rusty bumpers what to do?

My bumpers on my Tacoma are starting to rust due too the chrome peeling off. what options do i have on fixing up these bumpers if any?
and/or new bumper options? 96 Tacoma is what working with.

 

I have been shopping for a new back bumper for my '03, the black ones are roughly $170 "buy it now" on eBay...

Thing they get you on is $65 for shipping!

The bumper itself seems pretty reasonable if you ask me.

sand em and paint em

 

X2, or if you're really lazy, just paint them haha.

 

The middle part above the tow hitch mount always rusts away on these. Mine's starting to go so I'm looking for a replacement. The price of the ebay special is attractive.

 

yeah i'm lazy and will look into the ebay bumper.

 

I'm with you. With all my various neglected responsibilities, the very last thing on earth I should spend a Saturday doing is sanding and painting a bumper for a 15-year-old truck when I can get an OEM bumper w/ hardware shipped to my door for less than $300.

 

Mine is the same so I looked thru the frame rust recalls at a local auto recycler and there was a couple near perfect bumpers, problem solved.

 

i like digging in junkyards but up here in northern California they are not any in site. i miss the south and the u pull junk yards. i found an ebay bumper for 100.00. gonna ask questions kinda suspicious just cause of the low price.

 

what the hell is the point of this thread then??

 

Just sand it and line-x those bitches!

 

Sorry... couldn't resist. Cars is my daughter's favorite movie

 

sand them down and bedline them or paint them.....or get them redipped. the redipping can be expensive tho.

 

You can get the chrome redipped? Any idea how much that would run?

 

im honestly not sure on price. you would need to find a place that does chrome refinishing and re-dipping and talk to them. i've seen some places be decently priced and some be high as hell.

 

Get you a custom bumper made from one of our great vendors here.

 

Im considering doing that myself. I known BeefedTaco does some good work from what ive heard, anyone else?

 

AllPro!

Haha I'm just excited for my new front bumper to get here! Unfortunately I wont get to see it or put it on till next month.....I got the rear one too and I am a big fan of the tube style.

 

Ive considered all pro, but i need a bumper that incorporates a license plate mount and lights, as well as a hitch recievier...

 

It does have both of those features, you just gotta swap the old ones from your stock bumper. I did a write up somewhere around here about my bumper painting and install, it will tell you what to do. You could get the drop down brackets for your stock receiver bar for 99$ or so.

Heres mine.
