Rubicon Bound

yea i didnt work on the bumper at all sunday, i just chopped the rear fenders and did a trail run with the TTORA guys. I got it about 80% done today. Need to add a few supports and finish weld and paint it...

 

Roland, your truck is sweet.

 

thanks man!

 

made a rear bumper... not sure i like the bed protection. what do y'all think?

 

Nice work!!!

 

thanks man... i could do 10000000x better with a shop and real tools not a front yard and 4 1/2" grinder.

its tough though. i used it a few times the other day before i added the sides and bed protection.

Its not 100% done. Still need to add a peice of 2 1/2" 1/4" wall for a receiver hitch.

thinking of a way to make a swing out tire carrier to add to it

 

Great looking truck! Awesome job on the bumpers and sliders!

 

I hate you and your BEAUTIFUL truck.

 

Did a little snow wheeling today... Thanks again to Tacovendor for the amazing deal on the cap...

BTW the duratracs rock in snow. there was 4-6" with 20-30" deep drifts. Never needed 4wd. 2wd with rear auto LSD and i never had an issue...

 

sick truck man!

 

thats good to know about the 2wd in the snow.
I like the rear bumper minus the fins aka bed protectors. It might look better with them chopped even with the bottom of the taillights

Still a sweet truck though

 

you go through here and screw up, youd be glad you had it...

 

yea i watched a 4runner destroy his rear quarter and tail light and i was like "yea, im going to incorporate some protection there"
lol

 

Sweet truck I to love my regular cab. I'm looking at making a pair of sliders because I did some damage myself on a stump not as bad as you but good enough to make me want sliders. I was lucky enough to get a job were I'm learning how to bend tubing and weld so I to will make a pair. Hope to see more of your truck

 

This is a bad ass build!

 

thanks for the praises

 

I hope you can pull it off man! Nice rig too! I would think the rubicon would be tough as hell with IFS.

Check out these videos of The Rubicon!

pretty cool vid ehh?

I say we make one like that with the TACOs.

Show them how its done!

 

looks like all of the video is doable in my truck.... looks like 80% of the time they took the harder line... theres videos on youtube of toyota taking stock 4runners...


body damage on the rubicon is cool... people will lokk at the truck and be like aww that sucks (pointing to a dent or scrape) and you can say, "i did that on the rubicon"
