need me a bumper
#4
well i guess I'll post this up here...
I've got an ARB winch bumper for a Prado that I bought for my 91 SASed pickup. Instead I ended up building a tube bumper to fit the look of the truck.
(Prado bumpers are slightly wider than a hilux bumper)
I DO NOT have factory mounts for it. However, i think you could easily get some mounts made.
The bumper is in Chattanooga TN. I guess I could ship but it would cost $$.
The bumper is in great shape minus small cuts made on the mounting plates where the previous owner wanted to make it fit a straight axle hanger.
I can get pics of the mounting area and the bumper front if anyone is interested.
PRICE would be $300 bucks.....shipping would be extra of course.

here is a mount the previous owner had made...it works except i have a 2wd frame so the holes on my frame are closer together than his mounting holes

This is how his mounts worked...you just weld them into the slots in the bumper then... OF COURSE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THIS MOUNTING METHOD...there is plenty of metal there to build a mount from

Here is the bumper sitting roughly mocked on his truck...its not hard mounted


I can get newer images if you need more detail...but i'll need 12-24 hrs to get them online.
I should add that the powder coat on the visible side of the bumper is in awesome shape. Likewise both plastic bumperettes are there and in tact and the turn signals worked.

I have absolutely no idea...i picked it up locally. I shipped an old TJM bumper for a jeep one time....was 60 pound bumper and cost like 50-100 USD i think. I can check and get back to you....or if anyone else wants to chime in and help with this?
I would assume it would have to ship freight no matter what.

okay, so shipping costs ranged from over 1000 via fedex to $212 USD by a freight company.
Now the estimate was 212.47 USD (estimated weight) That would get it terminal to terminal...you'd have to pick it up at their terminal. ABF is the freight company. Now we are trying to get a friend to ship it out of his business which would lower the cost we think.
So estimated total price with shipping to that terminal would be 512 US dollars.
I understand if this is too much for you... shipping does suck...but if you're really looking for an ARB style bumper they go for 700+ shipping here for a new one, and this one looks like new, just have to mount it.

So assuming that, the front ends should be almost identical. Once again, the bumper would be slightly wider than one made for your vehicle, and you would probably have to modify the brackets or build some new ones... i'm sure any local 4wd shop (outback offroad, hudlow, etc, or any machine shop) could build brackets if you're not able.
I'm actually in Auburn, AL right now in school, but I can arrange it so you could look at the bumper. (my dad teaches at UTC and he could bring it down there one day, and meet you somewhere.)
I can also get width measurements for you.
