Hey guys,

I'm a newbie to yotatech, so be gentle with me.
I've been looking high and low for an off the shelf tubular rear bumper fro my '01 Tacoma. I know I could make one, but between owning my own general contracting company, and building my own house (myself), I haven't had the time to fire up the ole MIG.

I've found plenty of them for jeeps, but nada for Toyota trucks, which I find odd, since I see them around town once in a while,

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

 

two words JUNK YARD! the best things in the world are in the jusk yard i bought my whole truck and almost everything i put on it in the junk yard!

 

Not tube but looks better IMO.

I've already been that route. Mesilla, NM has a pop. of 2,500 and even in neighboring Las Cruces, I've come up dry. If I could make time to get to El Paso, I might have better luck, but no time to try. Thanks anyway.

 

These look like interesting options. I was thinking more in the lines of a simplier two tube arrangement with a receiver hitch between them. Jeeps use this type and I've seen them on mini trucks too.

Maybe there is a universal type which just needs brackets fabbed up?

I've only had my truck since January, and it came with the rear bumber a little banged up. Rather than buying a new OEM type, I thought a tubular type would be cooler.

Here's a photo of the rear.

Any other ideas?

 

kinda sounds like your lookin for a smittybilt. they dont make them anymore but if you can find one it would be pretty easy to adapt it to your truck

 

This is the one we are going to buy...mainly because I can't weld but I also really like the looks of the design. Dave'z offroad.

 

Thanks for the lead. Maybe I'll try a search on fleabay. Where these meant for Jeeps? If so, do you know if Jeep tube bumpers fit resonably well on a Tacoma?

Thanks again!

That is very cool. Do you have the email or web address for Dave'z? Thanks very much!

 

Go here, Davez, select the new parts for sale forum, select bumpers....

 

yeah they were made for toyotas. Looks like they only make jeep products now. Here is a pic from a member on this forum of what it looks like.

 

marlin FTW!

 

Yeah........ that's the ticket! Wonder how hard it would be to adapt one to a T-ota?

Thanks for the pic.

 

I have that exact same bumper on my truck. I love it. Mine has a class III hitch receiver

 

I have a Smittybuilt like 85turborunner has, just gathering dust. PM me if interested. I got it off a jeep in Maine
