What a legend no ads what so ever!
Wow its almost like the good ole days
He deserves for this video to be monetized.
@@jameslewis1179 true. but if it does then you will be seeing ads. unless you pay for premium like I do. I love it. no ads at all. unless its a paid promotion like some of the other youtubers do. He does a great job explaining what he is doin. I really like his style of videoing.
Me: Hmmmm... don't have a whole lot of experience with welding a bumper... Not sure if I can do this.
*sees kid helping his dad with the welding*
Me: Ok, maybe I can do this.
SuperStratoblaster you CAN DO THIS!!
It's totally doable
"I'm not a professional," then proceeds to make a perfect step by step tutorial...
jeff morrison thanks man. I appreciate that
I think he even did a better job than many so call professionals.
Good job overall but you put the joints together wrong hence the fitment issues and will result in a weaker finish. Should line up the inside edges of each peice not sit them on top. That way it creates a V to catch the weld and ensures sufficient penetration for both bits of parent material. It also removes the need to bevel peices for correct fitment
Man i was afraid this was going to take a super long time to complete. After watching this, i think I can get it done in one weekend with a bit of time to spare.
Wesley Ash you can!!!
Really nice job on this video! That bumper looks so good! Can’t wait to order one for my 4Runner eventually.
@JFOutdoors You are far the best how to video out there for the bumper kit!
I just bought 3rd Gen high clearance front and rear bumper kits for my 99 runner (still in boxes) off Facebook marketplace.
Everything was there except for the instruction manual print out lol
I’ve tried to reach out to coastal off road a few times but they haven’t answered me…
l Is there anyway you could help me out? keep up
the great content !😎
I just finished welding mine up and made a video as well. Let me know if I can help :)
Sorry I missed this! Thanks for the kind words
Thank you, this was super helpful. Now I know how much labor the body shop will charge me to install 🤣
It is SO easy
How do you not have more subscribers? This is some good quality and informational videos. You got a sub from me man
C lol ,
Thanks
My only complaint about the job you did is that long bolt that goes through the frame, you should have cut a small
Piece of tubing and tack weld it in place so that when you crank that bolt tight it can’t crush the frame rail. But at this point it’s probably not much of an issue.
I would also advise when welding plates like that together make sure there is a bevel Cut in, or that the plates are only touching at the inside corners, this will leave a valley to fill with weld, so when you grid it smooth it will still have enough weld to be strong. (Jody from welding tips and tricks has some great examples of what I’m talking about if you look for outside corner joint videos)
However this video is a year old and if it’s held up to abuse all this time it’s probably fine. More tips for future projects. Or for other people Looking to do a project like this.
cbchevy74 thanks for the feedback. I see you point on the tubing inside the frame rail. Makes sense. As for beveling the plates. I did for those that needed it and most of the edges lined up on the inside corners. Not to mention, I welded the outside and inside of the bumper
-39:40 Vibration on the air-conditioning line especially on the high side will leak refrigerant so you will need some sort of isolation in that HVAC line a heavy rubber grommet that can withstand the heat of the high side due to heat of compression
Thanks! I just ordered that kit, will be my first real welding project. Appreciate the little tips. Gives me more confidence as I jump in!
dintucson1234 heck ya! You’ll have fun!! Just remember. Take your time. Follow this video if you get stuck!
did you have any issues with shipping, parts, or customer service?
@@djrodriguez6582 these guys at coastal offroad are hard to get a hold of, email them and it takes about a week for a reply, FB might be the best, my kit arrived in a timely manner after about a 5 day wait to be shipped. I've emailed twice with questions and they do get back to you it just takes a few days.
How can I order those parts ? For my 3rd gen
looks good man! always wondered how well these went together.
Austin Brown very well!! I am a fan!! Thanks for the kind words 👊
About how many hours of welding and grinding the corners do you think you had into that? Nice work!
I appreciate your skill and effort. But I'm just going to pay the bit extra for a welded product. This is a great video though. If I had a garage I'd definitely try it out for myself. But my last move left me without a workspace and I traded my welder for an oven lol
I love the project. What brand is the welder? Now, you are giving me ideas.
Dave Tillette this is a titanium welder from harbor freight. I have used it a ton and been very happy! Go have fun!!!
Nice work, I welded up a set of skid plates from Coastal offroad last week and Am doing my bumper later today!
Kevin Black that’s awesome man!! I hope to do all the Coastal products in the near future!! Appreciate the kind words. Good luck!
Where at the led fog lights from and what are they called
I just built my bumper and was looking for some lights but I couldn’t find and budget friendly ones that fit
Im waiting for my coastal offroad bumper and im not willing to pay a guy $450 to assemble it, can you tell me what kind of welding you used?
angelomma 21 I bought a welder from harbor freight and did it myself!!
I know I’m late but I saw this in my feed and smiled very large thanks for helping my boring lunch break. Also awesome rig man can’t wait to go camping with my daughter.
