Builds 2018 GCC Spec 79 Series 1HD-FTE + H152 - The Camel

[SNLC]

Why does the bumper not bolt right on?

Bro, this is an 80-series chassis, this bumper is made for a 79-series chassis.

Our build is a 79-series body on an 80-series chassis (frame) custom fab is required.

@SNLC were you able to use those impact absorber parts? It's interesting that toyota go to so much effort to make them, ARBs bumper for the 79 has no such things.

It looks like yes we can fit them. They bolt on and we have retained the parts of the frame horns they bolt to. It is different than any crumple zone stuff I have seen before.

More pics of the bumper fab and fitment. We have been focusing on getting this done. It needs to get done but we also don’t want this bumper laying around. Best place for it with our limited space is on the Cruiser.

It is taking a lot of fab to fit, we are building this winch cradle that has the frame horn mounts built into it as well. Ya know the 80 and 79 frames are different widths and on top of that we have custom fit the body on to chassis. It is coming around though and we are building it so you can still use shims to align the bumper to the body.

John has this 12klbs ComeUp winch here from his last build. So we want to use it on the 79.

There is a quick connect built into the bumper for your hand controller. Although the winch will have in cab controls too.

Main tank work today.

More done but that’s the pic I got. Due to frames (79 vs 80) the factory 79 series tank needs to be modified to fit.

Big shout out to Chris, man I really appreciate this guy and his work!

Chris is a porn star and you are lucky to have that man.

This truck is going to have some serious range.

I haven’t had my usual 2 cups of morning coffee, so I misread that as “rage“.
