im not sure, but i think toyotas use inertia type airbag sensors. that means it doesnt matter what you have up front, the airbags will deploy if the impact is big enough.

That's what I thought but I just want to be for sure before I invest in a new bumper, so if anyone knows for sure please speak up.

Yea. No problem putting a different bumper on your rig. Toyota uses 3 deceleration sensors. One under the dash and 1 in each front fender. so. No problems.
