Basic Front Bumper

Good Morning,
First time Owner and I am sure this has been beaten to death, but I used the forum search and shows me all these fancy Offroad bumpers. I am just looking to get rid of my front Chrome Bumper without spending a grand on a basic simple bumper.

Current bumper


Kind of what I'd like:



I have heard painting Chrome isn't recommended, so just looking for simple bumper options.
I've googled and seems to only show fancy bumpers with tow hooks and ditch lights and winches and sensors and all the works. I also don't know anything about Bumper Covers but doesn't seem very permanent, but I am open to be taught if they are ok.

 

Your best option would be to get your bumper sprayed in Line-X Premium. I did that on my 2013. Let me look for the pics. I think you would be happy with it.

 

Here is one pic but I am still looking for the better ones.

 

As long as this doesn't break the bank, I am definitely on board for this look!

 

Or you could go with an OEM plastic front bumper from a Limited or Rock Warrior. It could be painted body color or left black.

Do all the prep work and it shouldn't cost much. I have a mobile guy I use and he charged me $100 to do mine when I had a stock setup

 

It was around $250 when I had it done. Call Line-X and send them the pic and they can give you a rough idea.

 

Thank you for the information. I am still trying to wrap my head around all the models and compatibilities and versions.

 

Definitely in my wheelhouse and I think it looks a little bit more durable than the basic painted look. She might be a pavement princess, but I like the look as well without going overboard

 

Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure if it was a special that had to be done by distributors in house or not.

 

Line-x is very durable.

 

Your truck looks great and I didn't even consider they could do the rear bumper as well. Thanks again! I found a Line-X shop right down the road and getting pricing now

 

That was my 2013. I have a 2020 now and have both bumpers, side steps, and flares all Line-Xed.

 

I might have to eventually take the fender flare route once I get my chrome removed. got the grill assembly on the way and going to look at a set of nerf bars today. I get the bumpers and the badges and I am set assuming I don't get divorced along the way...

 

Lol....we all.know the wife "what do you need that for" or "how much was that"?

 

This one is a popular choice too. I found mine on eBay sometime last year. Search for TRD front grille for the 2012 Tundra and see if you find anything on there

 

Thanks again for the information. I sent out quotes for Powdercoating and LineX and the powdercoating quoted me $50 a piece accidentally (His Wife Did apparently), so I couldn't pass that up.
Now if my grill assembly would come off of national backorder and some badges and headlights, I will be good to go!

 

Or you could do a legit Front Grill and call it a day.

 

I have the grill/bulge/insert assembly ordered from Toyota but that is actually on national back order so I'm waiting for that now.. impatiently...
Part number 53100-0C240-B1

 

I had to wait too bro, you won't regret it though!!!

 

Yeah I know. On a plus side, I bought a $35 black exhaust tip on extremeterrain and they are offering a $200 credit if I video the install, so that will pay for some basic black headlights and give me time to convince myself not to pay stupid amounts for the morimoto xb set

 

Seen a few threads about putting a 2.5 bumper on a second gen, just need a half inch or so of spacers. I may go that route if I can find a cheap used bumper.

 

It finally Came!




I am having a lot of issues trying to locate the black emblem though. Sparks doesn't have it and I can't seem to find a part number for it. Just a bunch of overlays. I am going to try an overlay, then spray it if I don't like that look.

 

I thought the TRD Pro Grill came with the lettering??? Hopefully the below helps a bit... This is what i ordered for my truck, minus the qty 2 for the grill molding. You only need one, mine is a 2012.

 

While I agree your grill looks nicer, this one isn't a TRD Pro and was half the price and I am trying to do this on a budget. This is what was recommended to me and was color matched, so I pulled the trigger. I am satisfied with it!

 

So what color is that? I want to do the same thing, but I have Slate Metallic Gray 1F9.

 

Mine is 1G3 Magnetic Gray Metallic.

I am still figuring all this out, but when I googled for yours, I came across
https://www.sparksparts.com/oem-parts/toyota-front-grille-slate-metallic-1f9-531000c170b1
Granted it shows a blue grill in the photos, the description is for 1F9. I then took that part number and googled it and came up with this:

https://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/p/TOYOTA__/Grille-Front--Upper--Lower/3971935/531000C170B1.html
Part number: 531000C170B1
The Only sucky thing is that Toyota Website doesn't list color codes on their parts which is dumb, so I would definitely send an email to verify this is in fact 1F9.

Hope this helps

 

Thanks, That really helps me out!
