Building A Heavy Duty Off Road Bumper (Weld It Yourself DIY Kit) - Toyota Rock Crawler

Building a weld it yourself bumper kit for my Toyota Pickup rock crawler! This kit is from NWTI, Northwest Trail Innovations, and comes with all the pieces you need to build your own custom off-road front plate bumper for your 4x4 truck, as well as tube for the stinger and side braces, and huge 3/4" thick shackle mounts. We also install a frame reinforcement plate to support this bumper and if we ever use it as a recovery point or install a winch, since the factory frame is pretty weak right there. Finally I have full body armor!
Specs on the truck:
► 1988 Toyota Pickup
► 22RE and W56
► SAS with an 83 front axle, gussetted and trussed (straight axle swap)
► Chromoly 30 spline axles, longfields (front and rear)
► 5.29 gears, triple drilled flanges, etc
► Rear locker, yukon Grizzly: amzn.to/3upkBm6
► Dual transfer cases, 2.28 and 4.70
► 37x12.50x17 Cooper Discoverer STT PRO
► NWTI front bumper, Trail-Gear sliders, custom rear bumper
► Thick wall driveshafts
► 4" lift front and rear

    I like it, when I saw it was a kit I was surprised because it looks similar to my home built bumper. I built mine around my 8274 and custom cut every panel out of plate. Also I was just like you in that I wasn't a welder but I taught myself and literally built my entire rig without a single person helping me. That gives me a good amount of pride😎

    Great video. I’m leaning towards this bumper for my truck. Is there a reason you didn’t weld the shackle mounts to the front piece? Seems like they would be significantly stronger.

    id love to do this, but i don’t know how i’ll figure out the turn signal situation, i have a 88 4runner and i have separate bottom turn signals from the headlights on the stock bumper. Lmk if anyone knows how i’d fix that to still be legal.

    Not sure, it came on the truck and the mounting holes lined up perfectly so I assumed it came with it. Though, I have never seen another Toyota with one, so maybe?

    That is the nicest plate bumper I have seen yet for an older Toyota. I noticed you guys used a Hobart Mig welder. Was it 110 or 220V welder? Just curious what level of a mig welder is needed for the welding.

    That’s not entirely true, for non industrial fabrication some seams don’t need all the reinforcement. And welds are only as good as the material, no point in having quarter inch reinforcement on 3/16th plate.but I will agree he should have beveled the joints but he’s going for a smooth look
