thanks. look like we both went wheeling the same weekend.

oh i would love to go but im doing for the 1st time a thanksgiving thing at my place with my family and my girls family. gonna be like 20 plus people.

funny you mention this. i placed an order for one in a group buy on expedition portal. it will be used for sure

 

Best rear bumper I have seen to date. You going to be making them?
Id like to have one actually. Dead serious.

 

didnt get much action pictures as we went up a different way i never done, only came down that way twice but going up was basically a long stretch of up hill rock garden. the up hill made it very interesting lol im used to flat rock gardens haha. no issues thanks to just a locker in the rear.
there was like 2-3 different groups and i hang out with each one of them. was great meeting new wheelers. love this hobby, every is so nice and friendly.

Looks like another fun trip. I really like you bumper and accessories! Is visibility for backing a problem? Knowing you you probably have a rear view camera or something?

I was trying to do a search for "Blazeland" and its coming up with hundreds of threads now. I am creating a bump on threads that are pertinent to the subject. I'm marking them with keywords. I am using "Blazelander2013" if its a rig that actually has a Blazeland kit or good related info.

 

the rear interior rack has already lowered my rear visibility so i already got used to mainly using my side mirrors. the tire pretty much too out what little rear visibility i had. i can see some stuff to the right of it but im not really worry about what is behind me. i have one of those wide angle rear view mirror and it allows me to see out both my rear side windows for changing lanes a breeze. im in the process of getting a gopro hero black for a back up camera when im not using it for trail filming .

its good to see more blazeland build threads. i havent seen to many before i got it. that is why i try to post up tons of pictures of what i wanted to see when i was looking lol

 

That was so fun looking at those pictures! I really wish I could get up there sometime in the near future, roll with you guys! Love scene that little bit of snow starting to build up! Very cool man, thanks for sharing... And Blanca is looking sexy as ever,... look at her shake those hips! Hahaha!

Bumper, .....everything is looking great!

 

that looks fun! hoping to go up to bald this weekend!

 

the bumper itself is actually made by Hanson Bumpers, they no longer make toyota stuff anymore and cursing on easy street making heep bumpers only. the dual swing out was added by a local fab guy name Billy, he owns Brute Force Fab and mainly builds 1st and 2nd gen taco bumpers. he does do other work and damn good at it.
anyways, the reason we dont see any full plated bumpers being built is cost. who would pay 1-1500k for a bumper and swing out set up when their 1st/2nd gen truck/runner is only worth 2-3k.

this is why you only see bumpers being made for 30k plus vehicles. 30k runner vs 2k bumper/swing out set up isnt as bad lol


thank, i need to go hit up some trails down south with you guys sometimes

post up pictures if you go. might not be much snow by than. this weekend might have been good for a light snow run. but im gonna be busy with turkey day which im hosting for the 1st time this year. i got like 20 plus guest showing up. ekk. been on house clean up detail this whole weekend. still got tomorrow to finish up

 

teaser from today

 

Looking good, fellas! That first photo looks so familiar, are you guys up in Tahoe?

Sent from my iPhone using YotaTech

 

Sweeeet! That looks like it's GoProtastical! Lol... Sweet pics, as usual!

 

 

Read like this whole post last night, thing is badass man sweet build!

 

want your bumpers!

 

no this is near Fresno,CA. how is the trails up by Tahoe? wish it was alot closer to me.

thanks, still figuring out how to use the go pro and where to place it to get more shots of my rig instead lol

wow thanks, hope it wasnt to boring of a read even tho i try to fill my thread with tons of pictures lol

bumpers do make it look like i mean business lol

 

more pictures to come, figure you guys can check out my 1st time using a go pro for video.

this big o rock is slippy and steep. the two guys in front of me, locked front and rear had issues, took them a few tries to get up it. now im only locked in the rear and it only took me two tries haha. 1st try was slow and just to get a feel for how it was before i readjust my skinny pedal for the final push lol

the 1st two video show how my buddies are having trouble. both locked front and rear. taco as dual cases and red runner has 4.7 t case gears

this is me making it look easy

i have a few more videos if you guys youtube my new channel. TOYOTECH

 

I haven't been keeping up on your build lately, this is the first I've seen the shade umbrella. That's an amazing idea that I'm definitely gonna steal from you somehow. Rig's looking good!

 

Killin it up there buddy! Woot

 

if you don't mind me asking... how much did the fab shop charge you for the tire carrier and swing outs?

 

hah! put the others to shame!
