All-Pro Tacoma Rear Bumper Group Buy Ends 11/30

Oh, it happened

I have been, and when I saw them on sale, POW , I bought one.

Not a very god pic, but it is proof.

 

Did a little cleanup on mine and dropped it off at the bed liner guy.
Should have it back tomorrow

Hopefully get it installed too!

 

Hey senna what did you paint yours with? Looks good!!

 

Can't wait to see it

Thanks, it's Powder coat

 

I just updated the list on the first post. Only 11 more orders needed and someone gets their's for FREE!

 

Looks good Troy!

Now for the front bumper..... hmmmmmmm

 

Is it possible to get the side pieces without the cutouts?

 

Thanks Jason, front bumper I don't know about that. I did get an E locker guard and a u bolt flip kit .

 

Should be ready go on tomorrow!

 

^^ looks damn good! kinda like mine

 

Got it about 90% installed today.
I am working on the flip up or possibly down license plate holder.
I am deciding if I want to change the plate lights that come with it or try to make the stockers work with it.
Pics tomorrow when it get's finished up.

 

I haven't found a satisfactory license plate holder, I bought one (flip up/down) and it is awful, moves the plate out close to an inch. I am waiting till I get the plate mounted before I work on lights.

Did any of you guys get a hitch?
Did it bolt up ok?
Have you tried a pin in it yet?

 

WOOT! got my name on the list just waiting on the tracking number! I ordered a bunch of other stuff besides the rear so i cant wait to get it in!

 

Glad I saw the above post. My hitch pin is too big. Gonna have to remove the hitch from the bumper to bore the hole out.
I am not too keen on the chrome license plate lights either & searching for alternative. Black hopefully.
Took a lil xtra time cleaning up the welds w/ a die grinder & hope to get it line-x'd tomorrow.

 

I removed and drilled mine yesterday, 21/32 is what size I drilled mine to. You are going to need a 1/2 drill motor. I contacted All Pro on this and all I got was, sorry. It cost $20 for a drill bit and my time.

 

Here are a couple shots of the install

 

Some more,
I will make a different mount for the trailer plugin mount, if I leave the metal mount on it it will not clear the spare (stock size).
Spare hits the reciever tube a bit as well.
Reciever is about a 1/4" short and I used a couple spacers to shift it over which centered the 2" hitch reciever in the opening.
Again I prefer it too short than too long in something like this.
I painted the chrome light housings black.
Drill out the holes for the screws they are too small to use the supplied screws with the lights, better too small than too big!

I used 1/2" bolts on the top, 7/16 ( supplied size ) on the middle two and the bottom one 9/16". Note to self put head of bolt on the top pointing forward not like I did.
I also used nylock nuts instead of lock washers.

The folding plate holder works but is about an inch away from the bumper.
I will be doing the wiring on the lights today.

 

I see you had to shim the width of the hitch, did you find this out on your own and make the shims?

I bought that same license plate holder, ended up taking it back.

I ended up trimming the back of the hitch where it hit the tire.

Have you put a pin in your hitch yet?

 

I saw the hitch width problem and had some spacers that worked well.
The hitch hitting the spare may need me to remove it and slice it to clear.
It is just the 2" square that sticks out too much past the main span.

I have not slipped in a pin yet but if it needs to come out for the spare clearance I will drill it out to fit.

Allways have some minor fitting to add stuff no biggie.

 

OH-MAN where did you get the plate mount from?
