Backed into a light pole at slow speed and pushed the corner chrome bumper in a little. I had heard that Toyota designed the bumper both front and rear to be in three individual pieces like this so to minimize the cost for repairs. Your video helped me cause I wasn’t sure where to begin disassembly. Only parts I appeared to need was the Driver side bumper cover, and rear metal bracket. Cost was under $300. 👍🏻Thanks for the tutorial.
Need to do this 2 times a cab driver and a grand canyon tour van hit my rear bumper and shifted to the right side just need to bend back....thank god for a hitch and metal bumpers!
I’ve got a 2011 Taco that I have with all the fixings, setup for over landing and wasn’t really wanting to do anything to my 2019 Tundra, except get rid of the chrome but it looks like it’s just cheaper and better to do aftermarket bumpers.
So, are you saying that in most cases the center black plastic piece is going to be destroyed when I attempt to remove it? I need to remove one of my end caps to try and pull the right side bumper back after jack knifing my trailer. I can't believe I should just expect to ruin the center plastic when removing it...
@@eriknash8783 if the plastic is older or in cooler temperatures expect some clips to break off. I lost a lot of them but that piece is not too expensive new if I switch it back for some reason.
There is some other attachment points behind the tag, but easy to undo. The plastic clips that hold down the flat part where you would step are fragile. If you aren’t careful, because I broke some on each side.
@@williamchang9870 behind the bumper there should be a tab on the side of the seven-pin. Once you find the tab it should release when pressed. It took me about five minutes to figure it out by pushing everything on the 7 pin. The outer portion is a seperate piece that clips into the bumper. Then the harness plugs into that from behind. Hope this helps. Thanks for commenting.
I replaced the end caps on my brother inlaws and it required me to pull up on the plastic piece... unfortunately being a 2016, the attached clips were brittle. Now gotta order a new one. If you crawl under, you might be able to push the clips free from behind before yanking on it. If not, chances are you'll either break the clips and bend them out and the plastic piece won't sit tight anymore. Not exactly a cheap peace either. About 300 from Toyota.
I saved the whole rear bumper and sensors. The new bumper could be fitted with them but it would take drilling a few holes. I found even with a topper they are not necessary since the OEM mirrors work so good. I trust the mirrors.
Wtf, why you need to removed each part part individually. Why can't you just removed the whole bumper as one pieace. There has to be a better way. This make it way complicated.
Toyota and Honda over build everything. Multiple pushpins, 10mm bolts and clips on the same part. It’s so frustrating, but if I find a better way I will post it.

Hey, thank you for watching, and glad it helped.

nice video. doing a 2021 trd pro next weekend. no sonar/parking sensor so it should be easier for me!
Just take your time. Toyota uses a lot of clips and push pins.
the very first thing that should be stated is exactly what you are working on ! Who knows what year Tundra you are working on ??

I would definitely do the rear bumper first.
Im going to attempt replacing the plastic portion. Wish me luck. 🙂
You will do fine, just take your time and don't force anything. Those plastic clips like to break.
Appreciate the video sir, this helped get mine off
I'm sure there is an easier way but this worked for me. Thanks for watching.
Helpful video, thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Thanks!!!
One of the few low points on Tundras, the beer can bumpers!
OMG no kidding, my 17 Tacoma was even worse.
@@828findadventure at least my 2014 doesn't have those shitty air pumps like my 2009 did!

U did it the hard d way
Is it only 3 plastic clips and the 7pin electrical thing to remove and we can easily pull off the plastic?

@@828findadventure How do I remove the 7 pin trailer wire? I am having difficulty with this part. Thank you!

Do you still have the blind spot monitors
I saved the whole rear bumper and sensors. The new bumper could be fitted with them but it would take drilling a few holes. I found even with a topper they are not necessary since the OEM mirrors work so good. I trust the mirrors.
Would you sell it to me? Is there a way I could contact you?
@@user-lx8nu9zf1j I wish I could, I’m saving the complete bumper for when I sell the truck if and when I do.
@@828findadventure one more question where exactly are the blindspot monitors in the rear located
@@user-lx8nu9zf1j inside the bumpers corners behind the plastic.

Do you want to sell the drivers side corner?
No, I’m keeping them.
You know you can just unbolt the whole thing
Should have done that, would have been easier.
No one this piece of sh!t stock bumper barely holds my weight. I'm only 150lbs ffs. Good job! Looking at doing the same on mine
My 2017 Tundra was a pain in the ass. What I thought would take 1.5 hours took 3. Be warned, The plug pigtails on sensors break easy
Yeah, if I end up reinstalling the OE rear bumper I will probably have to source a few things I broke tabs off of. Especially the top piece. LOL
