It's hard to fit bumpers to the first gen 4runners because the roll pan/rear valance sheet metal extends down below the frame. So most of these bumpers you're looking at will stick out too far and look like they were tacked on as an afterthought. If I remember correctly, first gen Tacomas had the roll pan notched/cutout so that the bumper could fit more snugly to the vehicle. That said, my 93 pick up came to me with a Tacoma bumper that looks pretty good. I think the bumpers the Toyota put on the second and third gen pickups were not well thought out on Toyota's part.

Mine is rusted pretty badly. Since my truck is mostly going to be an on-road vehicle, I'm pretty sure I'm going to replace it with the same type.
