Thanks for the help guys. I think I'm going to go with a bumper replacement but I dint wanna pay for an arb and I'm not really feeling the savage offroad look if anybody has some links to something sort of inbetween the two or any links to inexpensive front bumper replacements hit me up

I just went through a sport hood replacement if you wanna talk about what i did to save money, etc. I have all the Toyota part numbers youll need to save you time too. Just know it's a lot of money.

Well look at the bright side, ARB style bumper could come out of this, get some 99-02 headlights, 02 grille, etc.

if the brush guard took that much damage, imagine what would have happened if you didn't have it. I am of the opinion that your brush guard kept you from needing a new radiator or other major engine components.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you're OK! def time for that sport hood. Your T4R looked sick before...it's gonna be glorious afterwards!!

Going 30 is just stupid. Forget the truck, I am glad you are not in the hospital.

Yeah I was being stupid but I could have gotten real hurt so that's why I'm not that upset about the truck

It's probably custom made.

It's probably not a good idea to leave the radiator exposed like that. I don't think it looks that great either.

Brush gaurds do a lot more damage. I have two rigs with two of them. My 98 was all f'd up in the front because of the brush gaurd. I bought the Toyota brush gaurd and really beefed it up and had it bolted in 4 locations instead of two and the wimpy lil brackets are bye bye. Still, my brushgaurd weighs 102lbs alone because its beefed up. Thats just a few lbs lighter than an ARB!

If you would've slammed into the wall without it, you would've had to replace bumper and the end caps on the frame that actually went through your valance there. Now you gotta replace your fenders and hood too because of that thing. But glad your ok man.
