This has been a epic journey over the past few months I don't think many garages would be able to pull something like this but this man is doing all the work himself
Most important.... You're brave enough to try, and you learn from experience. The nice thing is that if you hate it, you buy more steel and do it again. Nice job....
Love the content, I bought a 2007 fj cruiser at a salvage auction with front end damage and I'm building it in a similar theme, cheap and built in my garage lol. So I love seeing someone else on this fun journey of D.I.Y. Keep up the great content, and keep up the awesome beer shots.
Mike, this has been awesome to see how much dedication you put into the Taco! Honestly, if I saw this on the road, I wouldn’t have any clue you did your front/rear bumpers, and the rock sliders yourself man. It’s overall pretty seamless! So legit
Awesome job! You will look back at this time in your life when you are older and come to realize that it will be the best time of your life. Amazing transformation.
I personally like the simple style that you choose to design for that bumper man! And hey it’s a story to remember that bumper even more! Don’t beat yourself up! Goal accomplished!
I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning! Love the videos man. I’m 21 almost and have a 2nd gen taco and you’re inspiring me to try to do some of the work myself
A couple weeks ago I ended up binge watching all of your videos and haven’t stopped since. With all the knowledge and info you give out there, your channels bound to blow up soon. You should come out to the Pure 4x4 base camp trip out in the Tahoe area may 13th! Would love to see this rig
I can relate to the frustration that comes with teaching yourself how to do something new with no guidance from anyone with experience. Perseverance and deep breathing kind of helps! Lol Great job, I've enjoyed watching the progress on your truck.
I really enjoyed watching you build this rear bumper and liked how you just went for it and made it work, also great edit you are hilarious keep it up truck looks nice !!!!
Yeah man, can’t hate on this build… I like how your design instinct has carried from the front bumper through the sliders into the rear, good stuff. Oh and you can catch some good camping and off-roading at Pismo Beach on the Central Coast here in Cali.
I’ve been following since the initial clean up of all the shit in the interior! Great progress on the build bro. Need to get you some sponsors so you can get some funding coming in!
Pick up some rubber edge guard trim to put on the cut box side. Cleans it up a lot. I used this when doing a viper cut on my truck. Sick bumper Mike! If I had the skills I would build one for myself!

I totally agree. I love these updates and DIY mods. It makes me want to start welding.
This has quickly become my favorite Taco build on all of youtube!!! Love the videos brother, keep em up!! 🍻

Yes indeed!
I hope the previous owner is watching this amazing transformation. Great job.
These are the kinds of DIY videos I'm here for. Great filming, editing, honesty and goal. Love it.
I've thoroughly enjoyed all your videos on this truck, but I think this one was my favorite. So awesome. Thank you for the great video.

Goes without saying, an epic video with the Taco at Yosemite! Make me want to build a truck my man, love the content.

Great video. You’re small issues let other folks know what to watch out for. We’re all learning!
Absolutely, learning along the way
I’ve been following since the initial clean up of all the shit in the interior! Great progress on the build bro. Need to get you some sponsors so you can get some funding coming in!
Still killing it. 😜
This is an awesome build. Come up to Mt. Shasta! Tons of mountain lakes to camp at and Wheeling!
I love the ending
The random ollie is gold
That exhaust tip is 10 extra horsepower! The bumper looks great! Well done!
Ha thanks!
Nice bumper!!
Pick up some rubber edge guard trim to put on the cut box side. Cleans it up a lot. I used this when doing a viper cut on my truck.
Sick bumper Mike! If I had the skills I would build one for myself!
Thank you!
Looks fucking great! I love your videos. Especially the zzzt zzzt zzzt of welding and then a pssshhh of a beer opening! Lol
Been wanting a bumper like that for so long for my Tacoma, might need to pick one up after watching this vid
Hell I wouldn't mind having a bumper that nice to replace my rotted out bumper on my Tacoma, keep up the good work !
