Real bumper

Hello guys,


The Real Bumper of my 99 Tacoma Truck SR5 V6 4x4 is bent. Can I replace it with a 2WD Tacoma one?

i would be inclined to say yes, a 2wd version will fit. still going to bend on you just like the first one.

why not just put the money toward a REAL bumper that won't taco on itself when you look at it wrong?

BTW - a $90 110v Harbor Freight welder + $20 angle grinder + $50 in steel + beer = custom bumper that's stronger than any stock bumper you're going to put on there .... and you get fab experience. don't forget your 20% HF coupon!

It seems great but I don't know how to do it.

sounds like an even better excuse to buy some toys - so you can learn and add that to your skills
