1st Gen Taco is 96 -2003 Correct? These will work with all of them but looks a little funny on the 02-03 Downward swoop grill. We have some add on caps to make it look right in the works. The frames are a little different from year to year so some fine tuning on your part will be needed to be done to the frame horns ( nothing to difficult)

I really think you are onto something here my friend.
I love to weld, but without a CNC, it is not cost efficient to build my own bumper.
If you ever do a 2nd gen Tacoma, I would take an aluminum kit.

Jeff we should talk... I may need a truck to model this off of. And you are local :)

Upland is pretty local. Hope this works out for both of you.

If you need a 1st Gen model let me know. I also love what your doing. The 22rec and aluminum bumpers are a match made in heaven. I would bet that between all the Toyota 4x4 forums we could get 5 eager 1st Gen owners on board for a cheap(ish) lightweight DIY bumper.

I am in the same boat and would love to see what you come up with. Would love an aluminum kit that is winch ready.

My question is where do people plan to get the alum bumpers welded.... I know some of you have the tools but would the majority?

I have a friend that will earn himself a lifetime supply of free beer for helping. This was my plan. Well that's actually plan number two. Plan number one has you guys using my 4runner as a test mule ;)

Could you post up pics of a kit ready to be shipped, I'm curious how complete/incomplete the kit is.

Thanks
