Spent today replacing my rear chrome bumpers. followed the tips on this forum- a great help, replaced all bolts with stainless steel. I would like to know what have other people done about the black gasket inbetween the bumper and the mud flap. I have been told it is a toyota part!!!! Tomorrow I will replace my front bumper and broken headlight. on my bull bar i would like to replace the tatty chrome bits. any suggestions were I can get them

re;looking good

today, i spent replacing my front bumper which came off easy with the mounting bracket then it was down hill since then. sheared most of the bolts that hold the skirt to the bumper. snapped the side bolt that holds the bumper to the frame. I then find the new after market bumper does not come with predrilled holes to fasten the trims on the side of the bumper.
Can anyone shed some light how to fix my problems.
loose trim,missing holes, new bracket. Thanks

looking not so good

I decided to make a template to mark the holes from my old bumber and transfer to the new one. perfect fit on one side,the other side one out of two lined up perfect. the plastic brackets in the trim had melted while I was grinding off the bolts. Toyota shop they could get in what they think is the right part for @£18 each, but if it is wrong they cannot be returned.
drastic measure-I put an allen bolt through the trim to fasten it in place.

You have bought an early, narrow bodied Surf bumper. (The Surfs without wheelarch extensions)

I fix those end caps with self tappers and silicone drilled and screwed through the edge that faces the tyre.

The trim on the A bar does have a part number:

You will need a few clips too:

90467‑09137 three I think
