i have an 82 yota and i found the bumper i want for it, the problem is they only make it for 84 & up, how hard would it be to make it work, are the frames wider? or is it just a trimming thing?

 

Which bumper are you looking at?

 

the best things in life are usually different grab the welder and tools if it wont fit

 

it shouldnt be to hard to modify

 

the bumper i am looking at is the rock defense bumper, from low range

 

Have a web site?

 

this is my first Toyota project, always built jeeps, but always wanted to build a yota and im learning all over again.

 

thanks for the input i guess i will just go with it, by the way i like the moto john

 

more than likely the rock defense bumper you are looking at is sold by trail-gear, a lot of other dealers are resellers for Trail-gear:

If this is the same bumper than they base it off the Trail Gear Winch plate mount. It will not bolt up your frame, but you can weld it on. It is what I did on my '81 it fits just fine:


the only thing is that some of the end radius on the tubes might be different where is would curve back around the fenders...
I wish I had know they were coming out with this, it would have been a lot easier to go that route than waiting to build my own..

 

love your zip tied signals...
