Hefty Fabworks Banshee Bumper Release
It's been 5 years since I installed one of these on my Frontier. The aluminum units are expensive, but after weighing all the original pieces that are removed, it's essentially the same weight. So I've only gained the winch weight. I finally installed some Baja Squadron fog lights last year. Had to fabricate some brackets, but it looks great.
Do 2wd Frontiers get all the same skid plates as the 4wd?....thanks!....those plates look great 💪🏼
They do!
two thousand dollars for a bumper?! good god, time to dust off the welder. great vid and bumpers either way
Dust it off! Let’s see what you can do
How many turns did you apply to the coil overs? How much lift did it provide? I really want to lift my 4Runner with Kings as well. Thanks for the video!
It’s been a while but we went up about 4 turns on the drivers side and 2.5 on the passenger side of if I remember correctly. This leveled the suspension and gave us about 2.5-2.75” of front lift height
@@heftyfabworks thanks for the reply!…i called king and they said 5 turns for about 1in. I plan on getting the Extended travel coil overs. 5 turns might not be enough to get me to 2.5”. I guess i will have to play with it
Fantastic video! Just went through my second complete viewing session before getting ready to install this weekend!
Thank you
Found my new favorite site! And you're local to me! LETS GO
Let’s go!
I have one of these (purchased in 2021) and will install in a few days. 1. I don't see how you can get your winch controller plugged into the control box and 2. I didn't see how you relocated the temperature sensor you removed.
Access to the winch control box is from the top of the grill near the hood latch. The temp sensor is just zip tied back out of the way.
@@heftyfabworks Thanks. So the location of the temp sensor is not critical? Can be anywhere?
@@BlackDotPatrickthat’s correct
I did the install. This video helped tremendously. The only issue I had was when clocking the winch, I was careful to barely lift the cover as described in the video but the o-ring gasket still fell out of place and I had to totally remove the winch end cover to get it installed.
Do you have any video of Hybrid Seel Bumper for tacoma?
We don't yet but it is on the list.
@@heftyfabworks looking forward to it!
You guys are awesome, cannot wait to get the 4Runner back down to you guys for full armor & bumpers
Thankyou! Looking forward to it
Great video, got the bumper back from powder coat on Thursday and installing it today.
If only you didn’t require payment to ship one these I could just send you memes
If only that was the way business worked
Sweet bumper. Ill be looking into one of these for my pro 4x
Awesome! Please don't hesitate to give us a call if there's any questions you may have! 719-598-1776
I've always wondered how professionals accomplish this with consistent results. I've given this a go on hobby projects in the past with varying degrees of success (didn't really matter what it looked like). Thank you for doing a video on this.
We appreciate the kind words! If there's anything else you've been curious about when it comes to fabrication please don't hesitate to leave a comment and we can possibly make a video for it in the near future!
Excellent work! Do you have shop here in Las Vegas
We don’t have a shop in Vegas. We are in Colorado Springs,CO. We can definitely recommend some good shops in your area though
where'd you guys get the red Toyota grill letters. this is a beautiful build.
Customer bought them but they are available at several online retailers like Runnin4Tacos
@@heftyfabworks Thanks so much for the heads up.
Would they also fit R51 Pathfinders?
The Xterra skids will fit the R51 Pathfinder with the exception of the gas tank skid plate due to the rear subframe and independent rear suspension
Really liking a few recent Bronco builds. The Hefty front bumper is so clean and looks so good. Awesome stuff!
Glad you like them!
Do you have those bumpers for 2001 year models
Not for the 1st Gen Xterra
why cant they produce a bumper protector that does not require CUTTING UP the stock bumper?? they never look right no mater how well you cut up the bumper. actually the cover does make this one look way better than most. Also, not sure it will pass inspection in some states, you MUST have the liscence plate, also not sure if the 3rd Gen Taco may have issues with this and the skid plate.
We do have front license plate brackets available for them but not all states require a front license plate. Building a winch bumper without cutting the front cover isn't really feasible. If you are looking for a front cover or guard there are some available on the market but that is not the intent of this product. This bumper does work with the factory and most aftermarket skid plates without any interference.
I love this bronco.. good job here
Thank you. It was a well thought out build with just the right touches.
Does that have the Sasquatch package? Curious, if it doesn’t. We’re the cv axles, or gears changed out to accommodate the 37s?
It does have the Sasquatch Package with the 2.7. You can definitely feel the 37’s.
Damn !!!!! Amazing bumper.
Thank you. This was a quick run down for the first orders going out. We will be doing a full video soon
Wow! That's the coolest Bronco I've ever seen.
Thank you! A lot went into this one
Nice
Thanks
#LifeGoals!
Love the rake look 😍
This one we used a heavy load rear leaf spring setup which gives it a higher ride height in the back. The customer frequently pulls a trailer and needs the extra load capacity.
Bruh you weld with no gloves at all 😱
Luckily he was wearing a welding hood. 😂 very few nerve endings left in the fingers
Great video! do you sell the control box relocation bracket separately? I have a 2015 xterra pro4x..thanks!!
Yes we do, just give us a call
And I want to install this because why? I know, go to the website.
The Toyota alignment cams are notoriously weak. They tend to bend over and make alignments impossible without repairing them. This is one of the solutions to strengthen the weak points on the lower control arm mounts. It strengthens and reinforces the mounts as well as eliminates the weak point in the Cam Bolt alignment tabs. This is the most aggressive kit on the market for this application, there are other less involved cam tab replacement kits as well that we install and stock.
Thoughts on making these for the 3 Gen frontiers?
We are looking into it!
So will any of the front Aluminum bumpers fit 2012-2013 limited 4runners ?
That's correct. All of our full front bumpers do fit the 10-13 models as well as the limited models. The only thing you will have to do is relocate your blinkers.
The sliders in the video appear to have different attachment points versus the ones shown on the website. Is that the difference between the 2014+ v pre-2014?
For the 4 Runners
eveytime oil change is a pain after this.
What brand us the bumper viewed in the pictures?
Hefty Fabworks
I have a 2011 4runner limited. Is there still a full front bumper available? I've looked long and hard. Hope you can help bro!
We have several options available and in stock. Just give us a call at 719-598-1776
I would like to buy the high clearance pre made hitch on it's own. I am sure you could sell lots of them.
What saw do you use?
Where is the camera relocated to?
I’m scared to cut!
2 beers then cut. Be careful though, 3 and your cut lines might get wobbly
Got mine today and I love it. Thanks for this vid. 🙌
Right on!!! Enjoy! Let us know if you have any questions!
Holy shit man! Measure from the get go...
Definitely a good idea. I’ve cut probably in the neighborhood of 300-400 of these at this point. I can almost do them blindfolded.
Will this work on 2013 limited model ?
Same fior the limited models
How much does it weigh?
57 to 63 lbs depending on options
Why not laser it for the cut?
You absolutely could use a laser but not everyone wants to buy a laser to cut their bumper cover.
Be awesome if you’d show the cut.
I would definitely purchase if there was a complete kit to order but as it is you have to powder coat yourself and purchase a winch yourself. Just wish that there was the convenience were it was a all in one and just install it.
Hello! We can put together complete packages for you. Just give us a call or shoot us an email! 719-598-1776 heftyfabsales@gmail.com
Fantastic fab
Thank you! We take a lot of pride in our work
Two most important items on a off-road vehicle? Tires and protection! Nice looking product, I'll look you up when it's time to up build my Pro4x.
Thank you! We'll be here!
Hi, cool video. Could you tell me please what is the weight of this front bumper ?
Hello, thank you! Our 4Runner front aluminum bumper weighs about 60 lbs.
