Show off your DIY armor!

Little bit of diff armor

 

Rocking a rogue fabrication bender.

 

We need more info than that @Spoonman

 

@Zuba987 wanna add some pics if that high clearance rear?

 

My homemade high clearance bumper. Made the entire thing for under $300!

 

Some sliders and a bed bar set. What you guys think on the kickout. First set I’ve made with that option.

 

It looks great!

 

I was thinking of making a set of bed bars but instead of round tube use 1.5x1.5 square tube. Looks good tho!

 

I wanted the same, but to turn the square tube on edge. I think it would look awesome

 

That is awesome. Super clean lines.

 

Thanks! Here’s my thread for it https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-2nd-gen-high-clearance-rear-bumper.538532/

 

New beefier crossmember to replace the one I just bent. Supports the tcase skids which I made as well.



Also had to integrate a Park brake mount.



Need to add some meat to the skid plate even though it’s 1/4” I don’t want it to budge one millimeter. And maybe another gusset between the tube and the angle iron. On the front side.

 

That front bumper would look sick with some round fog light holes.

 

It might be happening shortyl

 

Keep me in the loop. I still want round fogs for my bumper.
I don't have any fabrication skills, but I could always buy the materials or tools.

 

@mike175gr wanna post some pics of those sweet sliders here?

 

Sliders all done and welded up.

 

Sorry for the late quote...

Just curious what size die you guys are using. I’m considering getting a bender this year but those dies are spendy! Was thinking 1.75”.... thoughts?

 

1.75” is what I have. I use 1.75” dom tube. I think it’s a 5.5 radius

 

Thank you!
