How to modify an 2005-2015 tacoma arb bumper to fit your truck

Everyones been asking so i shall write

I picked up this bumper cause a brute force fab is too much money and this one was basically brand new and for an unbeatable price.

Heres how i did it I basically cut the bracket that's supposed to go onto the Tacoma about five inches back tacked it to where it was supposed to go on on the rest of the bracket/crossmember and no dice so i proceeded to push it up 2.5 inches and boom perfect fit i welded it up braced it 15 times and made it look nice with some paint

I then realized that i could make it stronger by welding in a piece of thick angle iron in-between the frame rails and beef up my frame face plate tabs that were all messed up and add more angle iron to the top of the frame with to add another bolt through

so in all the bumper is held on with 6 bolts to the bracket and the bracket it held on with 10 bolts to the truck

 

heres your answer guys now you better not lose this thread

 

Hey y'all, has anyone seen if an ARB Taco bumper can be modded to fit an FGT? I've searched with no luck...

 

Nicely making it happen.
