    Nice man! you will love it. I probably won't end up doing any frame reinforcement plates, I've been talking with Coastal Offroad and am 99% sure that the route I'm gonna go. I don't believe you need them for that bumper.

    Went camping in the flippac for the first time, damn this thing is awesome.

    I've been thinking about rear bumpers quite a bit lately and have decided to just get one built. I was talking with Coastal Offroad for a while and while I love their design, they are a lot of work to build and I don't have the time right now. Hopefully getting something built by a local fabricator within the next couple weeks, going to kinda copy CBI's trailrider 2.0 design with dual swings.

    Hey bud just so you know the boys at fit garage just got a welder and the guys have welding experience. They are assembling a few coastal off-road bumpers so maybe you can get them to put it together if you go that route

    If anyone was following this thread, I finished building the Tacoma and got bored and decided to upgrade to a newer Tundra.

    2011 Tundra TRD Offroad
    -Bilstein 6112/6160
    -Method 704
    -BFG k02 285/75/17 (Making the switch to 35's soon)
    -Custom Bedrack (built by me)

    So far I love this thing and have had fun modding it. Having a newer truck with working A/C, no clunks, and abs is awesome. The 6112's ride great although I still have a lingering desire for LT... we will see what happens. I miss the versatility of the flippac but aside from that this thing is great. 5.7 rips and gets around 13-15mpg. Going to order a drifter/fwc this winter.

    Dang you didn't waste no time building that up. I got a 08 but I'm keeping the taco. You like the 6110's I'm kinda on the fence about them . There ok .. idkn maybe I'm holding them to to high of an expectation. I've been envisioning Lt and 37's. But man everything is $$$$ for the tundra. So it's just getting 285/75/18's for now.
    Here's mine.
