Yeah it’s really just a large tag mount.@sr5pickup …. “Built a rear bumper to mimic the factory 79 bumper. Didn’t like how the oem was so flimsy”.
—————————————————————————————
Someone at Toyota had a vivid imagination to call their OEM design a “bumper” but it is satisfying
Didn’t you have to run wheel spacers for those wheels?
How about some more pics, I almost ran that same combo on my 80 just didn’t want spacers.
Cheers
Here’s a pic of the clearance from the tres.I do believe the issue with needing spacers is due to knuckle arms and tres. Backspacing of the wheel being to much. Thats the word, haven’t tried it myself.
Looks great though.
Cheers
How did you determine where the rear tub needed to be cut in order to fit the factory flares? I'm going to be changing mine from Kut Snake to factory items and the bodyshop have suggested bonding them on due to not having a template for any cutting and drilling required.Some updates on the truck. I added the factory rear flares after a rock flew up and hit my mirror while traveling down a dirt road. Luckily it didn’t break but I took that as a warning and put them on. No plans to add the fronts at this point.

Not sure if you have the flares on hand but they do have this contour that fits in with the body (pic below). This will aid in keeping the flare from being mounted too high or low when determining placement.
I used 8332069565 from a Grj79
Was the plug like this on this sending unit? I received the new wire transmission cable but I have a 3-pin sending unit just want to be sure before I order this #8332069565

I don’t think the fronts need trimming but will need to look like this.@sr5pickup thanks for the info. The rear ones don't look too bad to fit up. Hopefully the front's aren't too bad either.
Ok that exactly what I have what are the color wire you used ! Thanks for the helpNo the plug is a triangle shaped plug, it has 3 pin locations but only utilizes 2. You could possibly change out the plug on the 8332069565 to match yours.
