New member 2013 Tacoma. Replacing front bumper hit a D--- Deer

Did a google search found PDF for bumper removal and thought I would join so I can down load the PDF. Insurance claim $1100 $500 deductible get check for $600. DIY about $200. Looks pretty easy to me. I will see.

 

Cool beans, welcome. Are you upgrading to a steel plate bumper?

 

No just OME. I going to leave it black. Have to replace some trim under the head light. There are a few other things the body shop was going to replace that I think I can salvage. Couldn't see giving the body shop the $500 out of my pocket and I get to keep some of the $$ so seamed like a slam dunk to me.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome to TW! Yeah should be pretty easy.

 

Hi!

 

Pop the hood, remove the grill, there are those little push connectors holding it in.

Removing the bumper cover is a half a pain in the ass, but once you know where all the screws are its not too bad. The hidden fuckers in the wheel wells were the worst for me personally.
