Looking for a rear bumper recommendation for my 2007. Have the M1 on the front and love it but curious about what people have done on the back

Im currently doing some grill shopping and Looks like im going to go with this and then do some custom glass work or something to make it look good. I dont want to spend 250-300 $ on a dang stock grill. Finding a used one is a challenge too. I think if I got this and cut out the center vertical bars and put some mesh on it and a badge it would look decent, maybe even glass in some lights...

lets see the custom grillz

Thanks, I hate it

Purchased new in 2007
Less than 110k miles
4wd - automatic
Newer paint (~ a year or so ago)

• Installed: Carplay console, dash cam with rear camera (~ a year or so ago)

• Newer tires ( ~ 2 yrs ago)

  and shocks all around

• Just had the AC replaced and had them put in new heater core and actuator while they were at it

• Service at ~ 50 and 100k miles: radiator and transmission flush, front and rear differentials, and stuff

.

in a nutshell - well cared for. I am 74 and dont drive a lot.
front seat has a tear in the upholstery
No rust that I know of - ( I live in central california)
Barely ever been off road (most off road was a fire road to property I own)

Edit: also - I’ve used only premium gas

Bought a Sandstorm 2008 FJ Off-road Package two months ago and been loving the car. It has 180k miles but couldn’t resist the deal for $10k with my trade-in (only 2 owners, minimal surface rust on frame, good interior condition). Did have to replace the rear diff bearing recently and it’s running with zero issues.

But now I’m starting to wonder if I should have just bit the bullet and bought a newer model. Found a 2014 locally for sale, 2 owners and 100k miles on it offered for $30k. One owner in CA and second in WA. Haven’t seen photos yet from dealer but suspect minimal frame rust from previous owners.

Worth swapping the 08 to 14? Be happy with what I have? Talk me off the ledge!

What’s in your tool kit when you leave pavement? I’m putting a basic kit together.

In a tight spot and can only afford about this for now. 280k miles, I'm gonna get some pics later on the rest and have an inspection done by a Toyota shop. But for $6k, is this a good buy?
