Best Covert / Stealth / Center Mount Bumpers for the 2022+ 3rd Gen Tundra​


What is a Covert / Stealth / Center Mount Bumpers?

Simply a covert bumper is going to be a slim streamline bumper that only replace the center section of the OEM bumper. I like these bump styles because it keeps the OEM look of the truck while adding stuff like a winch, recovery points, and some minor protection.

Pros.....
  • Lightweight
  • Minor trimming
  • Lower Cost
  • OEM Look
Cons...
  • Not as much clearance
  • Less protection for lower OEM points
  • More Limited Options

IDK man Backwoods has a pretty solid bumper. Lightweight and stout.
Personally I think the Backwoods front bumper, rear bumper, and sliders are the best ecosystem a company makes since it all requires not cutting. They just need to give us a set of armor and it will be the complete package!
