BADLAND front bumper installed

[Elton H]

this bumper came off a 2000 tacoma which you think would be the same well i guess its not .... the front section of the frame that sticks out well that needs to be cut out clear back to about flush with where the body mount is... and you will need to cut out the section the skid plate bolts too which is fine cause theres room on the bumper for it to bolt too .... now the next problem the lower a/c line is smack dab right in the way and needs to be taken out which is fine as i never use the a/c soo now im thinking oba ...other than that the 2 lower tabs that bolt to the tow hook bolts are fine and i got one of the side bolts on each side to work still have to make a plate for the frame ends and that's two more bolts so that's 8 bolts more than plenty it looks great and is super stout

note blinkers are just temp zip tied tell i can get my friend to help me or you could use stock taco blinkers

o yea i paid $450 bucks for it :bravo:

 

[MillerPKA]

nice, now get some flares!

That looks really good...but you are a brave man to go cutting all that stuff out! And no A/C? Still, sounds like you got a deal...good job!:trophy:

P.S. I heard Bushwacker has some nice flares that might go good with that bumper....but don't tell anybody I told you....shhhh!

that's what i like to hear! By the way, we can meet up for the rims in a couple of weeks. Gotta decide when because I will be driving up and as of now I have no idea how bad the damage is to my truck. Send me an email at [email protected] we'll talk there

[Elton H]

ya i think a nice set of thin flares would look pretty good

 

[YodasYota]

Can i ask how you got that so cheap?

 

[Elton H]

x3..looks sick! Though I don't know if I could drive without a/c.

This might sound weird, but I think the plain looking tires and the tough looking bumper clash a bit. A more agressive tread will tidy it up nicely.

 

[Elton H]

ya id like a more aggresive tire but as much as i drive on the pavment i just dont see the need

 

[Elton H]

added some pro comp 5'' lights and mounted my plate still haven't had time to weld up the turn signals though

 

[LINY4Runner]

very niceee!!!

it's refreshing to see something other than a TJM or ARB (although there's nothing wrong with either) :bigok:

 

[Elton H]

i forgot to update got the turn signals welded on and made some brackets for my 170s ... and i had a little fun smashing into a beater car my friend got for free bumper didn't move but i did cave in the trunk area a little haha
