Toyota Tacoma DIY Tube Bumpers And Sliders. Ultimate Toyota Tacoma Build Episode 8

  • Let's build some bumpers and sliders!
    These Toyota Tacoma's have two big followings, over landers and rock crawlers. Flat box shapes make a lot of sense on an overlanding rig but in my opinion if you want your taco to look like a crawler you need tube.
    Today we are breaking out the bender and the welder to give this truck some character. All this work had to be completed in about 3 days and as the paint is curing, we are heading to Johnson Valley California!
    Unfortunately I had a memory card failure in this video but you still get to see overwhelming majority of the process. Thank you for watching! See you at KOH!

    Tell ya what man..... I LOVE your videos. As soon as I see you've dropped a new one, I put it in my playlist for watching later in the evening (while I'm relaxing sipping an adult beverage). To be honest, I wish your videos were longer as they've got such good quality content. The best part, is you're not just bolting on over the counter parts, you're MAKING them. Not many other channels do that. The best BEST part, you're not a douchebag with a bad sense of comedy doing stupid things thinking it's funny or entertaining. Rock on man, hope to meet you someday. Cheers from Missouri.

    You will be amazed at the difference after the tune. I had a 2008 model for 14 1/2 years then got a 2020 model. Always told my friends I would pay someone $1K to give me my old engine and transmission back. Got the KD MAX tune, got my performance back for only $300!

    You are a true craftsman, innovator & take pride in your work. I built a Gen 2 Tacoma Pre-runner & a 1987 4x4, IFS, Class 2000, MORE desert race truck & have the utmost respect for your skills & talent. You’re a 10+ and out class all the other wanna be’s. I’ll be out at KOH for my 10th in a row & pitting for the 4664 rig. See you out there.

    I hope you get a chance to meet up with Paul from FabRats. You two seem to be some of the best folks and have probably THEE best fab channels. He's supposed to be at King of the Hammers as well with his old/new FJ crawler. It would be cool for you two to interview each other. Paul's so humble, though, that it might be hard to get him to talk. But he loves family as well and, along with your love for fabrication, you have that in common as well.
    I also love that you haven't just focused on the Jeeps. You have quite the quiver of vehicles in your garage. It's also awesome that you bring in the pros when you need.

    I'm not a newbie I've been a mechanic for about 35 years I'm retired now I used to do a lot of off-roading when I was a kid but basically it was taking a stock truck slapping some big tires on it and going out to playing breaking a lot of stuff. Now that I'm a bit older and I finally bought my dream truck I've got a little well not a little a lot of inspiration from your channel I like the way you work I like the way you explain things and I've been a subscriber for over a year I found your channel accidentally I actually first saw you with somebody else I can't remember what channel it was but I want to say I got a lot of respect for you I love the stuff you build the Tacoma build is really cool but I'd like to see you get back to the Jeep. I want to see the updated diesel and this new transmission you're talking about I just really like that machine thank you again for your videos and how much information they pack look forward to seeing much much more from you

Your wife is a saint though, my bride would not let me do anything like that to our ‘21 JT and it has 12k on it - lol!
