Front and rear bumper questions

I reacquired my 2001 Runner from a family member after a few years. Unfortunatley they dented both bumpers etc etc.... I found a 1998 in a local yard and from pictures it loos goood for parts. Several questions - going to the yard may answer them but here goes

1. I need right rear chrome piece for my 2001 SR5 but it has the SR5 fender flares. The picture of the 1998 does not. Will this work?

2. Similar question for front - I need the entire bumper and the "nose" that goes underneath. I can't remember the year that Toyota changed the front wasn't the change just the lower nose? Will the chrome bumper from 1998 work and then I order the lower nose? Also will it work with the SR5 fender flares? Looking at pictures I am guessing it will not work due to turn signal lights. However if I find an 01 bumper - is it the same bumper with or without SR5 fender flares?

1999 was the model refresh from the flat-nose chrome front bumper to the "fat-lip" plastic monstrosity. A 1998 front bumper will be completely different from your 2001 ~ it can be made to work, but it's completely different top and bottom (and inside, the bumper support is different too).

To the best of my understanding, if you have the black SR5 flares (and not just the chrome sticky trim), you need a bumper from a 1998 Limited that has the correct holes for mounting the fender flares. That's true for the front or the rear, there are holes necessary to the mounting of the fender flares.


I've looked into this myself because the 1999+ front bumpers make me want to gag. No one wants to feel like hurling chunks whenever they look at their vehicle, so I'm going to retrofit the older chrome bumper. You can see the holes I'm talking about in this ebay listing:

I have a complete rear bumper from my 01 SR5 in my back yard if you want that part.
