Stage 1 of the DIY bumper series! Build a simple and badass rear bumper for your 1st gen Tacoma for less then $200! This bumper weights 81lbs which is 2lbs less then a stock bumper with tow hitch.
Cut file for mounting brackets available, use it for your own plasma table or get your parts in a couple days from SendCutSend.com
Brackets have been fitted on: 2001 double cab Tacoma and 2001 Reg cab and should be universal for all 1st gen Tacoma’s although I haven’t had a chance to check more years in person.
