Actually this design would work on just about any Toy with some fabbing.
Saw this on Cascade's site, and that guy pulled it from the Snort site.

Nice clean simple style.
I don't need a tire carrier, so something clean and simple like this is nice, and I like it better than some of the round tube styles for the rear I have seen.

My only concern with that is that the bumper seems so short. I mean it's probably just me, but I'd like a bit more metal hanging down on there. I mean what if some little civic or other smallish car rear ended him? It would go under his truck, and hit axel That's just me though, A little overly paranoid

Although it is a very nice looking bumper, I really like the rear slider type things on the corners I actually saw one that a guy was fabbing a rear bumper up over on XOC, it pretty much replaces the center section of the bumper (The Xterras have a center bumper piece, and the end cap things just like the 2nd 4Runners) and it looked really cool. If i had any welding/machining skills I would make one for myself

I think he has that one short on purpose by looking at his rig.
Looks like it's setup for some serious off road duty, so he made it short so it would not kill his approach angle going up a steep incline.

Yeah, if I had one built like that, it would hang down a bit more, but not much.
Gotta get those huge new backup lamps of mine up higher

I like it. I think it looks rugged.
Do you know how much that cost?
When I get a 1st gen, I might have to get one of those.

Looks like a homegrown deal to me. Made from the same material that his rock sliders are. There's no light on the liscence plate for night driving. Around here that will get you pulled over. Aside from that it looks pretty sweet.

I have an enquiry on the bumper now over at Snort, and hopefully someone will get back to me.

Could not find it with search, and I bet it's from a recent WA. state trail run they went on.

Churnd

I like it too. I'd incorporate a towing hitch into it though and have two D-rings on on each side.

Brown

That's a very clean design. I like it-- but would prefer to see a license plate mount. Probably could be done pretty easily though. To me it looks like the owner would have to cut into the bodywork just under the tailgate to get the bumper to fit up so close to the body without have brackets hanging down. I would definitely like to see what it looks like from the underside if you find any more pics Corey.

I hate my rear bumper, and want a new one. I'm not too wild about All Pro's design, and I really haven't seen too many good looking rear bumpers for this generation of trucks, except for this one.

I got the guy's username from Mike (Crash) over there and a member here.

I'm emailing the guy now for more info.

Jim built his own bumper, did his own sas, and even just did new tube nerfs, turned out really good..
He's got a nack for it...

Cool, is he up North by you Mike?

Hopefully I can get some more pics from him.
Something like that and with a receiver hitch below, and the two tow points on each side like Churnd said would do it for me.

I have the license plate built into the tailgate, so no worries there.

He's actually 15 minutes from my place..

Shane

I like it.

I've been playing around with some ideas in SolidWorks lately, itchin' for something to make with my new welder. Fired it up saturday night on some scrap and promptly emanated a classic Tim Allen grunt, didn't know I could weld that pretty.

Shane,

Where can I get Solidworks? Is it basically a 3D CAD Modelling tool?

Shane

It's primarily 3d CAD but can also do 2d and exploded drawings. I um... found it? I like it a heck of a lot more than AutoCAD, lots easier to use once you learn the interface.

That is a cool design Shane you drew.

Hey, as soon as I saw this guy's truck, it reminded me of yours.

Mattimus

I'd buy/build one.

Shane

Thanks! I'll give you three guesses as to what that "plate" in the middle of it is.

hint: It's not a license plate, it's a placeholder for something else that I haven't drawn out yet...

Corey

iTrader: (1)

I think I have seen a few designs where that section flips down to reveal a receiver, then you slide in the hitch/ball end?

Shane

Nope. Next hint, it's a piece of steel plate with some bends in it and some other things attached to it, and there's usually something going through it.
