Incredible work on that bumper, and it looks great on your Runner!

I am curious as to what the fitting on the top of the passenger side is. It looks somewhat hydraulic, but I can't tell, for sure.

Probably an antennae mount

I was curious about that too...I was thinking that it looked like a air fitting...but antenna mount seems more likely...

The prize goes to you

It's similar to a compressed air quick-connect, but is indeed a hydraulic quick-connect. The female end will be attached to a flag with a compression fitting. This will make it easy to take it off/put it on.

Heyyy,

Dude good job on the bumper! I wish I had all of the resources to do this! I can weld, but Im not that great at designin stuff like you are.

Soo you were thinkin about making those custom bumpers? How much for one like yours. Just an estimate.. I have a 97 SR5.

Thanks!

we've thought about it a bit, the main changes from mine would be a little bit less steel, making it a bit lighter in some of the spots that are too heavy (overkill), and making it bolt directly to the truck with no cutting of the original frame components. There was quite a bit of labor involved, especially in the two sets of lights, so one exactly like mine, prepped for paint, with above mentioned changes would probably be $1200-1400 lights included, or 1300-1550 line-x'ed or powdercoated. We wouldn't have time until summer to take on another bumper... unless really simple, we've got 'til the end of March to do any more work.

Your bumper thread

Hats off to you. Hands down the best thread I have seen on development of
a bumper for offroaders and I have searched a lot of sites this last year. Any chance you may do any other cad/ print development this year?
