Poll- Tube vs Plate front bumper

Which bumper is this?

 

One off custom, I believe it was on there when he bought the truck.

 

Thanks. It's nice. Pretty much what I'm looking for.

 

It's custom built

 

Place to sleep out of the weather and store/lock gear while hiking and backpacking for 300 bucks? I'll take it.

 

One thing at a time. I'm upgrading suspension first, then doing the bumpers. Priorities.

 

What do you think of the kit? I think I will order one in the next year or so once I get settled after my upcoming move

 

I figure if I'm going to keep filling this thread with BS I should contribute a pic of a bumper no one has seen before... This is my neighbor's bumper which he made in like two days so he could have a winch for his trip to Death Vally, it is all aluminum c-channel and tube and the front under the license plate has been machined into a fairlead for the winch. This is stupid strong but certainly not pretty, seen him really beat on it though and it holds up. Love this truck and the way it works though, it's what made me get a Tacoma.

 

I know right... Same goes for fenders.

 

oh man... I had to look away. My eyeballs started to melt.

 

Yeah my bumper has that effect on people

 

I may or may not have touched myself when I first came across this picture (no pun intended) on TW a looooooong time ago

 

Understandable, I still think @ffirg has the best looking bumper made for 1st Gens, the one you posted looks similar.

 

Oh yeah his truck, and ponethousand's, made me treat myself like an amusement park also.

 

Better than it being your grill.

 

Same boat, different ocean. Wrapping up my Information Systems undergraduate degree over the next two weeks and I have a 16 page paper due tomorrow night and 30 page portfolio due next week.

 

The kit was SUPER easy to put together. I had a friend of mine down the street do all the welding and he was impressed with how quick and easy it was to assemble as well. I highly recommend it. I saved a ton of money on shipping as well by opting for the DIY kit. It also came with a super sweet wreath mount.

 

Does it with come with turn signals?

 

It doesn't come with turn signals. I bought the 2" LED signals at O'reillys for around 6ish gold shillings. splice the wires into the original turn signal wires and then replaced the turn signal flasher relay (behind the knee bolster fuse panel) with the Novita EP35 flasher from Advanced Auto (also on Amazon).

 

Signal flasher necessary?
