    Just bought my first taco and am in the process of gathering the needed parts The one part I am struggling to find is the frame horns. Anyone have any ideas where I can pick up two?

    Obligatory photo of damage. As you can see she was hit pretty hard in the lower left. Twisting the horns, bumper support, and core support. The damage pierced the radiator but after replacing that, removing the horns and straightening the support she is driveable. Now the fun part begins, the rebuilding. Fortunately there is no damage from the suspension back so all she needs is some front end work.IMG_2903.jpg IMG_2910.jpg IMG_2915.jpg

    You should take it to a auto body shop to make sure the frame is okay.

    i would go to a local pick and pull and find a truck that was rear ended. Bring along your cutting wheel and just cut out the front section that you need and weld her back in place. Should do the trick as long as the rest of the frame is in good shape.

    What are the frame horns? I did 2005 to 2012 front cap mod, i gave away most of the extra parts, but if i have them you can have them.

    looks like you need a bumper, i went check scrap metal pile, found it. its been in the pile a while but should be fine after you clean it up. Not sure where you are, but cover ship costs you can have it.
