Brute Force Fab High Clearance Swingout Bumper

This died before it even got started.....

No price list yet. He said sometime this month. I’ll update this thread when I get new info.

 

Standard. Company logo/name. That's free advertisement!

 

Might be interested depending on the price! Up in ak but have a shop with freight shipping that can get stuff from wa to ak to avoid crazy shipping.

 

Might be easier to go with a NWTI kit and get a local fabricator to build you a swing out:

or maybe a Coastal Off Road kit :

One of these options, that’s the way I’m leaning.
Maybe a 4x innovations swing out:

mounted on a NW Trail innovations wrap around bumper- although I like the bracing on the Coastal Off (wrap around) Road bumper, burly brace.
Still pondering.

 

That is a decent price!

 

Only issue I've heard about Coastal is their swingout's aren't designed the best so if you plan on getting one you could fab up a better swingout

 

?

 

I think you meant to say they are NOT the best design for a swing out.

 

Agreed, there just doesn’t seem to be enough support for the swing out. Looks like the bumper is just too thin- maybe not the steel but the too narrow for much shear strength...

 

That, plus the fact it doesn't go all the way across the width of the truck. Too short for adding a gas can/extra storage, and too long to make a dual swing. Definitely seems like the swing out was an afterthought.

It's an awesome design for an ultra low profile bumper, but I'd honestly think about a different bumper entirely of you want a swingout. I think the NWTI kit is pretty good, and I've been rattling off mod in my head on how to add a swingout to it using the 4xInnovations dual shear kit.

 

Whoops, yep that's what I meant. Edited the post

 

@socalexpeditions , Does Billy make that mount for that propane tank? I have the same setup, minus the propane tank. I like how you can fit two jerry cans plus the tank on that one panel!

 

Yes he does. Literally just got off the phone with him ordering the new bumper!

 

Hey I’m about to install my bff rear hc bumper on a 06 Tacoma and was wondering, what was the distance that you cut from the top of the bed or did you base the measurement it off the tail light? Haven’t found a form about installing one of his bumpers on my 2nd gen.

 

I tapped a t-square and just pretty much cut level with bottom of the tail lights.
