Painted Black Front Bumper 2001 Tacoma PreRunner

They are much bigger bolts though...

I only have 1 bolt holding my UCA to the spindle, but it's a big ass bolt...

 

Yeah ik lol, just saying it’s really easy to pull the bumper off. Its more of a pita to pull the valance off then it is the bumper lol

 

yep, when I did my timing belt, pretty much the whole front end came off. I had read you "can" do it with the bumper, radiator etc... in place. I spent 2 minutes trying to get around it all, then spent 5 minutes taking it all off. The new trucks with their stupid plastic bumpers probably have like 50 clips holding them in place.

 

Are grills are held on by a million clips that i broke when trying to change my head light housing, needless to say its ziptied on now

 

So are mine, lol...

 

Funny part is i found the clips to fix it, bought them and never installed them because the zip ties work fine

 

I bought the clips knowing I'd break some when I did my timing belt, but the part of the grill that the clips snap into broke is several places. The plastic just got too brittle over the years it would snap real easily.
