    Hi everyone,

    I'm in Alberta, new to this site. Great so meet so many people who are lucky enough to drive the best truck on the road.
    I have a 2002 step side Tacoma with almost 400,000 kms on it, and I would never part with it. It runs great, I put new rubber and shocks on last year.
    The truck has very little rust except for the rear bumper. The first owner drilled a hole in the rear bumper to put in a hitch and it's rusted out badly.
    I'd like to replace the bumper myself but first I need the kit and a new(ish) bumper. Wondering how I can go about connecting with someone to find the rare bumper that I need.

    thanks!

    Are you sure the bumper is different for that truck? What I'm finding is it's the same bumper as a regular bed. Please post a pic of what people should be looking for.

    Oh, and welcome from Michigan.

    When I look up bumpers for sale, they mostly specify that they do not work on Step Side pickups. So that's why I'm looking for a bumper that will work for this truck. However it would be much easier if I could use a regular rear bumper for the 2002 model year.

    Thanks everyone.

    Koditten, that ebay bumper ad looks like it might be a fit for my truck. What is your opinion?

    Hey Koditten, wondering if you had a chance to hunt for a bumper for me? If not I might check into the chrome one you found on ebay.
    thanks!
