FRANK OF CONN. 2007 TUNDRA QUESTION

MY NAME IS FRANK OF CONN. AND I AM NEW TO THE SITE & TRYING TO TEACH MYSELF ON HOW TO OPERATE A COMPUTER SO EXCUSE ME FOR BEING JUST THAT .I OWN A 2007 TUNDRA & WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO TIGHTEN A FRONT BUMBER ON MY TRUCK. IT SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN LOOSE AFTER THE DEALERSHIP RESPRAYED THE UNDERCOATING FOR RUST ISSUES & I THINK THEY LOOSENED THE BUMBER.ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANK YOU

 

Welcome Frank. I never messed with the bumper on my '07 but someone will come along shortly to give advice.

 

Welcome from Ohio

 

Welcome from CO, Frank.

1. Thanks for your service to your community.
2. DON'T SCREAM!

 

The 07 has a few parts to the front bumper. Are you talking about the top painted bumper pad right below the grill, the steel bumper cover below that, the plastic center trim inside the bumper cover, or the actual bumper bar behind that?

Or do you have a full plastic bumper cover?

 

Hi Frank. Behind your bumper "cover" the is the actual bumper bar. There are large metal brackets on each end of it the the bumper cover attaches to. You may want to check those. You may also want to check the bolts that attach the actual bumper bar to the end of the frame. Not easy to get to but can be done.

 

WELCOME FROM TEXAS! TAKE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP! HAVE THEM FIX IT SINCE THEY DID IT

 

Good point Adam!

 

Welcome from AZ

 

FRANK FROM CT. THANKS FOR THE ADVISE BUT ONE PERSON ASKED ABOUT THE TYPE OF BUMBER & MY 2007 IS ALL PLASTIC . IT IS LOOSE AT BOTH SIDES MEANING THE RIGHT & LEFT NEAR THE HEADLIGHTS . I WANT TO TRY TO DO THIS MYSELF BECAUSE THE OTHER DAY I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET NEW WIPER BLADES YOU SEE I HAVE A CREDIT WITH THE TOYOTA REWARDS CARD ANYWAY THEY CHARGED ME $4.00 TO PUT ON THE BLADES WHICH TOOK A WHOLE 20 SECONDS SO I WAS NOT PLEASED WITH THAT .I CAN IMAGINE WHAT THEY WOULD CHARGE TO FIX SOMETHING THEY PROBABLY LOOSENED THEMSELVES WHEN I HAD EITHER THE OIL CHANGED OR THEY RESPAYED THE TRUCKS UNDERCOATING. MAYBE IF ANYONE HAS A PDF ON A PLASTIC BUMBER REMOVAL I COULD PROBABLY FIGURE OUT WHICH BOLTS MIGHT BE LOOSE THANKS AGAIN .I WILL TAKE PICTURES & SHOW THE MEMBERS ALL OF THE THINGS I HAVE IMPROVED ON THE TRUCK

 

If you mean the little rectangles under the headlights, that means the push tabs that attach them to the fender broke. The dealer would need to replace them.

 

I TRY NOW & LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS YOU TOLD ME TO DO .ALSO BY THE WAY WHILE I HAVE EVERYONE IN A GOOD MOOD DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REPLACE FACTORY INSTALLED FOG LIGHT BULBS .I HAVE HAD MINE FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR IN THE BOX & DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO INSTALL THAM. ALL OF THE OTHER WEB SITES GIVE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO DO THIS SO I REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS THE SIMPLEST WAY TO INSTALL THEM THANKS FOR THE ADVISE

 

Welcome

 

I'm still in a good mood Frank! I've got the day off.... I've got the 07 and have gotten underneath a few times and sort of got it figured out. Colorado TJ has got things under control...............(did I just say that??)
