    Hey i was wondering if a 89 toyota pickup bumper would fit on a 97 tacoma. I like the older look better and wondering if the skid plate from the 89 would also fit on the 97
    Thanks

    Pull up a Hanes manual or whatever you can find in mounting points but it’ll likely take a little light fab work.

    Seatbelts being a safety item, and the 97 having air bags, I would not recommend altering the seat belts. The forces in a crash are significant, and you could easily be dropped by your insurance if they ever figured out you altered them
