My slow high clearance rear bumper build

So I know the bumper was finished but I didn't really finish the Jerry can holder. So I spent a little time today making one. It came out pretty decent. Still a few little things I have to add. There will be a couple holes drilled in each side at the top where a pin will slide through underneath the handle and have a lock on it so nobody decides to come up and steel my Jerry can. Also added a license plate mount as well where I will wire in a light to illuminate the plate.

 

Anxious to see Pics when you get it mounted!

 

For sure dude. I'll probably get it mounted up tomorrow

 

Well I got the Jerry can mounted today and I think it looks pretty good. Gotta grind it smooth and paint and add a pin to it so that I can lock it.

 

Thanks buddy!

Amazing work man! Thinking of attempting this, any idea on how much your into this bad boy? If u don't mind me asking,

 

Thanks bro! I really appreciate the kind words. I spend a total of $185 to build the entire thing including the heavy duty spindle for the swing out. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Man revisiting this really makes me want to build a rear bumper. Anyway again Awesome all around build!

 

Hahaha dooooo ittt!!!! Your front bumper turned out so nicely I bet your rear one would come out just as sick!!! Thanks I really appreciate the kind words dude. I'm proud of the way it turned out!

 

Yeah I need to get back on my Taco, my attention has been on my 4runner and I just got a beat up hard top for my FJ40, been restoring that. Might be time to put some love to the Taco. Rear bumper is a must(need a good place to put my 35'' spare) and I want to build a bed cage like yours but more low profile, Id like to set up a RTT on so the top of the closed RTT is flush with the Tacoma Roof.

 

Right on bro! Here is what I have going right now. Sold my old bed rack and almost finished with my new low profile rack. The tent will maybe be an inch or 2 higher than the cab.

 

Looks clean! That’s exactly what I had in mind. Id go a little lower, but need to pick up a RTT first so I know how high I can go. That’s probably the only reason I have not built one yet. $1000+ for a RTT.

 

Yeah the RTT's ain't cheap but they're sooo worth it!!!

 

That is awesome! First few pic, I thought was simple and ugly (obviously still bare metal) but half way through I started thinking it was awesome looking...now I want one, just like that! Nice work man!!

 

That thing is stout!

 

Thanks so much bro. Sorry such a late response. Never saw this message. I'm happy with the way everything turned out!

 

Thanks man! It's pretty solid. Im happy with the way it turned out!
