    Hello All- I purchased this whole bar yesterday, the seller claimed it had been installed on a second generation Tundra. I do not have any mounting hardware, and I am not certain if exactly how/where to install.

    Any recommendations?
    i’m going to drag it into Home Depot in order to put together some hardware that will hopefully make it work.

    That is not what our bumper brackets look like.

    Do you have a picture of it on the old truck? What brand is it?

    Thank you for your response. And thank you for confirming what I have been slowly realizing. After some difficulty I reached back out to the seller to ask for pictures of the bar installed on his “tundra “, he said he didn’t have any. when I asked him where he purchased it, he said he could not remember…

    I guess I’m going to have to get creative with some custom brackets.
