Decided to built myself a high clearance rear bumper for my taco! It's a project. Wayyyy cheaper than buying one. So far everything has costed me less than $225 + labor.

Not done yet (obviously) I will be adding pics as I work on it some more but figured I'd share with with some people.

@Casper66 ....think we could do something like this?

Actually I bent the side plates up a little bit on that trip bc there we’re some pieces missing but I fixed it before I continued working on the bumper
