Excellent bumper as always, you should just start manufacturing your own line of aftermarket bumpers, you have a Hella keen eye for design and fabrication. But there is a problem...now you need to make a rear bumper to match, as well as a duckbill spoiler for the tailgate and a visor for the windshield and some horizontal diffusers on the front bumper sides in front of the wheels...sorry, you brought this on yourself 😆

I think the lip on the bumper may be too big and the bumper is a bit too angular for the truck....the truck is a more curvy and sleek while the bumper has a lot of harsh angles and an aggressive look...amazing skills to build it though. I think you should restore the paint on the truck and maybe paint it that bronze color from before (something different and out there)

They were imported in '72 as the Toyoto Pickup and were sold here until '95 when it was pulled and replaced with the Tacoma. It was never called the Hilux in the US but it was the same truck.

My apologies, pull the bumper off and keep looking for an OE or no bumper. Also the Chin spoiler is a mistake. Looks cool but HOW are you gonna keep from ripping it off? If you catch a dip or bump say goodbye. I’m not saying it going to get ripped off right away but the law of averages is going to catch up sooner or later. Sorry not trying to be negative just saying.
