This FJ is for sale locally and cannot find out who built this bumper or if anyone here knows. Drop me a line if you know. Thanks

Hmmm - it appears to be a one-off custom tube bumper to me.

I'd say Metal Tech with the bash plate and no winch.

I'm not sure if is metal tech because it has 2 top crossbars that come up to bottom of the bezel...I could be wrong..basically that dealership has offered to trade my oem bumper for that one...trying to figure out if I should....watta yall think....a straight trade at that

 

[five-by-five]

I'd go for it... it does look like an older MT design.

 

[HUGO STIGLITZ]

Cool...will do..I need to see if I will be able to mount a winch-mount on it

I know this is a bit off topic, but have you noticed how poorly dealerships detail cars anymore?

I remember back some years ago, when you bought a car, you could eat off of it. When we bought my wife's brand new HHR SS, they didn't detail it at all. Even with my FJ the only gave it a once over and put that damn clear jelly on the tires.

Heck yeah, I'd pull the trigger on that before they change their mind.

 

[HUGO STIGLITZ]

Thats what I was thinking...since I missed the MT group buy..ill jump on this

Yep, they send it through a Hanna car wash and throw you the keys..good ol days are gone

They will prob want silver wings on my bumper to match their FJ, I have a TT so anyone looking for my black bumper wings

 

[Athena]

maybe put up a for sale thread so you can get a couple of bucks for those wings

That would work or maybe I could initiate a trade, or maybe toyota won't care

 

[quacktoduck]

i could send you my wings... a trade???

 

[Capt Sensible]

I'm confused. Are you going to buy the truck, or try to buy the bumper? They will sell you the bumper off of it? If so, how much? I mean, did you just walk in and say "hey, can I buy the bumper off that FJ out there?"

 

[HUGO STIGLITZ]

Pretty much, I was at toyota getting my undercoat, waiting on my FJ and I asked if they would trade my oem bumper (the bumper currently on my FJ) for the bumper on that VD blue FJ on their lot... I left my number and they called the next day and said we will do a straight trade, bumper for bumper, so the one on their lot will be more oem and they think it would sell easier.

Quack, let me figure out the plan first and I will let you know

That's crazy!

Uh, we'll just trade this expensive tube bumper (is that actually a knock-off or an old version?) for your practically worthless stock bumper, and let's call it even! Too bad it doesn't have a lift and rims...you'd be set!

Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if it was hampering the sale of it. Here in my area we get excited when we don't see a middle-aged housewife at the wheel of an FJ...

Saw a guy the other day, but I'm pretty sure it belonged to the wife...had the big soccer ball sticker on the back...

If they are so anxious to make the deal, see if they will handle the unistall/install on both as well. :bigthumb:

No kidding. It's not like it's velcro'd on there.
