  • Old front bumper

    Guys, picked up my first Prado today a 2008 KDJ120. First trip is to ARB next week for a bullbar and OME 2" lift. The bumper front panel that is replaced by the bullbar is brand new. What happens to it? Do I get to keep it? I figure someone could buy it and I suspect they are not cheap! Anyone had this experience?

    They are a dime a dozen, you would be lucky to give one away.

      Bugger, I'm looking at doing a similar thing, and was hoping that I could get something back for the old bumper (just to soften the blow to the wallet).

        I sold my 150 bumper with the OE fog lights for ~$150 on ebay. Had to list it about 6 times over a couple of months before anyone bid. Not much demand for them out there but a bit of beer money if you've got the patience

          Yeah I got my graphite one which I'll put up for sale soon.
          I don't really get why not much demand for them. Heaps of prado's out there and accidents generally all the time.
          I'm not sure how much an OEM costs, but a couple hundred bucks sounds fair for a private sale IMO.

            Just checked Gumtree in my local area, and there is a number of 120 and 150 bumpers on there going cheap, so I'm not holding my breath to get much for ours when the bar goes on.

              I just tossed mine in the local "transfer refuse station" (the dump)...

                My 95's bar was damaged when I replaced it with the ARB steel bar. They were a bit surprised when I asked them for the original fog lamps back, said most people just toss them. I couldn't use them but figured someone else with a factory bumper might want them; really should get round to listing them in the sale section now I no longer have the 95.

                  I sold mine in about an hour on here to a fellow member. God only knows what uncle Toyota would want for one but a 100 beer tickets came my way and he was happy to have a spare stashed in the shed just in case.
