Took my oldest camping outside of town for a quick overnight. She absolutely loves Mr. Myagi and we had a blast cruising FS roads.
New stock bumper to go on the '73. It's going to look much better than the redneck C-channel that's on there now. Still available from Toyota and just a little over $200.

Yesterday I took my 71 restoration for its first real drive. Found a few small issues I was able to fix easily today; blinkers weren’t working but it was an unplugged wire from switch, fuel sending unit wasn’t working but was just gunned up and stuck empty, backup light switch was sticking but I must have a wizard because it seems to have corrected itself. Little more tuning and shakedown runs and I’ll be ready to list it for sale and on the hunt for one to keep!…. Probably….
More progress on my '66 45LV.
Door Panels (I had to make 'em from scratch). It worked out.
Upholsterer called me yesterday and said, come get 'em. Yee haw!

We just purchased the same OEM front bumper and gusset plates. Curious what bolts you used to mount. Is it correct that the mounting is only on the top even thought there are holes on the bottom?
Thanks!

I used stainless carriage bolts on top and yellow zinc from overland metric (extras I had) on bottom.

Thank you for the photo! I think we're in trouble. It looks like the P.O. may have cut off (shortened) the frame. We don't have the bottom mounting bracket. We m
It doesn't look like they shortened the frame, but rather they shortened the bumper brackets and then welded the channel straight to that. These hold the bumper out from the frame by a couple inches.
So these look like they are shortened (they fit under the tow hooks):

Thanks. I have new upper gusset plates that I purchased from Toyota when I bought the bumper but I don't have the lower brackets. Do you have a part number or know where I can get a pair?It doesn't look like they shortened the frame, but rather they shortened the bumper brackets and then welded the channel straight to that.
