My quicksand build

I previously owned a 2009 Tacoma DCLB sr5 and did some modifications to it but very minimal, sold that truck with 230k miles on it and bought my now truck from a buddy about four months ago. Bone stock beside a camper shell.

2019 DCLB TRD OR
75k miles
Paid $23,500 for it

Since buying it I haven’t done to much beside add some seat gaps, glove box organizer, and the oversized cup holder, replaced spark plugs, and some other maintenance, but this weekend I bought a used BAMF bumper with dual swing outs, it’s a super nice bumper never planned on going with a high clearance bumper but the deal was to good. Only issue was it was cut for 35” tires. I don’t plan on going up to 35” tires ever and the gab between the bumper and flare edge is greater than i expected. Any suggestions?

Will post with more updates as I build the truck as well as what my ultimate goal and plan is.

 

You got a great price on it.

 

Find someone who knows how to weld and add the ~2" back to the bumper, should be a fairly simply project.

 

That’s what I thought or to build an add on piece that I can bolt on and would make the bumper accommodate any size tire, or to just chop the corner of the fender and flare. For now I left it and reached out to Jerry over at BAMF.

 

Cut the stock exhaust after the bumper install, to dump out right after the axle.

 

I still really like that color. I had a 2020 model and traded it for the boring gray metallic I have now.

 

Love the build it looks great!

 

Still has a ways to go but thank you! Next couple years will be suspension, wheels and tires.

 

nice! sometimes I wish I got the long bed instead

 

No one would help me not even Jerry at BAMF with the two inch difference on the HC bumper so I am just going to cut the fender and flare at a 45 degree angle on both sides to slip it in and make it look more uniform.

 

Also ordered everything to do this mod
