Oh, and i believe those lower outers on the 84-89s is a M10-1.25 pitch.

 

i loaded your bumper into the trailer at UPS when it left scottys shop... lol i load all his overweight stuff that doesn't stack well with boxes. o well its just good to see him shippin out a solid amount of bumpers daily. good work scotty.

 

Nice Bobby. Just make sure they don't put a tape measure on the bumpers............

 

I was comparing the mounting system on this one to the MC bumper yesterday when BLKNBLU kindly came over with some hardware, seems like the MC Bumper does have a couple of extra mounting points that mount to the top of the frame, which seems like it would really help in the rotational stiffness for winching, when the winch is basically trying to twist the bumper off of the truck. I may invest in a welder and fab some of those onto it before adding a winch.

All in all - very happy with the bumper and the speed in which you got it out the door. MC were working on week 12 from the date I ordered their bumper to the date I canceled the order, I know fab work takes time - but 12 weeks is a little out there.

 

I like the bumper but I dont like the lack of mounts...

The shop I got my Marlin front bumper from, even through it uses 8 mounting bolts, recomends to weld part of it to the frame.

A winch will rip your frame apart! The front of the frame is amazingly thin!

 

Scotty any pics of the rear bumper for the early 90s trucks??? Is the bumper strong enough to use as a recovery point and/or tow?

 

They aren't "rated" for towing, but should do just fine for both light duty towing and recovery.

Unfortunately, I don't currently have any pics mounted on those trucks.

 

Confirmed - M10x1.25. Picked a couple up this morning and they worked just fine, after a bit of minor tweaking with a grinding stone & dremel on the Passenger side hole, which I had to just enlarge 1 edge by about 1mm to get the bolt to line up correctly. Mainly due to the nut being welded a little off center to the frame tho.

 

Okay, here is a pic of the newly designed one mounted on a 2nd gen 4runner

Some pics of the new bumper design

 

Man I wish I had the extra change to lay down for one of those bumpers! Scotty your fabrication skills are top notch. I am a pretty good fab man myself, but I dont think I am that good.

 

That is a beautiful bumper!!! Looks tough!

 

Bumpers look sick!! makes me excited for tomorrow morning...

 

BTW, I am shipping to Canada now too.

 

oooo...

 

Ordered mine today. Scotty was a great guy to deal with, just might have to call him back to add the extra brace plates to my order.

Under the offroad section last 2 pics.

There are before and after SAS pics on that site as well, ignore the crap bodywork, lol.

 

Nice!

 

yeah I didn't know how to post the pics, Thanks Scotty! Although the website has other good pics of trucks other than mine.

 

wow those are some nice pics! I wish they were larger resolution; a lot of those would make for AWESOME backgrounds

 

If you open them in a new window I think they turn out bigger.
