2nd gen Tacoma tube bumper build

Finally finished!



a HUGE thanks to Jake (707tothe907) and his friend Zach for finishing it up for me. You guys are awesome

 

Hey man,I like what u did with that bumper...I like it a lot actually,I was wondering of if u'd be interested in selling me a copy of your blueprints for it-

 

Hey i just found your pics of your truck. I like it!
I was google searching tube bumper for an 06' Taco i might buy and found yours. I really like your design. Then i noticed you live in RP. Im over in Forestville. That trips me out. Maybe its anoth sign i need to buy my first truck!

 

could you tell me what kind of tubing bender you have or did you make it?

 

He made it. We made the same one.

You can buy the plans online which includes the prints and parts list, the die from a vendor (can't recall where we got ours) and the jack from harbor freight and a couple parts from mcmaster.com.

It works well for how simple it is.

Runs off of compressed air.

You'll want to pick up a digital level, they have them at The Home Depot.

Also, if you make more than one bend on the tube, you'll want to get a Plane of Bend tool from Trick Tools so you know the tubing doesn't rotate while you move it through the die to the next bend.

I think we had less than $600 total into ours.

 

With you on this brother. You find anything ?
