Got my new (old Dodge) bumper installed, and fab'ed brackets.

It came off a Dakota a kid was scrapping, so I got it for $50, It needed sanding, primer, I removed the plastic pipe caps welded steel caps on all four end points. Then I hung it and bed coated it. The brackets were a pain because the Tacoma mounting brackets are three inches wider than the Dakota mounting points, and the bumper sits higher by three inches than on the Dakota.

 

I think it turned out great! Best $50 bumper I’ve ever seen.

 

Looks great!!

 

I'm too new to post on classifieds, but I pulled the Perma Guard bed insert/bed liner and tailgate cover. If someone wants to pick them up they can have them for free. The plastic locking "things" are broken, but I talked with a company and a complete set is $20. I'd keep it, but I'm going to attempt to put in a bed coating. The bed liner is in fantastic shape. The two previous owners treated this truck very well. Mine is the 6' bed (6'3").

 

Good job

When one can fabricate almost anything is possible

It is all in adjusting the brackets .

I have taken a few inches out of the center of full size bumpers to install them on narrower platforms.

free is always a great price.

 

Good job! Looks like it was made for your Tacoma.
