    Looks like some jack wang backed into me and broke all the clips that hold the front bumper on.

    Any classy ideas to re attach until I can afford a winch mount of sorts? Been looking for a recovery winch system anyway, but would rather my bumper not be hanging in the mean time...

    Same thing just happened to me. The replacement center part was only about $150 from Toyota. But I went ahead and just upgraded to a full plate so this won't happen again.

    there are 2 blue clips that mounts that bumper valance to the main bumper that is behind and below the grill. I suspect those will be broken/missing.

    I plan to upgrade to a C4 fan bumper but I just dropped $4k on suspension, skids, light bar, and a smittybilt tent. Gonna be a minute before I have another G to drop for a bumper. Just looking for a ghetto fix to keep my stock bumper on in the mean time.

    I found one of them on the ground where I was parked, seems to be intact.
