Very simple but I think it'll work. What do you guys think?

 

what about the quarter panels? how you gonna protect those?

 

Looks good, but yeah whatcha gonna do about those quarter panels?

 

The tubing bender is next on the list, so the exo-cage will be soon to follow. This was a quick/cheap solution to not having a rear bumper for this coming weekends trail trip.

 

thats about how much it cost to do the front bumper on my pickup
nice bumper.

 

Thanks Peow, It'll work for now. By the way after posting the pics I realized somebody would ask, so yes the mounting "Z" plates are gusseted.

 

Looks a lot like the one my friend just built me. Nice bumper!

 

Thanks, I noticed yours has a receiver. I may add one to mine sometime down the road for a winch cradle to go in. Right now I don't have a winch and the ol'4runner sure as h$!l ain't pulling anything so I guess I'll wait.

 

if you want i have a TG for sale, just needs to be sanded and painted and it has protection for the quarters and a receiver, check in the classifieds if you're interested

 

I like it! So I guess you bought the tube pretty much as is, tappered the ends and added the D-rings, right? I need a bumper for mine and I like this clean and simple solution.

So protecting the corners is a big deal as I see from the replies above?

 

super awesome, looks good, and its pretty tough i bet, yotas are all about tuff parts, that are cheap and home made, so i like it, and i bet some sliders or anything for the quarter panels will be easy, cheap, and tuff also

 

I like it! Nice and clean!

 

Thanks for the compliments you guys. MortanPhotographic, I bought the 2"x4" tube at a local supply house and had to pie cut the ends to get the taper. 86gijunk, it is extremely strong, I smacked it coming off a rock saturday and other than having to repaint, it held up very well. I am very pleased with it. I will try to get the video up later.
