purchase used ARB bumper?

[Jc12]

Hey guys, a tacoma arb bumper (confirmed the product number) went up for sale on craigslist relatively close by (3 hour drive). It comes with the mounting bracket and that looks to be it.. no hardware etc. He is relatively firm at 500 and since i live in canada it would cost me about 1100 to get my hands on a new one.

My main question is how hard would it be to get this mounted with no hardware.. are they relatively common/easy to find bolts or is there a separate kit i could order? After reading some of the install threads it looked as though there are other pieces missing. I am only judging by what i can see in the photos tho (as you can see below). First pic is off of the install instructions and second is of the actual used bumper, thanks!

That bumper looks like it's for a 2nd gen Tacoma (2005+). If it is, it won't fit a 3rd gen.

The photo in the original post looks like the Tacoma bumper that fits the 3rd Generation 4Runner - it looks very similar to mine, but I'm not sure if they are exactly the same. The long horizontal slot above the ARB logo looks different than mine... maybe it was modified. ARB makes bull bar bumpers for a lot of vehicles.

The photo below is an ARB bumper on a 2nd Generation 4Runner.

Below is a pic of the ARB bumper that fits the 3rd Generation 4Runner. These are two different bumpers and are not interchangeable as far as I know. Both versions of these ARB bumpers were made for the Tacoma but are easily modified for the 4Runners of the same body style.

Here is a photo of my bumper that is easily modified for the 3rd Gen 4Runner...

Here is a photo of the bumper in a lighter color. You can see that the horizontal slot doesn't run all the way across the middle section.

I called that same guy and asked if it was a 3423020 arb and he said no. As far as I know the 3423020 is the only arb bumper that will fit our runners.

You might want to do a little verification before making the drive, it would suck to get all the way down there only to return with nothing.

thats not for a 3rd gen!

Ah weird I swear the product number on the sticker in his ad reads 3423020/30! Thanks for the replies everyone

It does say 3423020/30 I was just looking for the 3423020 not the /30 only because I don't know any better and can't drive 6hour round trip.

Maybe call arb real quick and see for sure if it will fit?
And while you have them on the phone ask about new mounting hardware

Good luck/ hope it works out

So looking at other threads this looks to be for a 2005+ tacoma here is a picture for comparison
