Features a built-in 2-inch hitch receiver, maintaining a sleek, tucked profile while providing a versatile mounting point for hitch-style accessories.
- Optimized Departure Angle: The high-clearance design is tucked tight to the chassis, allowing you to descend off ledges and rocks without the bumper "dragging" or hanging up on the terrain.
- Precision Chassis Mounting: Designed to bolt directly to the Toyota Pickup frame rails, ensuring that impact energy is distributed through the chassis rather than the body.
Key Features
- Rugged Minimalist Aesthetics: The aggressive tube-style design complements the iconic, squared-off lines of the 1989-1995 chassis while signaling professional trail-readiness.
- Corrosion Protection for Shipping: Each bumper is shipped unpainted and lightly oiled to ensure it arrives at your door free of surface rust and ready for your choice of paint or powder coat.
- Trail-Proven Durability: Specifically jigged for a consistent fit, ensuring a straightforward installation process that utilizes factory mounting locations.
- Industry-Leading Heritage: One of the first in the industry to utilize 100% DOM tubing for maximum reliability on technical rock crawling trails.

Installation Instructions
-Note: Ensure the bumper is thoroughly cleaned and all protective oil is removed prior to painting.
1. Align the bumper with the rear of the vehicle. Ensure all required mounting hardware is organized and within reach before beginning the installation.
2. Slide the bumper mounting brackets into the factory frame rail apertures. Ensure the mounting plates are fully seated against the frame for proper bolt alignment.
3. Assemble the washers onto the provided bolts and insert them through the aligned mounting holes. Maintain a loose fit at this stage to allow for final bumper leveling and adjustment.
4. Level and center the bumper for an even fit, then fully tighten all mounting hardware. Ensure the gap between the bumper and the body is uniform on both sides before securing the bolts.
