probably going to start building my own bumper monday

added another brace on the side of the bumper not sure if this is going to help anything but makes me feel better.

 

i completed the lower braceing here is 2 pictures of it i was going to put a conneting brace between the vertical ones but after setting it in it was clear that it was going to be a mud trap and i couldn't get the angle right for it not to be.

 

here is a shot of the back of the bumper

 

its starting to get really heavy now, i have some 5100's and 620lbs springs but i may have a chance to get something much better,

i have a friend that has a 4runner just installed these and got offered a straight up trade for a much newer tl with a lot less miles and he kind of needs a car. I may be able to trade for these Overland Warehouse 2.0 radflo coilovers. Idk if this will go through. this would be a great trade i think based on the ride in this 4runner.

 

that bumper is frickin awesome! Good job man. All you need now is one more hole for the minigun

Wow. Maybe the mini gun could be my next mod.

 

removed bumper MOD!

 

looking bad ass man

 

that really looks a lot better then i thought it would.

today started out with paint prep,
i think that this looks really cool but i ground them down later.

 

then i spent a bunch of time grinding everything and took a 360 degree shot.

 

keeping that going

 

and here she is loaded up in the bed of the truck, takes up right at the entire thing.

 

and finaly droping her off at the powdercoating

 

homie got skillllllllllllllllssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!

can't wait to see the final product!!!

 

i know a lot of people have asked for measurements and weights, i will try to do a sketch with acurate measurements of the entire thing when i get it back. this may not be that great but i promiss to do my best.

The weight was 104lbs, I dont expect powdercoating to add any real weight to it because i think it will lose the weight of the paint in the sand blasting.

The winch clocks in at 86 lbs, the roller fairlead will tip the scale at 10 lbs.

this is going to put me just over 200 lbs once its all said and done. we will see how the truck likes this.

 

great work brother... i wish i had the talent to do it.. you'll have a one of a kind, tough as nails, freshly finished bumper in no time

 

Great job man! Looking awesome!

 

sweet. might have to have u make me one.

 

Thanks to everyone for all the props it means a lot to me, i am very proud of the bumper.

When i droped it off i told them i was not in a hurry to get it back, that said when i was about to walk off there sandblasting guy pulled up and said he could do it this afternoon. They are running my matte textured black monday. i may be able to get it back monday. Im not getting my hopes up.

i dont think that im really in the market to sell these, i would be happy to help anyone out in anyway that i can. i dont have the tools or time it would take to start manufacturing these on any level. That said for the right amount of money i will make anything you want.
