    Any one familiar with how to remove the RR color matched bumper caps? Much appreciation of you can help me out. Some ass hit me in the parking lot at work.

    I'm no help as I removed mine with a rock...
    But as you can see from the photos there are a few pins that held it in place. Maybe a bolt or two.20160828_161049.jpg

    There's a plate bumper group buy going right now... gonna be a lot easier to put on a plate bumper than to fix what you have and then have the same issue again later.... cheaper too (for the plate bumper).

    link to the group buy..

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/sos-concepts-bumper-group-buy-3.449802/

    You will have to wait a month or so but it's totally worth it. The regular rear bumper starts at $550 and you can add whatever you want to it.... the regular rear is bolt on replacement no need to change a thing.

    I just bought a front bumper... did my rear a while ago for the same reason as you.

    Trust me... when you get the stock bumper apart, you will be going like WTF is this cheap ass shit doing on a Tacoma.

    You saw what happens when bumper meets rock or bumper meets another bumper... with a plate bumper all of that goes away permanent like. That and people in parking lots are more careful when they see metal.... they won't even get close to you. FTMFW

    That's great. I just want to take it off and push it out. Brother in law paints cars and I'll drop it off at his place.

    Baby on the way. Can't get the bumper.
