SOLD!!

Check out my build for design info and further designs of bumpers from my imaaaagination, and squeaky's build for pics in the wild.

Custom built rear tire carrier bumper for a first gen Toyota Tacoma, designed to be high-clearance for maximum departure angle. This utilizes a heavy-duty dual-sheer bearing spindle for the hinge, 750lb latch, and 3/16" tube for the swingout. The bumper itself is constructed of heavy-duty 3/16" plate and tube for maximum protection of the vehicle against rocks or tailgaters.

It is painted black with Duplicolor bedliner.

*Note: this bumper REQUIRES trimming of the bedsides to be level with the frame rail height in order to fit.

- 3/16" steel construction all-around
- thick 1/4" mounting brackets utilize factory mounting points - no drill install
- CNC 1" thick recovery tabs for 7/8" d-rings
- integrated tow hitch w/ chain hoops for towing abilities
- heavy duty dual-sheer spindle w/ bearings for reliability and longevity of the tire carrier
- standard 6-lug Toyota bolt pattern - mount any 6-lug toyota wheel to the carrier
- Light tabs for auxiliary reverse lights
- 750lb latch for peace of mind driving down rough roads

*note: lights, rotopax, and tire/wheel NOT included in sale - bumper only.

 

Also:
bumper is currently in Denver while I'm repairing the truck, if it's not sold by the time I get the truck back together I'll probably bolt it back up to the truck, at which point it'll live in Golden...

 

Bump for a good guy and a nice bumper.

And flip though my build for lots of pictures. Mine's gotten lots of use and holding up great!

 

bump, dropped the price for quick(er) sale

 

:fap:

 

It can be yours (for way less than Squeaky paid...)

 

Man... I need money, this is exactly what I've been looking for.

 

It would look righteous on your truck.

It'd also be a hassle to get it to you...

 

Way to rub in it...

hey free bump.

Do it! Alex, I bet you could ship this thing via Greyhound fairly reasonably.

 

I wanted to keep it priced in the $800 range, but trying to unload it quickly to get the flatbed/M416 project rolling. But I think I can get a bit accomplished for less, might not be able to go quite as all-out as I'd like as early as I'd like..

 

Awesome!

Now to "convince" congress at road trip is in order...

 

Easy: just drop mention of all the money you'll save compared to new

 

PM'd

 

Sold! Thank you, that is all.

 

glad someone bought it, my wallet said no but my mind kept saying yes.

 

There's always the possibility of future bumpers. If I actually timed my fab sessions as not prime time for riding, I'd be more inclined to do a handful.

Thanks to the sale, I'm expecting early to mid-January will be when the new back end starts to take shape, and TacoAss MK III will become a reality.
