With the current inflation going on, purchasing bumper and having it delivered 8 months later financially better than loosing the value of money in the same 8 months in your savings account . You may even be able to sell it for more and keep up with the inflation this way...

 

Hmm... Interesting... I've got to replace a waterpump in the next few weeks... Since the front ends going to be apart anyway... (Wonder if Kelly will buy that excuse/justification ?)

 

I ordered my Mobtown rear bumper with cutouts for Baja Designs S2 lights and parking sensors, even though I have neither. They ended up being good access holes for the pressure washer

 

It's a shame mobtown has shutdown, they were by far one of the heaviest duty fab shops, shit don't break! I had their skids and sliders at one point. Too bad I sold em when I needed the cash early covid, they'd be worth even more now

 

"It was a gift"

 

the bumper will show up before i come back

 

Front end apart for a water pump? What do you think you drive, an Audi?

 

They'd be worth more if you haven't "customized" them with a sawzall and angle grinder

 

That seal is actually 1996 Hilux water pump gasket...

 

Seems appropriate when the Audi dealer bends you over in "service position":

 

I went with it for a couple different reasons. Main was because I didn't know if I had to go full bumper or if the crack in my stock bumper would just make it. I could order the main sections and if the rest of the bumper was no good ( or I just wanted to) I could add in the wings. After doing the research, I just liked the look of the full bumper much more so said screw it and bought it all. They had a sale on so that helped but still wasn't cheap. However still cheaper than many from the states. I like the additional lights as the fog lights are too high, this keeps them lower which cuts the fog much better.
Final reason was its wasnt too long of a wait. Overall Im satisfied with it, but either are lots of options out there.

 

My man! Appreciate the response. Similar thinking with why you bought as well. I don't absolutely need anything over the top and this does give the flexibility to add the wings if I want more clearance.

What winch are you running? Fit well?

 

My new front bumper

 

I see no flaw in this logic

 

Just Empty Every Pocket is for jeeps
is guess that one (Spend all the money) is for tacomas
bumper sticker time....

 

I might have the OR trim that does there. Think i put rivnuts into it

 

Done!!

 

I'm pretty sure I've got a black one coming thats free of any kind of adhesives, zip ties, pl or any other kind of mending material....lol
But thanks!!

 

Were you getting vibrations with the stock bearing?
