1st Gen Bull Bar Identification

Anyone recognize this type of bull bar? I'm curious as to how it gets fastened to the vehicle. Remove the bumper and replace it with this? Is it missing other parts? It came with the 2002 Tacoma I bought.

 

I wouldn't use it.

Looks thin/flimsy and doesn't even attach to the frame based on those small tabs.

 

looks to me the brackets are missing!

Perhaps bought used and the last owner never had the brackets.

Simple to make them or have them made.

I see this all the time Super deal on a used bumper just no brackets.

 

Not a bull bar at all, thats just for putting a couple of lights on the bumper. Probably bolts down to the metal part on top of the bumper

 

Yes I think you guys are correct it would bolt to what might have been called a Grill Guard / bull bar I had something like that back in the seventies just not shaped so fancy.

 

ID = scrap metal

 

IRC I think Nfab made that
