Front bumper install/removal 97 SR5 V6

[Anodyne]

I recently completed a rear OEM-like bumper install, now it's time to replace the rotting front. The front looks much tighter than the rear and I'm not sure where to begin on this job. Does anyone have any helpful hints?

Thanks in advance.

should be one bolt on either side of the truck where the bumper meets the fender

and then there's two brackets underneath the bumper, with 2 bolts each...I would take pics for you but mine's an 01...different bumper

hopefully someone else can chime in with some 96-99 pics

here is a pic of the bolt locations. The bigger circle is the 2 14mm bolts and the little one is the approximate location for the 10mm nut. Kind of hard to see in the pic but it gives you a general idea.

niceeeee taco-runner!

Thanks for the info, similar to the rear in a way.

You guys with your rust-free rigs have no idea how good you have it...
