97 Tacoma front bumper install

install a new bumper on
your 97 Tacoma for $166 I bought this from car parts and it didn't come with the grill but it came with the bumper and the bottom piece and it looks like it's going to work as long as you have the bumper elbow bracket.
A 1997 Toyota Tacoma truck has 4 cotter pins. Two are used on the steering tie rod ends, and two are used on the lower ball joints. These cotter pins help to prevent the tie rod ends and ball joints from coming loose.
Here are the specific locations of the cotter pins on a 1997 Toyota Tacoma truck:
Steering tie rod ends: One cotter pin is located on each steering tie rod end. The cotter pin goes through a hole in the tie rod end and is bent over to secure it in place.
Lower ball joints: One cotter pin is located on each lower ball joint. The cotter pin goes through a hole in the ball joint and is bent over to secure it in place.
It is important to inspect the cotter pins on your Toyota Tacoma truck regularly to make sure that they are in good condition and not damaged. If a cotter pin is damaged, it should be replaced immediately to prevent the tie rod end or ball joint from coming loose.

Thank you, I am rebuilding a 1996 Tacoma. Someone had previously tried to work on it and parts are taken off and I don't know what they go to haha. It's been fun and a nightmare.
I am glad I watched this first, I zip tied the grill on to mock it up. Bumper first though ✅.

Actually are a pretty decent truck the person that owned this truck didn't take care of her too well so I'm giving her the love she needs hopefully one day we can get her back on the road again if nothing else I bought this truck for the engine to my 87 4Runner they had exact same four-cylinder motors
