Taco-Mount Reinforcer Plates

Strengthen your Tacoma's front bumper mounts with the TacoMount Reinforcer — a weld-on solution designed to fix and prevent bent or fatigued factory mounting points. The OEM mounts are made to support an aluminum crash bar and when a plate steel bumper is added or when doing heavy winch pulls these mounts can bend or fail completely. Built from 3/16" steel, these plates weld directly over the existing mounts and eliminate the need for bulky reinforcement brackets that interfere with aftermarket shock reservoir mounts.

Key Features:

• Fits 2nd & 3rd Gen Tacoma (2005–2023)

• Made from 3/16" plasma cut steel – durable and trail-proven

• Weld-on design – no need to remove factory bumper mounts

• Eliminates bulky reinforcement brackets – clears space for aftermarket shock reservoirs

• Optional 1/2" Grade 10.9 hardware – upgrade your mounting strength (requires welding new bolts in place)

Installation:

1. Optional: Cut off the outer OEM bumper bolts if upgrading to Grade 10.9 hardware, or leave them in place if you plan to reuse the factory bolts.

2. Prep the frame surface by cleaning down to bare metal.

3. Check and straighten any bending in the factory bumper mounting plates.

4. Weld the new reinforcement plates fully, including the center vertical slots.

5. Sand smooth and paint the area to prevent rust and ensure clean bumper fitment.

Note: These are weld-on plates. Professional installation is recommended.
