Made in America

We’re officially halfway through the biggest sale of the year — and the builds coming through the shop right now are wild. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your Toyota or Lexus rig, this is it.

The Black Friday Off-Road Sale at Lil B’s Custom Fab is live until December 7, but by November 18th, the mid-sale rush is kicking in:

  • Lead times begin to tighten

  • Popular bumpers are selling faster

  • Bundles are becoming the go-to choice for serious off-roaders

If you’re eyeing a new build or planning upgrades before winter trails and holiday trips, here’s everything you need to know at this stage of the sale — what’s trending, what’s almost gone, and how to maximize your build while saving big.

Why Mid-Sale Matters: The Window Is Shrinking

The early wave of orders has already locked in a big portion of our production queue. While the sale runs until December 7th, mid-November is where the clock starts ticking for off-roaders who want their parts fastest — or simply don’t want to miss their chance at year-best pricing.

Here’s what we typically see the week of Nov 18:

  • Most popular bumper models start to hit low inventory

  • Bundle orders increase, especially front + rear combos

  • Customers who “watched” early in the month finally pull the trigger

  • People prepping for holiday trips want gear before the busy season

And since everything at Lil B’s is handcrafted with purpose—not mass-produced—once slots start filling, we can’t magically create more time in the shop.

That’s why this is the week off-roaders who know what they want make their move.

The Black Friday Off-Road Savings (Quick Breakdown)

You already know the sale is strong — but halfway through the event, here’s your reminder of what’s still on the table:

  • 15% off any single Lil B’s bumper

  • 17% off when you buy two or more bumpers

  • 15% off all Lil B’s accessories

  • 10% off all third-party gear when purchased with any bumper

Every discount is automatic at checkout — no codes, no hassle.

What’s Trending So Far: Top Sellers of the Sale

Based on orders placed between Nov 1–17, these are the products customers are pairing, bundling, and adding to their builds the most.

1. Front Bumpers (Tacoma, 4Runner, and GX Series)

No surprise — front bumpers always dominate the early sale weeks.
Off-roaders want recovery points, winch integration, and improved approach angles before winter trail conditions get slippery.

The most ordered so far:

These typically hit low-availability around the end of November.

2. Rear Bumpers with Tire Carrier Compatibility

Rear bumpers see a spike mid-sale because many customers start with the front… then return for the rear.

Popular choices:

  • 4Runner rear swing-out ready bumpers

  • Tacoma rear bumpers with tow and recovery mounts

  • GX rear armor setups

Rear bumpers also pair perfectly with lighting and accessory discounts — making them a top bundle item.

3. Armor Essentials: Chop Plates, Skids, and Brackets

Trail protection is a “must,” especially for rigs running 33s or 35s.

Top-selling armor so far includes:

  • Body mount chop plates

  • Lower control arm skids

  • Frame reinforcement mounts

  • Shock and reservoir protection brackets

For many customers, these are the finishing touches to create a trail-ready system.

4. Lighting Bundles (Third-Party Brands)

Once someone buys a bumper, lights usually follow.

Most-added lighting items:

  • 20"–30" light bars for hybrid bumpers

  • Fog pocket kits

  • Ditch lights for 4Runner + Tacoma

  • Compact rear utility lights for overlanding

When bundled with a bumper, all lighting gets the extra 10% off — which is why they’re trending hard this year.

The Smartest Way to Save During the Mid-Sale Window

If you’re shopping around Nov 18, here’s how to maximize your savings before the rush intensifies:

1. Go for the 17% Front + Rear Combo

This is the biggest discount of the event — and it’s exactly what serious off-roaders are doing.

Why?

  • You save the most

  • Both bumpers arrive together

  • Everything fits as a system

  • Your truck gets protection on both sides

If you were already considering eventually buying both, this is the moment.

2. Add Your Accessories Now — Not Later

Buying accessories separately in January means paying full price.

Buying them during the sale means:

  • 15% off Lil B’s accessories

  • 10% off all third-party add-ons

  • Your install is cleaner and more complete

You’ll regret skipping these once you start your build.

3. Buy Early If You Want Faster Fabrication

This is not hype — it’s simply reality in a fabrication shop.

Historically, orders placed between Nov 16–24 get earlier build slots.
Orders placed after Nov 24 fall into the end-of-month surge and ship later.

If timing matters, this week matters.
