    So they make no real winch mount or bumper for first gen taco. So I got fed up and made my own. Who wants details?

    When I made this they had none for 1st gens. I do see they have a fab bumper now, dont look that great to me, it's over $800 and it sticks out far. First gens are harder to find anything for them

    Good for you being budget friendly and creative. But 'no one makes' isn't legit.

    Anyone here who might like the look of your solution will want to see and know the underlying structure. More info/pics required if you care to share the love.

    Like I’ve said to half a dozen people interested in my product, buy/build/provide me with a 8x10 shed with 110/220v power and the first winch basket is free. In all seriousness though, happy to get back into building these when I can...affording the work space in my current situation is not ideal

    Ah man, that's why I can't even get Into welding at all; no time and no space.

    May have a friend in norcal with the space, he's always on call for work though.

    Hey Miguel, question for you:
    Is it just me or does it look like your GF is giving you the stink eye, and coincidentally (maybe), your grinning like you just stunk up the place.
