Good deal??

Hey quick question, ive seen this guy trying to sell this bumper for the last couple months along with other yota parts. And im debating if i should buy it?

He wants 80$, thats not to bad of a deal
i think i'd be sweet, not like marlincrawlers or allpro that i wanted but for 80 bucks? i could clean it up and spary it with some bedliner and i think it'd look dope.

Your going to do what you want, But I think that think looks like a lame excuse for a pre-runner light bar...

Idk how your bumper attachments are, but it doesnt look like thats a bumper, Just some sort of light bar that goes in front of the bumper

if you look at it upside-down, it may look more 'normal' with the tabs going to the frame and the two U brackets bolting to the front crossmember.

hard to say. if I had the $ and motivation I'd probably try it. if you don't like it after installing it, maybe you could get 80 after cleaning it up?

still waiting for him to reply...
yeah i got alot of money to spend for my rig so i figure why not..
i may have to drive a hour and a half to get it now...
hmm.

edit..

its about a hour to two hour drive and he wants 70$..
now is it worth it? i would like to have a bumper, but its not as big as a priority as the leafs i need.
