Help getting a black base rear bumper

Can anyone help me with getting a base model black rear bumper? I really want to get rid of my chrome one bc it looks like crap on my truck. I have tried and failed twice with ebay with receiving both bumpers looking messed up and damaged. So my next option was to try to find a cheap one through the dealer but they aren't any help either, as I need a vin number from a base model to find the matching part. So can anyone help?

 

Plasti dip. It would cost you under $10(USD), a couple of hours of your time. It's so simple. And you don't have to change bumpers.

I did it to mine and can't be happier a year later

 

I bed lined mine with spray on bed liner. There are more photos on my build page. Took awhile to get it off and remove the plastic pieces but it was worth it.

 

Too bad you are so far away, I have a bumper I got from another local member. It was chrome, but he Herculinered it. I am trying to sell it with the hitch. Asking $100 local.

How did you sand down the chrome bumper and did you use roll on or spray can bed liner?

 

I scratched the chrome with sand paper and a wire drill brush. Then 2 coats of etching primer. Then spray on bed liner.

 

If you are asking me, it was rolled on.

 

Do you still want a VIN? I can PM you mine.

 

Look through this and see if the part number is still valid, then go to your favorite on-line Toyota parts store.

Thanks for all the help guys I'm surely going to do one of these options when I have the chance or the weather gets better!

 

Yeah, Plasti-Dipped my rear, too. Cleaned off the chrome with 409, used newspaper and taped off around the bumper, and blamo! It looks awesome and has held up very well.

 

I went crazy on mine
