I just recently/ randomly picked up an 01 4wd sequoia & you sir got yerself a subscriber!!! Dude I wish I coulda been at you house with a MagicMarket / cardboard & made a copy of this kit !! L😀L
Thanks for the tip on cutting those pieces to fill those gaps. Mine was exactly the same way so I was ready to take care of it after watching your video.
You can use coat hangers as fill rods for welding those gaps. Lay the rod across the opening and tack it on one end. Then weld right along it, the gap will fill in nicely.
@@treehouseoffroad Is there plastic around the metal coat hangers? I think he meant the metal coat hangers not plastic ones. Either way I like the tip!
@@treehouseoffroad Good to know. I’m getting ready to weld together a tire swing out kit for my Sequoia. Did you ever weld those Rocky Road rockslides to your frame?
@@treehouseoffroad thanks for being a loyal follower. I envious of where you’ve got your sequoia. I haven’t decided yet if we’re going to do bumpers for ourselves. Good to know you’ve got some good content on doing the job. Might come in handy later.
Looking at 1 of these for my 1st gen tundra. I wasn't sure what type.of weilder to use. I'm a novice but have a couple of welders my dad gave me. I would have removed the bumper after taking everything to do the full welds, would have saved burning your paint!
I removed the front one for welding and it ended up distorting pretty bad. It was a PITA trying to install it. I thought this time I'd try something new, but I should've used a welding blanket. Live and learn!
Yeah it's a bummer there's not more aftermarket support for these trucks, but I predict that will change in the near future. Brute Force Fab also makes one fyi. Thanks for watching.
@@treehouseoffroad ty due to the hurricanes here in louisiana every year ive been setting up a 05 sequoia to deal with all the down trees and possible storm surge flood
Probably to get the best departure angle possible, hence the "high-clearance" part. I could see this being a deal breaker for some folks but I'm all in at this point so I'm cool with it. Thanks for watching

Yeah they are great kits! Very well thought out and they go together really easily!
Nice. Thank you!!
You got it man!
I tried looking for your front bumper build. I got a front bumper coming and I was hoping you had one.
I was not recording back then but if you find a 4runner video I'm sure they're very similar
Thanks for the tip on cutting those pieces to fill those gaps. Mine was exactly the same way so I was ready to take care of it after watching your video.
Glad to help, did you have to smash the bottom body corners in like me or no?
@@treehouseoffroad yes sir.
@@MidlifeAdventurer weird, I forget who it was but somebody told me they did not have to cut the corners

Wouldn't the plastic smoke and melt and make a mess though?

@@jamiethomas8975 Ohhhhh, the metal ones...🤦♂

Hey Finn did you use a flux core welder on this bumper build and your tire swingout?
Yessir

Thanks for the support man!

Looking Good
Hey thanks man, part 2 is almost ready
Thank you for the great video, especially sharing your F*&# ups. We're all learning together, much appreciated.
You're welcome! I appreciate seeing the f*&# ups on other peoples videos too
Is the bumper built in for a tow hitch?
It does have a hitch receiver yes
the front and rear bumper come in pieces? it doesn't come on complete ready to bolt?
Correct, they come unassembled

Great video! Love the intro
Thanks brother!
it is truly sad this the only offering out there for a rear bumper

@@treehouseoffroad they have a good front end model but id love to see more offerings for the rear
@@christianwolf68BFF makes a rear but you have to call to order it. ua-cam.com/video/IBhZTZBD-zA/v-deo.html

Very nice!
Thanks for watching man!
Turned out great.. nice work.
Appreciate it man thank you
Hey phin, nice channel. You'll have to show me how. Headed to harbor freight again today. Call you later.
Thanks Adam, Harbor Freight is my second home!
Do you happen to still have your stock bumper
Nope sold it
Sucks you had to cut original parts of the bumper, I feel it's lazy on the engineering by literally cutting corners.
