Its no secret that Toyota likes making small changes mid-generation to their platforms.
A perfect example: On the 1st gen Tacoma, from 96-97 and 2001-2004 the front frame ends are capped the same but they changed them for 3 years in the middle of the generation.
This product allows you to convert your frame ends on 98-00, or replace the other years frame ends with a thicker more robust cap.
Cut from 3/16 Steel vs factory at about 1/8"
Comes ready to weld on to frame ends
M12 nuts welded to the back, bolt and washers included to secure new bumper.
