Rear Tube Bumper 98 4runner
Hey guys what's up. I recently built a rear bumper for my 98 4runner.
This is my second attempt at building anything out of tube and steel.
Heres my first attempt: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f88/...bumper-272292/
Rectangle tube cut and notched to slip over frame:
Rough Idea:
Picked an angle:
Checking Tube against truck:
Looking at Hitch receiver and main bumper tube:
Mounting tubes cut and capped:
Figuring out shackle mounting points:
Still learning to weld:
Figured out hitch setup:
Mocking up the DP deck:
Main section in primer:
Tube sides:
CB antenna mount:
Finished:

You need to take a drive up here some weekend.
So I can give you a very intensive hands on welding seminar
The design is good your fitting looks good from the pictures .
your welding needs some work.
It might be from using the welder you are and not enough arc time.
Overall not bad

I am going into my second year of welding instruction through my Local Union.. It it is mostly Stick welding.. which I am actually pretty good with(1 year of school already of all stick welding all postions..)
For my 2nd attempt ever building anything I think it turned out pretty good. at least I did it myself lol.

I have approx 350 into the front and rear bumpers total in material, welding wire, tube, plate, paint, etc. It is a little pricey to get the material but when you think about it, you save a bunch of money compared to buying it from somewhere.
The angles weren't too hard, and i could duplicate them if i needed too. I bent the bottom tube as one piece, but because i was just winging it I needed to adjust the angle a little bit. I cut it and seam welded it.

well done. what kind of steel did you use? i dont have access to a pipe bender so i'll probably end up doing a lot of cutting and welding corners, but it'll be good practice.

As stated earlier in the Thread, I have about 350$ in materials TOTAL, including shackles welding wire etc etc for the front and rear bumpers. (if you want to see the front look through the thread until you find the link)
If you are interested in something here on YT or other forums, a lot can be accomplished and learned simply by reading.
