MARYLAND TACOMAS

Thats the plan. We are still going to offer bumpers for gen 2 but like you said, its saturated. We thought the same about sliders but still sell loads for gen 2.

 

see, even us basturd step chillins need fab too yano

 

Yea, I wasn't saying not to make them. I was saying to get a jump on the 3rd gens. There also seems to be a lack of things for the 3rd gen 4 runners.... But one good thing is you don't just copy someone's designs you find ways to improve them like boxing the frame on your sliders. Bolt on with no drilling and almost no flex with high quality parts. Definitely worth the wait.

 

It's would be nice to have a local building bumpers ect..., nobody in our area specializes in armor for Toyota trucks. When i bought my front bumper for my 4runner from Savage Offroad damn shipping cost me $200! I would rather spend my $$$ locally.

 

The 4 runner you just picked up? Did you get a stock replacement for that bumper or...... Nvm I realize savage off road probably isn't into building oem 15 year old bumpers

 

No the savage bumper is on my lifted 2000 4runner. But i do need a stock replacement for that $200 1996 4runner project that i just bought. This is the Savage, it's a real nice bumper. Savage also makes a rear swing out bumper with a spare tire & jerry can holder. But the shipping cost is crazy on it.

 

I like that..... But all they show is 4 runner parts. Do you know if the mounting on the front is the same as tacoma

 

This is the bumper that i need for my 96, keep a eye out for me.

 

No Savage specializes in 3rd gen runners. I read somewhere that 3rd gen 4runner & 1st gen taco's front bumpers do interchange with some slight modifications.

 

Like a 2016 built bumper on a 96 to 04 taco with slight mods? Oh my

 

Next month I may be buying another silver 04 tacoma TRD ext. cab 4x4 (exact twin to mine but auto trans.) but this one has a badly rusted frame. It's a complete running & driving truck but the frame is bad, i think the frame is too bad to be saved. I called the salvage yard in Arizona that i get my motors from and they told me that when i'm ready for it they can locate me one without damage, and of course since it's Az., rust free. I'm hoping shipping isn't too bad, never had a frame shipped. If this deal goes thru this would be my 1st frame off, but it should be fun.

 

SOS is about as local as we get & he's in NC.

 

I don't know anything about 2016's. I like my older Toyota's too much to buy new.

 

I'm with Dave. Had I known then what I know now I'd have built up a 1st. Gen

 

Your 2nd gen is bad ass tho'!

 

Thank you Dave.
From my observations the 1st gen is a much more capable truck "out of the box" if you will.

 

God dang I hate Maryland salt usage.

 

@2stroketrush

Nice meeting you Tyler. Glad we could help on your custom project.

Today we laid out brush bars to protect front fenders. Bent the hoops, painted, welded to chassis, tacked to ARB bumper so we can easily cut off when his bolt on brackets arrive.

Tyler loved it, I think it came out pretty slick!
