I will soon be putting, or attempting, to put a new bumper on my 01 4runner. This is after an accident I had last summer. It will just be a replacement bumper. I have that "fat lip" bumper I have seen it called, I was just wondering if anybody has done this and how manageable of a job this is. I do have access to a lift and any tools I need so that wont be a problem, thanks for any help

 

the only problem you might have is that ( depending on how extent the accident is ) the holes might not match up. Has the body of the car been tweaked at all?

other than that, all you need is a socket set, maybe some PB blaster depending on which state you're in, and some patience.

 

Well the brush guard took most of the impact and basically just cracked the peices of the bumper I will replace. But i looked behind the bumper and nothing appears to be bent or broke besides where the brush guard is on there, but i guess we will find out.
