95.5 Taco TJM to 94' Pickup?

Howdy there Yota'Tech Pardner!

I'm curious...

Got a 6 month hankerin' for a A.R.B. or T.J.M. or Warn style bumper with a winch receiver on there... And I've been meetin' dead ends!

But, as of late, someone's kicked me an offer for a 95.5-96 TJM bumper. The price, well, I can't refuse! But, I Will refuse if I can't mount the thing to my rig with modicum of ease...

Does anyone / has anyone tried this conversion before? I'm sure there's something more to be said here than '...anything can fit, with the right amount of time/money'... and since I regularly task my little 22RE with pulling FJ60's out of holes (...how'd you get in there!?) It's time for a winch...

So, here's some pics to acclimate you...

-Big ups/Much love from Santa Cruz!

It wont fit. Tacoma's are about 2" wider than your truck. so itll look kinda goofy.

Why not just buy a WARN plated bumper? they're like 600 bucks + shipping.

MaK92, that's not a bad Idea... I've been thinking of doing this for some time.. I just REALLY did the look of those uprights on the ARB, and while I enjoy the custom one i've got... it just 'feels' flimsy compared to the ARB/TJM's I've seen!
