That's a sturdy and nice looking bumper. Did you build it yourself? If not, where did you get that from?

Tom how much did your welder charge you? Perhaps this would be a good group buy item.

Looks cool. Where did you get it?

Also, where is your exhaust? Isn't it supposed to exit right behind the right-rear tire?

Nice bumper. Got details?

It brings a tear to my eye. I had a '92 mini in that color. I went through a few stock bumpers with that truck. I think I had a bullseye painted on it as I got hit too many times. I would have loved to have that bumper on my mini. Hell, wish I never sold the damn thing.

Exhaust exits on the driver side on the 2nd gen runner and 3rd gen truck. Your Tacoma is a 4th gen truck. They changed the side the front driveshaft goes on too with your gen.

That is very nice Tom.
Different than the All Pro & Badland Bumpers style of rear tubers.

I like it a lot.

True, looking nice.

However, how do those rims of yours do when you go through deep mudd?

I have similiar rims and I have a HUGE problem with them!!

Thanks for all the response folks. I didn't build this bumper myself, I had a basic idea based on bumpers I have seen in the past and we made up something a little different. My welder did an awesome job, if you guys are interested he might make more. email or PM me for specifics.

My exhaust is on the driver's side, but the pipe rusted, so I cut it off and now it exits downward between the spare tire and the leaf spring.

Those rims do ok in mud, I've had the truck covered before. I always take the wheels off after deep mud to clean the brakes out. I have black rockcrawler rims that I use when 4wheeling. The current rims on the truck are my "highway" ones.

Anymore questions feel free to send them my way.

I'll have a full writeup with more pictures in the next few days, I'll post an update.

Tom

Reason I ask is because I have similar rims and everytime I go through deep mud, they fill up with mud on the inside of the rim and makes my driving horrible when I leave.
