Yes, that is my problem, the bumpers come painted, but Toyota does not know the color code of the metal bumper. I went to San Jose Paint for a match, they looked at the inside of the bumper and matched it. It looks new, but it looks blue. Unless it was supposed to be blue from brand new. I...

Is the file only one page? I only see one color code. I have a 1997 40th Ed with two colors. A lighter gray on the metal bumper and a darker gray on the bumper extensions. It says Color code UCA83. Is that for the metal front bumper or the plastic extensions?

Very good write up. I just did my 1997 40th Edition. FWIW I did not remove the radiator. Only the two upper hoses to remove the shroud, needed that extra room. I did not completely remove the steering stabilizer. Only the two screws that hold the braket to the frame. Then pushed it in and...
