Your gonna need brackets! I was a little stumped cause I didn't have a welder at the house when I picked up my first 4runner bumper. Then I lucked out (sort of) and found a MM with one installed at the junkyard. It had some brackets installed. However the installer welded the brackets to the bumper. And he modified them with jackass welding. I hope to take it off one day an clean them up.

I'd check around the net man. I think FBI or someone makes these brackets. Cause the brackets were professionally cut, I just don't know why this dude modified them.

im pretty sure that the fbi conversion brackets still need to be modified to fit right

just following up to see if you did this. Ive been searching the boneyards for a bumper but nothing good enough. I might just buy a new one.
