What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I'm all for getting the spare out from underneath the bed (if that helps in your spending decision).

 

True. Advantage to that too if I get a rear bumper first is that I'll have a OEM bumper and Class III hitch I can sell to recoup the costs.

 

Hard wheeling = rear
Worried about animal collisions = front

 

Hmm, I hit my stock front bumper much more than my rear when off roading

 

I sold my stock rear bumper within a week of putting it up for sale. Some poor guy had to use is as a recovery bumper. It looked like the back of his truck was smiling.

Learn to steer.

BTW, SGT Taco and I are talking about a Monticello Canyon run in the early spring. You think you might be able to get back out to Holloman by then?

 

Stock front bumper will flex. Rear bumper and quater panels won't.

 

I hit the lower plastic on my front bumper but I drag my receiver in the rear. I figure I can craigslist the OEM bumper and receiver for about $300 which gets me halfway to a front bumper.

A front bumper allows me to mount a winch but I'd also need to upgrade the struts (OME 881's currently) if I were to mount a winch. I have been considering put a winch in a cradle so I can winch from the front or the rear.

I let mine go for 50 each

 

Can only get so much angle on a ledge












Unfortunately, no

I'm pretty much all tied up with work stuff except for weekends between now and September...

 

Based on dealer and RockAuto prices. I'm guessing $200 for a basically new OEM chrome bumper and $100 for the Curt receiver. Truthfully, I haven't priced them on that site yet.

 

Jesus, post smaller pictures

 

Mine's about the size of any other picture posted

It's just set to the original size form Flickr. I'll change it so nobody else has issues though.

 

some guy across the street wants my rear bumper and receiver. you can get new bumpers for 150...so the 200 is way high. the class 3 hitch also is like 150 range. if i can sell both for 100-150 ill be content lol. That will buy metal for my new bumper im going to build.

 

Yeah, I'm probably high balling the numbers. If I get less, I get less. It's all profit either way.

 

This is the rear bumper that i'm looking at:

Yep, list makes sense to me. Reason it's called an Alpine Desert.

I sold my rusty rear stock bumper for like $150 and my broken front one for like $100. I just looked on CL and listed mine accordingly compared to the others and people paid it. Course I had them listed for like $200 and they offered lower but I took it.

 

I traded my stock rear bumper for two twelve packs of good beer.

I thought I made out good.

 

I got 160 plus trade of another one with a little rust. And sold my hitch Reciever for 120 without the hitch and ball

 

I got $100 for my stock rear bumper. It had minor rust where the rock chips were on the inside. I almost gave it to the guy after seeing the one he mangled. Felt so bad for him.

 

Just sold my hitch for 40..hella rusty..and no hardware....liking to get 120 for the bumper. 300 is to high imo, but still worth a try...lol
