The level of detail here is impressive man.

I love how the hardware is divided into individual kits labeled for each step. Also, the video instructions seem excellent. Are you paying attention, Expedition One and Demello Offroad? This is how it's done.

I had the pleasure of seeing this bumper yesterday, simply amazing! Work of art, yet amazingly sturdy with High Lift access points. I watched the install video just now, best install video, period!

Really appreciate it man!

By far, the best looking bumper out right now!

The best start to finish demo,I’ve come across. That bumper is insane.

Beautiful bumper, looks well designed. Your video quality is top notch, thank you for taking the time to make it with such detail. Cheers

Great Looking bumper. Very well thought out! Really looking forward to when ordering opens up again.

this video is so well made that I watched it completely although I don't have a FJ Cruiser, nor a offroad vehicle.

Wow! What an amazing looking product. Can't wait to order mine as soon as the reservation status opens!

Thank you for this install video! I just bought an FJ and this bumper is exactly what I'm looking for.

Love the design and consideration that went into this design. It looks SO GOOD!

I appreciate that this is not just 1080p but a high enough bit rate to look good. I hate low bitrate videos. here's your like and sub. heck it looks so good I might get an FJ

I don’t even own an FJ but I sat through this whole video! lol very well done. I wish all install videos were done this well.

That’s it… I gotta find an FJ to buy now. That front bumper looks so good and functional

Seriously, one of the best how-to videos I have seen.

Definitely a well engineered piece of art

I just received mine. I can’t wait for the coating to be finished so I can install it. This was the only bumper that met both structural requirements and has a classic cruiser look. My hat’s off to Kai and team at Tinkerer Design 💪🏻💪🏻

Thank you!

I must say that is one nicely thought out bumper kit and install. You need to make one for Tacomas ( 2nd gens )

Such a sick FJ

Beautiful and functional design!!

If I could I would buy it. The best bumper I have seen for the FJ. 👍🏻

You are on top of it. Regardless of what this kit costs I have found most don't mind paying whatever to get as near perfection as possible. Yes it's just a bumper but when off-road they are about as important as equipment gets.

This is insane! Well done!

I don't even own a Toyota but have learned so much from your channel. BTW, one of the best installtion/how-to videos on YT!

Seriously legit how-to video. Well done.

Great job. Clear and concise.

That actually a REALLY nice bumper!

I wish you guys make one for the Tacomas too. I love your guys' design. If you make this bumper for the Tacoma, I will purchase this in a heartbeat.

Such amazing detail

Wow 😮 awesome installation video and what awesome designed rugged and strong 💪 even tho I’m sure I can’t afford one this was a very interesting video

Awesome video! Luv the bumper!!

by far the best looking bumper i can not wait to get one,

I just learned that tinkerer is in PA! 🤯

I love it I will definitely get these for my FJ

I love it 😍 it’s just out my league with the shipping

Lucky you have one, I hope they make a new FJ or make a drastic redesign of the 4runner soon.

Really nicd work. I like the design.

Love the video... excellent 👍

Well done 🔥

wow, dont own an Fj, but this bumper looks amazing!

That thing is so badass

You make me want a FJ now.

Hi from Puerto Rico, Good work, I want to see more information about long travel suspension and comparison between OEM

I'm a little late to the video. Awesome content by the way. Did you ever complete the follow up video about the design features and engineering behind this bumper? I would love to see that!

Sweeeeeeeet Bumper!!! Are you planning to do one for the GX 470?

What are the 7 inch amber round lights? 🤔

Sick 😻

Badass!

I really like the design of your FJ bumper, can you design one for 2022 Gx 460?

What brand are those round laser lights on your new bumper? Thanks.

That bumper is just so sexy

What round off-road lights are those? 7” or 9”, and are they Auxbeam? I just ordered this bumper, and I’m planning on replicating exactly what you’ve done- it’s perfect!

Guys what do call that type of fender flare? it's so unique and clean looking.

If I were to buy an fj cruiser, if I were to get into off roading, if I were buy a front bumper... this is what I would buy.

When are you coming out with more bumpers Man 😢😢

Any plans on making one for the gx470?

I like your bumper structure design, the reinforcement brackets look stronger the ARB bumper, how your bumpers react to the air bag deploy timing?

Thanks! Great question. Unfortunately like most US based companies, I do not have the resources to lab test the crash rate yet. But it is something I want to get to. The 2 large boxes structure which the shell bolts onto are my designed crumble features, which are independent from load bearing recovery features. I tried my best to match the factory crash rate by analysis/simulation. But physical lab testing must be eventually conducted to provide a definitive answer.

what’s the brand of those front fender liners? they look awesome

Man.....Its too bad you arent a Tacoma guy. Id watch constantly, lol

Wow. Awesome bumper and Incredible install video!!! Do you think this bumper would fit a 4th gen 4runner??

Thank you! I would love to get to the 5th gen. Maybe around the end of this year.

Love your new design it should be a great success! I only have 1 critique I guess. I would of had a plug in male to female with a side port for the led lights. That way all you would do is disconnect plugins plug in adapter and have the led plugs have a female end to just plug right into it. This would eliminate all the snap T's or junctions. But other than that I really do like your new set up and will be checking it out a little more. Oh one question. Why not use large washer on all 5 bolts when mounting it to the frame?

@TinkerersAdventure

@@TinkerersAdventure the 5 vertical bolts that mount to the frame when looking how you bolted it down between the frame and the bumper you installed 2 washer 1 on top 1 on bottom but left out the 3 in the middle. When bolting it down ya want al frame to snug tightto the bumper without a gap. It might just be me but it might be something to look at.

@TinkerersAdventure

@@DA-pj3or you got the right idea. the middle 3 did not get washers because they sandwich the frame horn. The top and bottom washers are the same thickness as the frame horn. All 5 bolts clamp down to the same thickness and achieve the proper bolt pretention.

Hi, Great Bumper design... Question, how usable / strong are the front factory tie down points on the FJ and are they safe enough to recover from? Thanks for your thoughts : )

@TinkerersAdventure

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Those have been debated over the forums. Toyota demonstrated dynamic recovery using those tie down points in their FJ Trail Team video series. So it can definitely take light duty recovery. Think light duty enough that Toyota is willing to film it as official videos. From my analysis, the loops themselves and their through welds are more than strong enough (some earlier toyota models have much smaller loops in this area so some people are mixing these up). But the dropped down radiator support cross member is not strong enough. With enough force one can buckle and bend that cross member. This is why my frame reinforcement brackets bridge this cross member to further back of the frame rail.

@snowyboyq6346

2 жыл бұрын

@@TinkerersAdventure Thanks for your reply - that makes good sense. I have seen comments about the hooks themselves being strong but I hadn't fully considered the strength of the cross member that they are attached to. I appreciate your advice and I will look at installing a frame reinforcement bracket : )
