toyota 4runner changing bumpers

[John67]

Hello everyone. I have a 2002 toyota 4runner limited and I want to change the bumpers.
I don't like how the limited bumpers they are same color as the body (its silver by the way. So I was thinking going to junkyard to look for other 3rd bumpers, specifically the metallic Silver ones. I think they give it a nice contrast. Do my question is, would any 3rd gen bumpersfit a 2002 limited? And is it a difficult task or can it be done in an afternoon? And also what cost do you guys think it will be to change both front and back bumpers?

Thank you!

Your 02 would have what is called a fat lip bumper I want to say 96-99 has the better looking smaller front bumper any years should fit as long as you get the frame brackets. Rear bumpers should all be the same. As for cost no idea anywhere from 50-500 is my guess.

If you don't want body color bumpers just put the chrome ones on, chrome or body color will be the only things that will look ok on silver. If you want some contrast paint the fender flares black or get the 96-99 black SR5 flares which are thinner than your current ones and will help give the truck more contrast.
