All pro front bumper for 2002 Toyota tacoma

If you're looking for something to do with your turn signals, try this:

Just cut off the mount for the light plug from the turn signal housing, then drill a hole just big enough for the bulb to fit through the corner marker light housing.

It'll take a bit of futzing around with shaping the bulb mount, but nothing a dremel sander can't fix. There isn't a lot of room in the housing, so make sure you leave as much of the original turn signal housing as you can (the grey part).

Then I used some 2 part epoxy to fix it in place. I "tack welded" it with a few small globs of it to make sure the fit was good, and the bulb fit in the housing. Then just glob on more epoxy to seal it up.


My CBI bumper came with LED turn signals, so I just spliced those in with some quick splices.

 

So i just finished mounting it all on and it looks great i will be taking better pictures tomorrow, after i install my winch . Any recommendations on a winch ? And also what did y’all do with your turn signal lights . I was planning on retrofitting my lights so i can incorporate the turn signal to my corner light. Though if theres something better let me know

 

Your the man ima see if i can try this out

 

Looks great! I've got the Smittybilt X20 10k and love i like it. It's waterproof and has a wireless winch controller too so no need to plug anything in when you need to winch. My buddy has the Warn VR-8 and its really nice too. Discount Bandit has a nice deal on it right now too...

the idea from @jbrandt looks like the way to go with this bumper. with that said... if you're looking for something that doesn't involve futzing with your marker lamps, then you could try attaching the signals from the stock bumper to the corners of the bumper or to the side protection.

Zip tie engineering... Hasn't failed me yet!

bumper looks great though, the truck is coming along

 

My favorite option is adding the small “LED bolts” under the headlights and wire those up as turn signals. That’s what we did with my buddy’s truck.

All these ideas where great i ened up cutting into the corner light housing with a dreml set , was able to get the exact cuts and lines to just push in and twist . Now i just need a shorter light or led , or just push it futher back


It aint the pretest but its working great

 

Me either. My whole grill is held on with zip ties!

 

Nice!

That's another method I've seen too. Only reason I didn't do that is I just didn't want to bother with to bulbs. And LEDs would require a new flasher too (to prevent hyperflash)

 

I've had hyperflash for 5 months now since I installed my bumper LEDs, I gotta stop being hyperlazy about fixing it

 

I just finished putting on the winch i ended up going with Bad land brand .. my buddy has one and hes been using his for a year now And no problem. Ik its a harborfrieght brand but if it works it works . Here are some pics im putting my prinsu rack on tomorrow and the led bar ,

 

looks great, I'll be interested to see how that Badland Winch is for ya. I've stayed away from those for fear of getting that famous Harbor freight quality. I've heard good stuff from a lot of people though so I hope it does well for you.

 

Thank you thank you , ill be testing it out soon

 

Might just sike myself out and cop one of these in August. Oh boy

 

Do it you wont regret it
