New Taco

First time listener.... and caller.
Over the weekend I upgraded my '13 Toyota 4Runner.
I'll say it was a little unnerving cutting into my bumper the very same weekend that I bought the truck, but I love the results.

Any recommendations for a newbie for things for me to checkout in the forum?

 

Is that the Body Armor bumper? Looks good and welcome

 

Nice truck and bumper!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Thanks for the welcome, and great question!

I've added the following bumpers, I'll be uploading the before and after of the rear tonight or tomorrow:
Hiline Body Armor Front - https://www.bodyarmor4x4.com/product/hiline-front-bumper-2016-2021-toyota-tacoma/
Pro Series Body Armor Rear - https://www.bodyarmor4x4.com/product/2016-2021-toyota-tacoma-front-bumper-3/

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld

 

Good looking rig... welcome!

 

Nice wheels - mods are tight welcome

 

That intro unlocked some old memories lol. Truck looks great! How hard was the bumper install?

 

Thanks! I’m no mechanic, but I play one on TV. Good with fluid changes (including headlight fluid), brakes, minor electrical, and I’m about to tackle a suspension life (spacers and shocks) after I pick up my quickjack tomorrow, so take that for what it’s worth.

The front bumper took me and a buddy at a snails pace… including trying to fish a nut out of the frame… please don’t ask how it got there… about 3.5hrs.

I tackled the rear with my 16yr old son, and it took also took about 3 hours, and that’s because I had no idea what I was supposed to do with the backup sensors, reading the instructions solved that problem. Realistically you could probably do the rear in 2hrs no problem.

I used these videos to help with install, and am happy to answer any questions about the process, the videos are good, but they do leave out a few things.

Welcome! Love the rear bumper!
