    I have a 1994 toyota pickup standard cab 2wd. I have bought 2 different chrome bumpers now and neither of them line up on the side with the fender and my valance that is for a 92-95 pickup. Is there a specific 2wd bumper i need to make it line for 92-95? The bumper is about 1 inch shorter on both sides where it doesnt line up with the fender.

    This is my truck you can see the bumper doesnt line up with the fender and valance flush.

    FOR AN AFTERMARKET BUMPER IT LOOKS PREYTY DAMN CLOSE...I JUST GOT AN AFTERMARKET CHROME BUMPER FOR MY 83 AND I HAD BEND THE CRAP OUT OF MY BRACKETS TO MAKE IT FIT. LOOKS GOOD THE WAY IT IS.

    Your bumper looks off ina few spots. Mainly twisted. Left side looks like theres a large gap between it and the grille. Might want to mess with the bolt hole locations. Maybe enlarging the holes with give you enough movement. Remember tolerances at the time were horrible. And aftermarket replacements rarely ever fit correct without some massaging

    Is there a way u can shorten the brackets anyway? To where the bumper sits a little further into the front end? Maybe split the difference of gap

    I agree.

    Looks like modifying the brackets will give you a perfect fit(flush/level)...Whatever that entails :)

    the bumper brackets should be adjustable slightly
