anyone got some good pictures of stock bumpers? Mine is a model without bumper and came to me having backed into something already so considering building a bumper for it. Wanting to see what the stockers looked like to try to model after that. Ive spent time on google looking at picts and most are of the front. (who knows, I may just leave it off but weighing my options) thanks
I dont think they ever came from the factory with them. All the ones I have seen have been aftermarket jobs.
aha.... well that explains some of the oddities I have seen. Fair enough and thanks for the info! Ive seen a few with bumpers and even a brochure picture (drawn) with bumper so was trying to find something to get the lines correct but may just be however I think looks good! Only reason thinking of it is that it came to me having had already been backed into something bending the bed a smidge so want to prevent that for the future..... mounted to the frame and all. Will see what I come up with!
ive got 2 styles this kind, very sturdy was mounted with .5in plate, bumper itself is .25in diamond plate and .5in where the ball would go. seen this same type/built bumper on 1st gen hilux's datsuns, and mazda/couriers of the same era these are the only other kinds i have, looks somewhat factory/dealer-ish only seen its like on a stout. +2 for they didnt come with em from the factory.
i like to look through google images in Japanese, google translate can give a basic idea but i find the translations confusing as the sentence make less sense than mine... https://www.google.com.au/search?q=...SAaqciAe344GoBw&ved=0CDAQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=665 the toyota lite stout, lite dose not translate so light RK40 R engine 1500 first then came the US only RK41-L (lite/light) 3R 1900 and the RK43 2R engine 1500 replaced the RK40. the lite stout (1500) was not real common in japan and yet again google images of light/lite stout https://www.google.com.au/search?q=...SViAfvwoHwDQ&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAA&biw=1024&bih=665
