New (to me) Damage Inducer

[Lka1988]

Thanks to 78toyfj40 (Scott), I now have a new front bumper.

It's a custom piece of work done by the PO of his truck, and is of good quality. It's beat, but it fits perfectly with my truck.

Bought it for $75.

Here are a few pics... That's my buddy in the pics, BTW.

price was right! looks hefty. Are those mounts on the bumper single sided? id want them C shaped or mounted around the frame. Not like you got airbag sensors...so as long as its solid it should be good. I like how its nice and tucked in for being such large dimension pieces. can you hide a winch behind that ctr panel? or you do you vote lockers?
Go crush some rocks

It mounts to the stock bolt holes. There are only three bolts holding it up right now, but it's still a sturdy piece of work. We jacked up the truck from the bumper, after it was mounted, and it held like a vise. I'm still gonna grind the one hole a bit bigger so I can use all 4 bolts.

Can't hide a winch, unfortunately, but I always go wheeling in a group. No lockers, either But now I can roll over trees, rocks, smart cars, etc...

Nice Lane,

It's good to see a mud member bought that. I saw that on KSL.com, I too was wondering about the winch mount, but heck, for the price you can beat that. It looked like a pretty stout bumper. Looks good. Make sure you plow over plenty of smart cars and suv's with 20"+ rims that are so ubiquitous down there in happy valley for me.

Who needs a winch? I'm the kind of guy that if my truck gets stuck, I just yank it out with another. I'm usually doing the yanking, though.

My buddy (in the pics) actually found and told me about it, and not three hours later, it became mine.

Thanks

Be VERY careful (AKA - don't do it) jacking off cribbing of cinder block(s).

Especially on the weak side..

Yeah; he's a Toyota guy, too. That's his black 4Runner in the last pic. He's got better skills with the sawzall than I do...

The jack was there to hold the bumper in place while we bolted it in.

And to lift the truck for a minute afterward.

Nice and brutal.
Your new bumper makes your 80 smile - add some teeth to make it look meaner
