    You're not buying the bumper, you're buying the winch tray/mount that's mounted to the 4Runner frame horns.

    They're similar to 1st Gen Tacoma's in that the front end is the same, but slightly different regarding the frame horn ends/brackets/crash bar mounting.

    You're not going to find an answer on the forums because that could be a one-off that someone fabricated themselves.

    I've seen a Tacoma fitted with a 4Runner bumper and it looks goofy - it sticks out way too far.

    So I take it you have done this mtb_taco, if so what do think about the comment kiloyard wrote about it looking goofy?

    IMO i like it. I think on the 98-04 tacomas it works. Work case you buy it, install it and enjoy for a bit then resell it. Make sure you get the turn signal sockets too as they are slightly different then tacoma.
