C4 Fab's newest front bumper, Prerunner Style

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a few pics of my latest creation for my own rig. Decided a plate bumper wasn't fitting my style the best since I don't really off-road this truck real hard, I have two other Toyotas built for that! Ive always liked the way the prerunner/Baja style bumpers look on the tacomas so I figured I would take my time and build something special for myself.

Its not 100% finished, but very close in these pics. I still have to mount the AVEC 20" optic series bar behind the opening in the front aluminum skidplate. also probly going to add a couple 3x3 LEDs under the main tube of the bumper to light up the ditches. I took my time and TIG welded some of the more visible joints and spent a lot of time on the radius cut main upright brackets, so I decided to clear coat it instead of regular paint. I really like being able to see the raw steel!

 

a few of the bumper off the truck showing the skid logo better and the radius cut uprights with the logo

 

Good looking bumper

 

thanks!

 

So when will this be on the market ?? Haha

 

If I get enough interest, then I could start producing them!

 

Feeler thread!! Lol Im in the market for a bumper! Haha I like the looks of this one a lot.

 

I didn't really intend it to be a feeler thread, just wanted to show some pics of my latest project. But it may turn into that if I get a lot of serious interest

 

Haha I wasnt saying to turn this one into one. I was joking about making a feeler thread to see how other people liked it

 

Sub'd
It looks to be a nice alternative to a full plate bumper, if you have production rumblings, please keep this thread updated

 

I will keep it updated for sure. Right now im just looking for some feedback on what people think of it.

 

good lookin bumper! does it tie into the bottom vertical bolt hole? or does it just use the 3 forward facing bolts per side?

 

Well here's some feedback for you - pretty friggin' awesome! That's really nice work.

 

That would look awesome on my truck

 

It uses the three studs on each side plus two tabs bolting through the front lower frame crossmember where the skidplate bolts on, and there are also two 1/2" bolts going through the frame horn below the three studs on each side. So 10 bolts total!

 

Thank you, I appreciate that! I also appreciate your sig

 

boom, sounds beef!

 

it is a pretty stout setup! especially for a tube style bumper. The tow hooks are made of 3/8" plate that go through the upright supports and weld directly to the frame plate bracket. Then I welded 1/4" plate washers to the sides of the 3/8" plate where the d-rings bolt through to beef up the hole. I will post some pics of that tomorrow.

 

got some nice weather today so I washed the Tacoma and took a few pics. I finally got the AVEC 20" optic series lightbar mounted and wired.
