18:17 Pro tip... when welding D ring hangers to a bumper make sure you place then directly in line with the frame of the vehicle. If possible, weld them to the same runer that atatches the whole thing to the frame. Now, Ideally you would seld them directly to the frame tips (with frame extension or using any method) and have them independent of the bumper. But what you did is actually quite good

Awesome video as usual. Quick tip, when cutting the slots for the clevis mounts you can drill a hole at each end of the slot and then connect the outer edges of the holes with the cut-off wheel. Might make it a bit easier. Sweet video and thanks for all the budget how-to info you've been putting out!

Hey mate, just tune your wire speed a bit more, till it welds smooth

I agree on the wire feed speed being low.

Thats a man after my heart. I have many Pelican coolers, and three Forney welders, and a plasma cutter. If a Yeti owner ever uses a Pelican they will burn their Yetis.

The reinforced collar around the receiver is meant to face backwards. It keeps the hitch from wallowing out or ripping the tubing from side loads from a trailer.

Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed this. Had to go look at my truck to be sure.

I made a living welding. And you did a fine job young man.

Love the bumper. One thing we use to do with our 3" round bumpers was to drill a hole on the backside and add a tire valve stem. Next, we would drill another hole, tap it and add an air hose quick connect fitting. Fill it full of air and check for leaks. Now you have an air tank at your disposal while in the woods.

Awesome resourcefulness using what you have. Love the angles and explanation all the way through. Very useful for people trying to replicate the same setup. Keep the great content coming!

I just built a bumper like this last weekend you should cut and recess your receiver tube into your bumper it'll be way stronger and you'll have improved ground clearance anytime you can weld on all four sides it's going to be stronger than just holding onto side like you did and it looks cleaner also that thick flange on the front of the receiver tube is designed so you don't rip the front of the tube when you exert a sideload on the tube. On that bent up flat stock you use as a gusset for your hitch would be cool if you cut some holes in it to be for your Breakaway chain hook if you ever tow a trailer

Just watched your video. Nice job for a immature fabricator. Only problem I see is you welded the receiver tube in backwards, but you know that! Great job!😂 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

i love that you leave everything in to explain step by step

That came out looking fantastic. Love the thought process as you went through the build. Thinking through your different options on how to make it different or better. Very nice work

I don't have a Tacoma, I have a Dakota 4x4, but I am still following your channel for ideas. My brackets will have to be of a different design, but the gist is there for making a similar bumper for my own truck. I am also going to incorporate this style for a minimalist front bumper, just beefy enough for a hitch and some brush guards. Thanks for the simple instructions and ideas.

Great video, I've just finished building my double swingout rear bumper for my 1994 triple-locked FJZ80 and it is pretty similar build, the only difference is that my bumper attached to the shackles brackets that run all the way inside the chassis, and go through the actual bumper. prices are right around what you mentioned, try selling your old OEM bumper, I sold my OEM tow hitch and bumper for 280$.. and I covered the price of most of the steel. swingouts spindles are also welded through the bumper and welded from the bottom and from the inside of the rail(bumper) and after welding everything up, I welded the ends. super strong with minimum movement if any (with a 35-inch wheel and tire, and a 3 jerrycan on the other side. Great videos.

Just some helpful information when building stuff like this go to home depot or Lowes and buy a roll or ram board I think its $18 for 50' it makes the best templates and you can fold it and it will holds bends like metal there are some good videos on KZread about using it for making templates.

Great project-thanks for sharing. With a couple of air fittings that tube bumper can be a nice air compressor storage tank to reduce fill times-assuming your welds are air tight. Moisture drain valve may be needed. I noticed the air line under the truck-maybe you’re already planning on this?

Outstanding work!

Thus cut file is going to be super helpful. I appreciate you!

@@OverlandUnderBudget Hey dude, I dig the bumper. Just asking cause I'd love a set, would you ever consider making the mounting brackets for the 1st gen 4runners?

Those mounting brackets would be a life saver, to more then just me. Thanks for reading, please let me know if your interested.

Good job Sir. I enjoy your I can do that attitude. Just a suggestion though maybe next gen use boxed gussets instead of the strap for the tow hitch. It would be less metal and give you more welds between the tube and the hitch 12 welds vs 8 for your strap plus more support laterally than the strap . Please this is just a suggestion from an old structural fabricator..

Great video

Nice job, mate

You need some safety chain slots on your hitch strap. Looks great.

Nice build, but welding those 1in thick clevis mounts with a 110v welder is pretty sketchy. I would have at the very least pre-heated the clevis mounts with a torch (even a little $15 propane torch would do) up as hot as I could get it just to help with penetration. The I would have probably done another 2 or 3 passes over that first bead. Those clevis mounts might be the only thing saving your rig or your life. And you definitely don't want to be around when a winch snaps one off your bumper with 9000 pounds of force. It is worth it to overbuild. I would have also put them directly in-line with, and tied to, the frame mounts. Other than that, it is really not difficult at all to add a 220v outlet to your breaker box, assuming it has room for the breaker. It's what I did. And luckily for me, my breaker box was on the outside of my garage wall so all I had to do was punch a small hole through the back of the breaker box and into the garage. Ran less than a foot of 4 gauge wire to a 220 outlet, then mounted it to the wall right over the hole. You can't even tell it didn't come with the house and only cost like $50 total. You really don't want your hitch receiver backwards. That little support rim around the front is there for a reason. It prevents the mouth of the receiver from being pried open by heavy lateral and vertical forces on the hitch, or from being crushed closed by hard rock impacts.

steel prices are crazy high. get it while you can. Only gonna go up in price.

great job, congrats

Hey man, amazing video. I love that you're doing this with low-cost tools. I have a similar setup. I read through a lot of comments but didn't see it mentioned but, what about the license plate light? I don't know about CA but I'm pretty sure you need a light on the plate. It's a pretty easy add-on but I didn't see it in the video.