Black Lavender I am glad you liked it! Thanks for the kinds words!
Can you send me the link for the turn signal lights. Looking up what you called them and I can’t find them or any other 2” round turn signals
So on number 4 and part number 5. I have four number 5 plates ? Do I stack up 2 on each side ?
Thomas Kindrick I guess you could. That’s not what my instructions said to do. But read yours!!! I know Coastal updates their product lines when they find ways to make them better. You can follow this video, step by step. But make sure you double check your instructions. Have fun !!!
Doing my bumper on my 03 Tacoma the front frame horns don’t look like your 4 runner and the holes don’t line up
Excellent documentation, Jearred. The only other advice I'd have is using a good respirator (like 3M quality) while spray painting and esp. clear coating. N99 filter for vapors and particulates is the best for this kind of work. Spray painting in an enclosed garage with no vapor ventilation going out is not good for your lungs.
Bob Kim couldn’t agree with you more!! I had the doors open and a fan going. Respirator would have been a good choice regardless!
Thanks for the kind words
Spot welds every 2 to 4 inches an
clearcoat on the raw steel would have been a cool look
How long did it take to weld?
I have 3 little boys and we've been talking about building our family a rig for overlanding. Of course they want to have a cool bumper and I really like the 3rd gen 4runners....well this solidifies it. We need a 3rd gen 4runner and we will have to get the bumper from Coastal Offroad. Awesome video and glad to see there are father's who teach their kids to use their hands!
Thank you!! Have fun!
was that the titanium 140? running off 110v? I'm wondering if I can weld the coastal offroad rear myself with my titanium 140.
Brett yes! I did all of it with that welder
Looks so good, inspiring me to pull the trigger on one.
What are those magnets you are using?
Welders magnets. Can be purchased in various sizes and strength. Great to have to hold pieces together when you inevitably run out of hands. Can get them most places, and harbor freight.
God dammit what do you live
So I can bring my 4Runner I'm serious I look good ????????
Bujar Shahini ha ha! Thanks
Thanks for the video man, I've been watching it while taking on this project and it has helped me finish welding today, pretty exciting. Going to start painting tomorrow and I wanted to ask for your advice first. I was originally planning on priming, painting, and clear coating with an air spray gun but I also like how your bumper turned out with truck bed coating. How is it holding up? And do you have to put any clear coat over for this application? Thanks again brotha
Anton Osnovich so glad this video was helpful!!!! It is holding up good. I would recommend using Raptor liner to coat it though. Far superior product then what I used!
@@jfoutdoors4337 Good to hear! Have you had to touch it up at all? And if you touch it up, do you have to repaint the whole bumper?
Anton Osnovich only one Spot, and I just sprayed the area a bit. All good
Great video! Very well explained. Do you have a body lift on your 4runner? I have a half inch body lift right now and I'm stuck between if I need to get their 1" body lift option or if I go without that option.
Spencer GALE thanks! I do not have a body lift. Didn’t need one personally
Just found your video while searching for the install of a "Coastal" bumper. Thanks for taking the time to put this together, it has some good info for those of us thinking of installing a bumper kit. Great video!
dr560 you bet!!! That was the purpose 👊
Hi my name Tommy can do can do bumper for my Nissan Titan heavy bumper
awesome job, glad i found your video, got a 1st gen tundra, i am mechanically inclined but never did welding. going to do this soon!
Do it!!! You can do it! I assure you!
Bro I’m a new follower of your channel , can you help me with the link of these guys so I can order this steel bumper for my 3rd gen honestly I’m a beginner with this off road stuff so I’ll appreciate that help
www.coastaloffroad.com/
Great vid, but ditch the background music
Hey man! Thanks for the instruction, any possible chance you could provide links to the pod lights and the turn signal lights? Having some trouble finding the turn signals. Thanks!
Kevin Gharavi I have bad service at the moment. Look through the comments. I’ve posted them multiple times
Im in the process of building one of these and the bumper mounting location vs the winch mount location looks a little sketchy. Have you winched with this bumper yet?
I never did no. But I have observed others use their bumpers with a winch with zero issues.
Nice well explained video! I know it was 4 years ago but if you can remember roughly how many hours did it take to complete?
Oh I don't know. With filming 8 or so. I could do it now in under 4 start to finish I bet
What kind of welder is that? Im a welding novice, have welded before but got the bumper all excited and then realised I forgot to buy the welder :D
Titanium from harbor freight. Has been flawless
Wow your son is super helpful, I loved working on Vehicles with my dad as well
Does a winch fit in there or do you need to cut the grille? Looks really tight!
john mikrut yes it fits. You do need to cut a small section out of the bottom of the grill. However, looks and fits awesome
Great video, im going to attempt one for my 5th gen TRD Pro after watching you. Thanks
Jimmy Bastone awesome!! You can do this!! Weld the outside well! Then stitch weld inside. Weld heavy in the center to ensure good core strength
Awesome job man. Definitely on the fence and this makes me want to get it now. Also looking at getting the hobart 140 too.
