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

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!! 🍻

I hope the previous owner is watching this amazing transformation. Great job.

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....

Yes indeed!

"Its like a lack of tools and a lack of skill" love the honesty lol👍

These are the kinds of DIY videos I'm here for. Great filming, editing, honesty and goal. Love it.

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

I really like how you persisted through anything. Great Job....!

Dude the sand in the tube and bending cracked me up. Only because I literally do something like this every time I work on my truck.

“We’re broke out here” boy, I don’t think you know what broke means with a badass truck like that😂 love the channel my man!! The build has come a long way🤙🏼

That exhaust tip is 10 extra horsepower! The bumper looks great! Well done!

Ha thanks!

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

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.

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 I am really impressed by your knowledge and skills! love the taco and how far its come

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!

Boy don't sell yourself short my friend. Your extremely talented. I like your creations better than any of the store bought crap.

Love seeing how far your Taco has come along since the first video u did🔥

The random ollie is gold

You never grow unless you make mistakes. Great job man, looks great! I can’t even do all that myself.

Perfect diy video man. You simplified it for us. Came out 👍

Damn, I've loved watching the transformation of this Taco. Can't wait until the next video!

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.

Man I remember you! You did engine swap since it was blown. Incredible work!!!!

Thank you! That’s me.

this bumper came out super slick even if you didn’t 100% like the bending! Absolutely in LOVE with that soft topper look! Great job!

Dude that’s awesome for real that turned out sick!

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 think this turned out awesome, definitely helps set off the look

I dont normally hit the bell on youtube, but I LOVE these videos man. Gets me excited for the latest vids. keep it up!

My boy pimpin wit the Tacoma, keep making great videos homie💯🔥

Wow. Envious and inspired by your work here. Thank you for sharing all the challenges as well!

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

Love it man nice work

This truck was such a good investment for your channel. Been awesome watching the progress.

Very enjoyable man!!! Keep on Truckin!!!

“Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t”😂😂😂

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.

looks awesome, good job

Good job Mike!

There’s some beautiful camping spots/offroad trails along the Middle Fork Feather River up near Oroville California…Milsap Bar Road or Quincy La Porte Road.

Love the kick flip and beer on the side. Nice work!

Once again, fantastic work. Truck is looking awesome, bonus love for the soft topper, I need one of those

I come for the lesson and stay for the entertainment! Love this channel!!

Awesome man! Just awesome!

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!

Hell yeah! Keep ‘em coming

Let me know if you make it over to Ouray, I’ll load up and head out to meet you. Absolutely enjoy watching the build process of your truck!

Awesome video man ! Can’t wait for the next one !

Another kick ass video man! Your amazing

This has been a cool build series.

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.

Bro you have done one hell of a job. So badass!!!!
