Lookin good.

 

Well shoot, I have been planning out a tube bumper for a while but I think i like the sqare style again. Arg..... It looks real good. Allright thats it, now I am going to build that style bumper with sqare sliders. Done.


Oh yeah go with the combo sidemarker/turn signal as done here http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/tacoma_turn_signal/ I did it to my 85

 

Looks really nice, Mike!

Get a winch in there, man. It really is a great thing to have. Especially since I know youre getting more extreme!

Good to see you can fab up something that looks good!

 

thanks guys. glad you like it.

phorunninduke, thanks for the link. i was just about to start looking for the info on that...

Praufet, no winch yet. unless you want to buy me one... i'd be glad to run one in that case.

 

Did you make a rear bumper too? I would like to see it or your plans for one. I am going to make mine very similar but am undesided on how i want the back to be.

 

I gotta buy me one first, as well as 300 other things for my rig, so you may be waiting a while. I wouldn't count on me for a winch.

 

i'm going to start the rear this weekend hopefully. the only plans i have for it are on a piece of paper somewhere in my garage. i should probably find that actually...

 

did some work on the rear... i'm using 2x5" .250 wall box. the top portion will be plated as well as the corner near the tailgate. quarter panel protection and a tire carrier are also on the agenda. pics:

 

looks good. Are you going to put a reciever hitch on there or shackle mounts?

what up pat. yeah, there will be either a receiver or two shackle mounts/D-rings. not sure which route i want to go yet...

 

I went ahead and made a set of bumpers last weekend based on your insperation. Not quite as complicated but, fits my truck better than a direct copy of your would have imo. I am not really finished, but feel free to comment anyway.

 

*REAR BUMPER DONE*

just finished it up yesterday... finally... on to the pics:

 

Dude, that looks sick! Very nice work. I am super impressed. I don't know if you remember me, I talked to you about my 4runner and I remember that you go to Cal Poly. I just got into Cal Poly and I am planning on going there so I was wondering whats the deal with the 4wd club? Any info you have would be great. Are you going to be going to Cal Poly next year? Thanks.

That looks sweet! It looks like your SAS is done too. How do you like it, are you going to add a tire carrier to it also?

 

SAS is almost done. still need to tie up some loose ends on it... as for the bumper, i think it's done. except for some tow points, of course. i was going to do a tire carrier, but at this point i'm probably not going to. if i feel ambitious enough in the future, who knows though...

 

Your runner is looking good...I am looking forward to seeing the finished product

 

dude, u didn't tell me you were SAS'ing it. Post up some pics. I can't wait to see 'em

 

Nice bumpers, but I think the front one would look better with a stinger and some corner light protection.

 

^ Gotta love your first post. Welcome to YT! Your name looks really familiar...i'm guessing ttora?

Mike, your rear end is nice. Have you decided on adding to it yet?

 

Thanks for the welcome! I'm not from ttora. You may have seen me on Pirate4x4, Marlin BB, or Off Road Fab net.

My first post will make more sense once 4RunnerKid is finished with his latest additions to the front bumper. I would post a picture, but I think he's saving that until it's finished.
