Here they are. The tube is 2 inch 120 wall tube pipe (two twenty foot sticks) and the front skid plate is 1/8 inch steal it took us all of eighteel hours and two days to build both thanks to the CSU (Colorado state University) Engines Lab. They are both bolt on and my roomate 89PICKUP/TACOMA did the fabrication I helped the best I could lol so a big thanks to him!!! I hope you all like.... And i will be puttin in wheel spacers to give it a wider stance due to the wide bumpers. Enjoy!!

The loock before with the bumpers off


Cuttin the pipe with the ban saw. This thing made it so much easier!!! lol

Tackin up the front


The man with the master mind lol

The front all tacked up



How we did the rear mounts




The rear all tacked up

Waiting at home the second morning... got bored and thought it looked big nexted to my roommates 4runner lol

And the final products...









Let me know what ya all think

 

always disconnect the battery when you weld

 

Thats pretty sick I could use that band saw and a tube bender myself

Great work

 

they looks good, but the side wings on the rear bumper need something inside them. Whether it be another piece of tubing like this \ or /, /\, or \/

 

ya with the side tube... lol i was thinkin about cuttin out TRD OFF ROAD in sheet metal and fitting it and welding it in there to fill it out.

 

that sounds like a good idea. as long as you do something with that huge gap in the side.

 

i like them but i love the green jeep/toyota sticker,hahahaha!

 

I agree it does need something there, and if you can make that work then Other than that it looks sick!

 

The bender I used is from harbor freight. It was just a hydraulic jack bender.

 

Did you use the "fill with sand and cap the ends" technique? Nice bends for a pipe bender...

 

I think you need to put a few strategically placed holes or something cleaver cut in the skid plate/brush guard thing on the front for air to flow to keep things cool as for the rear diamond plate painted/powder coated black would look sick

 

im surprised that being in a climate with snow you would choose to run an open style front bumper.Reason why i say this is just the amounts of snow I see here then add some freezing temps, and you could be getting alot of snow and ice build up in unwanted areas.

 

looks great!

 

Pretty nice job. Definitely some filler plates in the rear corners.

good know the Harbor Freight bender works, gonna borrow one to bend some junk for my '81..

 

ya i'll get some filler plate in. and for the open bumper part i just really like the style of a open bumper more and i dont think the ice build up will be a issue cause i was runnin with no bumper for two months lol

 

Did you fill these gaps with weld or is this before your secured it?

 

you're missing a lug nut on your driver's front wheel

 

looking good. i think it needs a top hoop then it will look like mine

they say great minds think alike

mtm

 

we took it off just how it looks and welded it fully with it off

 

ya i was takin off my wheel and it broke in half lol thanks for the comment on the bumper though real kind. haha jk
