Very helpful
Thank you
Thanks 👍!
man i love this video so much, now i’m very confident in replacing the front end of my tacoma because i got into an accident and i’m looking to replace the whole front plus, i recently found out how to fix a fender by myself! i’m hoping my tacoma gets back and running as good as new as it should.
👍
Any video recommendations on how to fix a fender? I just got into an accident and no paint was chipped off of my fender but it was slightly caved in. therefore, I can’t open my driver door more than 3 feet.
@@nathanramos8505 Were you able to fix the fender yourself? The same thing just happen to me.
@@nathanramos8505 I am very late, however if there's no paint damage and you for some reason don't want to R&I the part, look into PDR (Paintless Dent Repair)
Good video. I might have to remove my 2002 taco bumper to remove the front quarter panel for a certain repair.
Thanks for the comment!
Great video 2000 4runners are a little different but not much
Thanks!

like i said,,, nice simple video!!! thank you again ,sir. to bad you don't do more to the point,info videos, on the 1st gen Tacoma,, cause guys like me, need guys like you that do informative videos on the 1st gens!! very good,sir. just sayin
I will try to do more Tacoma vids in the future. Thanks for the comment!
Those are 12 deep washer to hold onto the studs right ? Fixing my 97 tacoma and don’t have the bolts/washers that hold onto the studs, been trying to find out the size. Very helpful video 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Don't miss the big reveal at 3:38 in the video! :)
Video is very helpful. But does anyone know what the part is called that the bumper reinforcement bar attaches to? Need to replace them and cant find any matches.
About how long does it take to replace the the bumper?
Great video man. Where did you source the gray grill from. Thanks
is a 2003 sequoia similar ?
what would that center metal beam that holds up the bumper be called?
What replacement brackets and clips should i get?
those 2 brackets are missing on my pickup, it came without the front bumper and grill. could you give me a link for them? I dont want to get the wrong ones. thanks
Do you need to remove the front grill to remove the front bumper?
There is any way to just remove the bottom part of the bumper without romoving the whole thing??
Oh yeah, she cleans up nice! On a side note, how do you like the Milwaukee ratchet? I'm considering that or the Earthquake that Harbor Freight has. Big price difference but us DIY guys might be as well off with the HF version.
Yes it made a big difference in how the truck looks! I am sure the HF ratchet will work fine but I am a huge fan of Milwaukee cordless tools. I have no complaints so of course I am going to say get the Milwaukee lol! Thanks for the comment Wyatt!.
thanks for the video. was wondering if you know if they have replacement studs for the sides of the bumper? someone hit me recnetly and im trying to replace some parts on the inside of the bumper
I know there are side brackets for the front bumper that are available from Toyota that can be purchased separate from the bumper. Not sure which part you need but there are some parts available.
Can u remove the bumper without taking off anything else before?
Hey man, I'm looking at buying the same bumper. How is it holding up after four years? Still kicking?
I can instale that bumper for me tacoma 98. I wanna know please.
Great video, RIght to the point with the exact information I was looking for. Around 2:59, you said that Toyota considered that bumper assembly as three separate parts. Did you buy from the dealer or a different source? Any recommendations on a source for the best price. Thanks
I get the parts from different suppliers, two of the parts for the bumper were aftermarket and one was Toyota. RockAuto and Toyota dealers are who I generally deal with for Toyota parts. Thanks for the comment!
@@BigDog50001 Thanks BigDog
Thanks for the video. Hoping my 99 Tacoma is pretty similar. Any recommendation on where to purchase a bumper assembly for a 99 Tacoma? :)
I don't have a go-to place for older Tacoma bumpers unfortunately. Thank you for the comment!
Do you have any Toyota first gen parts?
What year is this
Great video, were you able to re-use the bottom clips from the bumper?
I did replace the 2 clips on the bottom with new ones but I believe I could have reused the old ones if I needed to.
@@BigDog50001 what kind of clips are they
My front bumper looks just as bad as your did. Where did you get your new bumper from and cost? Thanks for the great video. I am doing a lot of the same repairs on my 2001 2.7 2wd.
I got it on Amazon due to saving on shipping (bumpers are expensive to ship). I left a link in the description, but I would look around on other places and see what kind of deals you can get. Thanks for the comment!
Anyone else have a bolt or 2 or 3 break on this? hopefully not just me
I did the same job in my tacoma pre runner 99 but it was a little bit complicated bc i had a accident and align the holes with new bumper was not that easy
Accidents definitely make it harder, thanks for the input!
About to do the same myself right now.
Forgot to ask, did you replace the headlights? If so who did you purchase them from? Thank you
I did not replace them, but I did polish them.
@@BigDog50001 What so you typically polish the headlights with? Thanks...
what would that center metal beam be called that the bumper goes on?
IMHO, that is the bumper. The rest is ''bumper cover'.
the digital clock of which is an option when new costs $85.00 as an option!! can you believe it!! you know, the clock you can't see, "butt "can see only when you make a left or right turn with the wiper control arm all the way down!! do you know how many years that clock was on them? ok,,, I'm done ragging on my truck. Tacoma"s(2003) truck like mine really are good trucks?! I've only had it for 1.2 months. luv your videos!!!!!!!!!!
👍
Nice work. Nice refresh on that truck. Those cosmetic touches help up the resale value or keep your wallet safe from buying new truck when you don't need to.
Probably a good idea to buy clips if they weren't supplied. In case breaks.
How much did the front run in parts there.
It was about $175 for all three bumper parts (top and middle were aftermarket and bottom piece from Toyota). It really improved look of truck for not much money. Thanks for the comment!
Big Dog50001 Automotive where do you order from? I am looking to replace my front and rear bumpers on my 2004 Tacoma. Thanks
@@josephmountford2292 Hi, I just replaced my rear bumper last weekend. Got it from Amazon. Labworks which replaced perfect. Now looking to do the front. My 2004 had the chrome rear and front bumper, so looking to replace the front with black bumper. Not sure if I'll do the grill which is chrome.
Simple! " Butt" when I get around to it, it's gonna be a complete disaster! Guaranteed! Thank you , sir.
lol, thanks for the comment!
“it’s just these nuts”
Please note, these nuts are now 20 years old and rusted out, don’t buy the new bumper until you know you have a way to remove the old bumper. Thanks for the video
👍
it was the actual pulling off I wanted to see. Video starts with it already off. It ended up being useful.
I wanted to video the entire procedure but did not have time, thanks for the input.
you skipped the entire process of putting the bumper together
Which is why I didn't title it "Putting a Tacoma Bumper Together".
