    Buying a used Tundra soon,

    03 Extended Cab (108k miles) Phantom Grey. Gently used, buying from the family of the 95 yr old original owner who garaged it. Some scrapes and dings, but I’m really excited to get her. The back bumper might need to be replaced at most. Would be in the market for a phantom grey rear bumper possibly.

    It has a camper shell that I want to get curtains for. Any leads or recommendations on that would be really helpful.

    Glad I found this page!

    Welcome from AZ

    it might be hard to find a color matched rear bumper, usually only found on limited trims. Most are either black or chrome.
    Make sure you find out when the timing belt/water pump, and lower ball joints were done; use that for price leverage.
    As for curtains, something custom/homemade might be your best option.
    Good luck with your purchase

    @FrenchToasty, I’ll keep that in mind. Getting a great deal on it ($6500), but all maintenance was done at a local Toyota dealer. Besides the bumper, the truck is in great shape for being 17yrs old.
