    Looking to upgrade my 1st gen Tacoma with a front bumper and winch. Though I have no idea where to start looking. What’s the best and cheapest way to find and or install a new bumper?

    If anyone’s also looking to sell a bumper I’m in the nw/western slope of colorado

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Quite a few options around .

    Can you fabricate at all? With some brackets and a little work any used bumper can be made to work.

    what style to you like better a tube type or the plate style ??
