i searched but didnt find what i was looking for......i have a 97 taco and my front valence is broke and flap, and i figure it would b riped off in the snow this winter...any ideas on weather a bumper from older p/u will fit...i want one with the blinker hole in the bumper.... basicly is the taco and p/u frames about the same width and same mounts?

 

I used to own a '98 Taco and now own a '93 pickup, and yes the frames are totally different.
I have seen guys on here that custom make really cool bumpers, try a search and good luck.

 

You can usually find a valence piece on ebay for cheap, I say cheap as in under $75 shipped and everything.

 

i found them for 50 plus shiping on car-part.com but i kept bending the metal one on my 86 last winter....when i got the truck (the 86)the valance was perfect and i had to remove it due to snow piles in parking lots i take the spots were people dont park due to gettin suck.... the one that killed the valance was the pile taht was up to the hood on the passenger side....gas n ramed it in... im trying cheap before expensive cause im broke

 

1.)Get lawn chair and six-pack.
2.)Stare at truck.
3.)Make something!

 

that dont help im still 20 lol

 

Get six-pack of energy drink and it will help motivate you, or killya!

 

4.)Get girlfriend with money!

 

she finally got a job for first time in 4months..and i got pulled over 2 weeks ago doing 86 in a 55 its a 270 ticket but im takin the class which is 180 so it stays off my record..the only person i know that has a yota is my day and its a 80 so ill probably measure his

 

I've got a bumper off a 02 Taco in good shape.
