Well @Marine0369 ...wish I had better info for you. I know that they were M8 fine-thread. But as you can see from my pic, the receipts are of absolutely no use. I can try to measure them once this damn snow melts and get you some more info (I got 10+ inches yesterday and it's still coming down a bit).

I know it's a controversial topic and I refuse to play into any of it after what has transpired...but I could put you in touch with the (former) owners of Pelfreybilt - I have a personal cell #. They might be able to assist quickly and get you everything you need. They have been super responsive with me. Holler with your thoughts.

I *should* have everything to get this installed next week sometime.

I've had issues sourcing IS projectors. I only have a driver's side so the retrofit will have to wait until I can source the passenger projector.

Coated the bumper in POR-15. Those that want to go this route, I used a brush for the first pass and didn't get it right. Had to sand and repaint with their rattle can. Along with the horrid Pelfreybilt finishing it doesn't look great, but it's gonna get scratched up anyway so f*ck it, it is what it is.

Question for @Jeffy & @Xtreme luck (I already posted in his build thread) and any others—what are you doing to secure the headlights for the new housing designs if you didn't swap the out the bottom support brackets?

Once I figure out how to post a pic I will do it.
Thanks @KNorm92 and @tristero .
Bumper bolts were M10-1.25 x40. Need 6 of them. 2 of the stock bolts can be re-used.
I need to wire in the lights and relocate the winch control cable. I have a guy making me the lower support brackets.

Rad thank you!

I hope the fabricator gets the brackets right. I should have mine in a few days. Let me know if you need measurements.

Np @tristero . He took some pretty good measurements so I feel good about it.
Would you happen to know what bolt size fit the side brackets (into the frame)?

Sorry no, I haven't pulled anything yet. I'm still waiting on the bracket shipment to arrive. There was an issue with the USPS... I'd be surprised if they show up this week.

Will try to get to it this weekend but likely won't get to it until the following week. I still have a lot of other prep work to do for the rest of the components involved in the swap.

The spot in the L bracket that connects to the frame is larger than an M10 bolt. I will post what size it is when I find out.

I have a hardware package I have yet to open. Slipped my mind. There are some larger bolts in there. I'll try to remember to check when I get home.

My support brackets are now at the regional facility in San Francisco, so no idea if I'll actually get them at this point...

Does anyone have a pic of the washer bottle protector? TIA!

It's not really a washer bottle protector. There are two for each side that are to protect the AC lines. I can get you a pic later.



they are the two on the bottom left next to the support brackets

That is what I thought. I have those, but someone said there was a washer bottle protector. He might have meant the line protector.
Thanks!

Since you're already having someone fab the brackets, check out this post: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/2624712-post93.html

@Marine0369 Went back out the BAMF in Benicia and picked up the L bracket supports today.

Currently cleaning the rust off, thanks @pelfreybilt ! Then coating with POR-15. Let me know if you still need those measurements.

Will try to install this week if I get my stuff from TRS.

It is an M12 x 1.25 x 25

Not sure why the pic is sideways but there it is. Apologies for not looking at this sooner.

I too bought the front bumper from the BAMF sale and am about to embark on trying to install it without good instructions. I also might be missing a few parts. I am starting to get really nervous as I am reading about all the challenges.

Next week I will be dropping off the bumper at SOT Abrasives in Dallas to get the rust removed and then powdercoated. From there this will sit in my game room until I can get time and help to install it.

This is all starting to feel like a big mistake....
