anyone have a pic of 98-00 tacoma with bumper off?

ok so when I bought my tacoma the bumper was off (cracked/ bent) and after have a look around i noticed (I think) I do not have the reinforcement bar behind the bumper cover. does any one have a pic if a tacoma with just the bumper cover off? I want to find out what Im missing


Thanks in advance!

 

Front?

 

yes front thank you!! now i can see what im missing! im assuming that the bar in the pic between the signals just unbolts?

sorry i do have that bar between the 2 signals, is there another bar that goes across? or just the bumper bolts to the frame?


better yet where does this part go

I believe that's called the upper retainer. See attached for an idea how it attaches.

As for how the bumper attaches, there are (4) 14mm bolts, 2 per side that attach to a mounting plate on the frame. (pic 1)

Then there are (2) 10mm nuts, one on either side, sort of behind the corner lights. (pic 2)

Then there are two piece of crap plastic clips on the underside of the frame. I just used zip ties there (pic 3)

Pic 1 (passenger side 14mm bolts... you can see the zip tie in this pic also)



Pic 2 (10mm nut passenger side - you can see the wire loom for the turn signal in the background for reference)



Pic 3 (looking up at underside of frame)

 

The part spanning from the frame rails is considered a cross member...
tho' it is thin stamped steel and weak sauce.
My All Pro bumper omits that part...
with a built in cross member that replaces that piece.

The other part you have linked to...
is simply the tupperware facia backing/support.

That facia support should bolt to the L/R frame mounting brackets that Madjik posted. (1st pic)

 

ok so that link i posted, that part is attached to the bumper and bumper mounting brackets?

 

FWIW rockauto has that part for $35. And you can get a 5% TW discount.

 

where does that part go?
