    2004 Tacoma 2wd stripper
    Uh, a tool box
    So I decided I'm going to keep my 2004 Tacoma and drive it into the ground. So I figured, now that it has 181,000 miles on it, its time to do a bit of sprucing up. Its the el-cheapo stripper 2wd/5 speed/reg cab model, but hell it was owned by my dad, and he takes care of his trucks. Its still very clean, no rust(good thing about living in the south), runs/drives/shifts like a brand new truck.

    Only real thing cosmetically it needs is new bumpers, both front and back. The front one is the base painted steel, but its chipped all to hell, paint peeling, starting to surface rust, just looks like crap. The rear one, its got a dent in it, a gouge from the boat trailer, it looks like crap as well.

    Anyways, what's a good source for a new chrome bumper, both front and rear?

    I'm kind of picky about fit/finish, I know I could spray can a steel bumper and get it close to the OEM finish, but it would bug the crap out of me that it wasn't perfect.

    So best source for CHROME bumpers, I'd like OEM Toyota parts, but those are pricey. If anybody has used aftermarket chrome replacement parts, let me know the brand and where you got them. How much did you pay and how have they held up???

    I haven't ordered from here personally but if it were me, I'd go Rockauto.com. Sounds like they'll have the best OEM stuff, and usually the same as what your Toyota dealer will order, but half the cost since it doesn't come directly from Toyota.
