Just wondered if anyone might have advice to locate a replacement for damaged front bumper. Probably need bumper assembly to be sure all fits correctly. 96 YM - appreciate any input.
Thanks

You can still buy new from Toyota, or post a wanted ad in the classifieds section. Or go aftermarket and get an armor bumper from one of the many vendors that make them for out rigs.

I've got the front bumper from my '91. Mine has an ARB now, but saved the original. Not sure if it would fit or not, but I think so? I'd be open to selling.

Yes I'm assuming it might fit but when searching eBay, etc it seems inconsistent on which years match up (91-97 versus 95-97) so maybe send pictures and the dimensions. Also the mounting bracket location and detail. I have the 2 brackets but drivers side might be bent a bit. Do you have those too? I'd be interested before I buy one online .
Thanks!

Early bumpers are thicker and slightly different in shape, from what I have seen. I would buy new and get it powdercoated before installing.

Tend to agree based on short term research. Found a few “new” Toyota bumpers from online sellers on eBay. Anyone have any experience with buying fresh eBay sellers. Appear legit and confirmed fit based on VIN # but always a scary leap for me.
So far I haven’t had any luck contacting a local dealer but will keep trying that route.
Trying not to make another mistake. Hitting a bush and crushing the bumper was first dumb move!

I have one in Savannah GA, it has some surface rust on it. Not perfect but with some paint it can look good

Thanks Daniel but I think I've found a new one, but will let you know.
