99 front bumper questions

I hit a deer in my 98 runner. I plan on upgrading to the 99 bumper but have a few questions. I was looking at them online and there is like 3 different front reinforcements. Will I need to order all of them if I buy a new bumper?

Your buying a replacement Toyota bumper but a 99 model? I would think you need them all if your bumper is destroyed. If you have alot of deer in your area you might be better off buying an aftermarket bumper thats made out of genuine steel.

Get a TJM.....deer might just bounce right off after impact.

Go ARB or TJM. Probably about the same price as factory too. Besides, you need to get offroad, even in a 2WD.

yeah, the price probably wouldn't be that much different. plus, if you ever do hit anything again, the arb or tjm will fare much better than any stock bumper. there are different models to choose from, so it will look good. and yes, being 2wd sure hasn't stopped other runners from hitting the dirt.
