New BruceTS Bumper/ CO2 Tank Mount

I am another lucky owner of a fine BruceTS rear 3rd Gen Bumper! First one to go on a white Runner. LOL

Want to say that this is indeed a high quality fab job. Bruce put countless hours of R and D time into this thing and is really does show. Bruce you got skills brother!

The man at work on his rear frame jig


The time he puts into the mock up to make sure it fits all the little differences in each Runner is well worth it.


I will take some final product pics and post them up later.

CO2 Tank

My little project compaired to Bruces bumper was to mount the bracket for my Ultimate Air 10lb tank.

The bracket is pretty beefy and has lots of optional holes for mounting. This is a mod I have wanted to do for a long time and finally was able to.




I had to pull off the 1st gen roll bar and move it back 2" so it would tuck into the space between the bar and the back seat up on the wheel well. This was actually a good thing because when I initially put the roll bar in it was a rushed job and I was not happy with it. So this time I raised it up where it should have been and made some steal plates for the underside instead of just using washers. So now it is right.

Now you just need to add the mag lite and/or fire extinguisher to the roll bar to really set it off.

Oh and meant to tell you, that bumper also looks good on a 4Runner other than green.

Good thing he's wearing his safety thongs in that 2nd pic (stolen from the Adam Corolla project).

Maybe by CO2 he just means O2.

Nope, C02.
Many offroaders including me use C02 to refill our tires after airing them down.

Once 10 lb C02 tank will refill about 30+ tires back to street pressure after airing down to 15 to 18 PSI.

Costs around $16 to get it refilled.
