01Tac0ma Build

about 30 bucks and 2 hours. i would say f fords but this is a 1966 ford bronco...i am toyota tacoma for life but that inline 6, short wheele base , and simplicity will outdo a tacoma anyday...i am not one to trash talk our beloved tacomas so please no offense

 

Got some shackles in for my front bumper...bout damn time



now time to start that rear bumper.

 

green pins are boss shackles

 

those things are beefy

 

how did you get your gauges blue, i like it

 

Duh

Yea they are, i think their 4.5 ton and are about twice the size of the elite shackle i got and im deffinatly glad i got them after what happend that weekend

LED swap... Order some LED color of your choice from ebay. The bulb type is 194 and it takes about 15 minutes to do

 

rear bumper design

Hopefully pick up the material soon and get started!

Thoughts welcome.

Oh and the tag will be moved to the tailgate

 

looks good!

 

Thanks, its a one off of 3 different ones floating around...
Should be pretty unique when finished..hopefuly ill get the material very very soon and get started on it!

 

making it yourself?

 

I like it. are you going to put a led light bar on your license plate?

 

Yes, it will probably be a somewhat time consuming project now since i just got a job working 7 days a week but that should help fund it as well and ill be able to finally get a winch

And yes ill try to use my stock ones but idk how that will work, will just put the license plate on the tailgate

 

Heres a better drawing i spent a little more time on...minus the "steps" kind of undecided on them but i do like em so idk maybe ill just bend up the tube and see how i like it on there once the rest is built... Anyone got any other opinions or ideas?

 

what an artist

 

Looks horribly honestly lol, wish i knew how to use sketch up or something, the little steps look better in the first quick drawn version and of i do them they probably wont have those little tubes running down to the flat piece on the front but hte rest is pretty much exactly what it will look like. Kind of a hybrid rear bumper and its only gonna cost me about $300

 

300 for material or for labor too?

 

everything, labor and material

 

nice and cheap for bumper! when i do mine i plan on just material cost due to the fact my dad has access to a high dolllar welder and he is decent with one.....i will be grinding

 

i also will be doing a plate bumper so no bending for me just cutting

 

Yea, im going to be doing mine with a buddy thats taking classes at Piedmont tech and his instructor said we could use anything we needed so i told him id shoot him $100 to weld it all up for me and ill buy the material, idk how much the material will really cost but shoudlnt be too much more than $150 if that especially if i can find some drop laying around... Id like to do plat but it just wouldnt go wit my front bumper and after i drew this design out i just kind of fell in love with it combimbing my 3-4 favorite bumpers from different companies around the webz
