Rear Bumper

[toyotech559]

The CBI ones look really nice for the 1st/2nd-gens. I was trying to encourage one of the guys at work to get their front bumper kit.

yea the front bumper is nice but took to long for them to release one so i went with ARB. the rear one they sell is nice but if you look at the latest Toyota Owners Magazine, you can see another one they did and that was the one i wanted. much better clearance but they wont make me one unless i have my truck there

I should of had you do the wiring on my bumper.

What a Pain in the butt.

That is a serious bumper!, looks great too

I really like how the kit went together, I'm going to use the same bearing and clamp set up on the next carrier I build for my truck

Man that looks great. I need to start building one for mine. It's hard to find time for projects like these though.

Yeah, if you check the dates, I bought the bumper in August, had the shell assembled in October/November, then just got it completed last month. Thanks to Talon, again, for working with my crazy scheduling.

I hear he got his truck to pass smog, though!

Oh no problem, thanks for dealing with my crazy schedule as well, I'm glad I got to work on it. And yes it passed Tuesday before the meeting! Thanks for all your help on it.

Pardon my ignorance, but what kind of mounts are you using for your shovel?

It's "done"!

Talon got to keep it for a couple weeks and finished up the swingouts etc. He even added a few custom features I asked for.

This light I got from a coworker and had it set up to swing away for more than just a reverse light.

Trying to get a shot here of the custom setup for the Hi-Lift. The original design just called for welding its mount straight on to the tire carrier. Talon added a few pieces to get it in a better location.

I still need to take a picture of the cutouts for the recovery points, but here's what we have for the trailer connector (and the 4X4Labs logo).