Aaronjay Ponce do it!!
Awesome video, but how did all your plastic headlight and grille do with all that welding? Ouch!
Okay, you convinced me. 2005 GX 470.
I am struggling trying to replace the OEM bolts that the previous owner removed from the frame rail , did you happen to take pics or have any dimensions of the bolts used .
the longer bolt that you drill the hole for I have found thanks to your help on the video but the others I'm not sure about.
They are M10-1.25
Are you in RENO dude??? Saw the Nevada plates on the car.. I'll pay you to do mine!!
Sales North America nah man. I am in Elko! Bring that thing over! Anything is possible 👊
Sales North America thanks man. I feel you!
Did this project come with bolts? or did you have to buy your own? thanks
Benjamyn Bradley you have to get your own bolts. The instructions are clear about what you need. I wish that the kit came with the bolts though!
Extremely well done bro, how's it holding up now a year later? Wondered if ya considered having it powder coated?
Raging_Rhino doing great! Love it! I didn’t want to powder coat because touch up is far easier this way
Killer Sorento
Got myself the 2017 3.3 v6 AWD Sorento in white.
I want to fit skinny 33in tires...or 35s
I’m watching this video because I’m trying to build up my Sorento to a medium duty
overland/prerunner. And most likely have to get my suspension redesigned and custom Fabricated.
What would you do if you were to modify your Sorento?
Great video!
😍😍
Dumb question how did you get the bolts that you welded together to keep the bumper on the car off after to weld up the bumper
it bolts up in existing mounting locations. Can easily be removed as needed.
how long it will take to build the bumper from the factory pieces please?
Dapeng Hsu start to finish, with no interruptions. I could have done it in 4-5 hours
@@jfoutdoors4337 thank you
I just got the same bumper! Do you have a link for those turn signal lights?
Yes sir! I actually made this my running lights and added an amber LED to my corner marker lights for my blinker
Grote 45063 Yellow 2" Clearance... www.amazon.com/dp/B000NDD8SU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Nice video, i am stipl watching it, question were u using the hobart 140? Of so what were your settings on your machine? Because i have the same welder. And was it flux core? Thanks! Happy new year
ZER0o10 I was using a titanium welder from harbor freight with flux core. I don’t recall what settings. Other then I started as per recommendations and then added a little more amps
@@jfoutdoors4337 awesome man, thanks for replying! I am going to buy the kit for my 02 tacoma, i hope it turns out like yours lol hah good job
ZER0o10 it will! Just take your time! Weld the main support structure everywhere! You’ll be good!
@@jfoutdoors4337 will do! Thanks!
Thanks for the step by step, the instructions for this kit are still not all that great although the finished product is, without your video it would have taken me much longer to assemble.
Are those pod lights you installed 2” or 3”? Finally pulled the trigger after a year on getting this bumper lol.
hey man i really want to do this but i want to ask first.. hows that harbor freight welder holding up? Also what are some other must-have tools you'd recommend to tackle this? i wanna do this exact front bumper and the rear swing out bumper and sliders from coastal. THANKS!
hey! i was wondering how you like the overall quality and durability of this thing after a bit of use, please let me know since i want to get one
I am very happy 😃
One question. How much wire did this take.? Will a 2 lb roll be sufficient. If not I’ll get a 10
So how is it holding up after 3 years? Anything different that you would do?
I sold it to a pastor friend of mine. Holding up great however! I wouldn't do anything differently
Hey good job man! I have a Hobart flux core 120. Would this do the job?
Matt Compton I think it will. That’s what I used. Go slow. Weld both sides and you’ll be set! Tell the guys at Coastal I sent you !!
Looks good. Shoulda had it powder coated instead of spray paint hahaha
Alec Burnett it’s holding up great. The Berliner was the perfect touch
good , it doesn't seem like a lot of weight to you
Do you mind sharing the exact unit you bought. On their website there seems to be body type, body lift, and other specific details they require from each truck in order to fulfill the order.
Hi how much was the total pay for this accessory in coastaloffroad.com when it enters the page I'm confused thanks
UNITED MAC huh? It is really easy. Pick your choices
hey, How did u install the fog lights? And did you connect your two circle lights on the bumper to the turn signal wires?
Vishwaajeeth Kamalakkannan I connected the fog lights to the factory wires and switch. The circle lights I actually switched with the corner lights. So these small lights are running lights and the corner marker lights are now blinkers
@@jfoutdoors4337 how did you swticu it to blinkers? I have a 05 so my blinkers are already down there, will I be fine just connecting the wiring striaght to those wires?
Vishwaajeeth Kamalakkannan yup, just simple switched the wires man. Easy
White bumper could've been seeeick
How long did it take you? Appreciate this video, I'm putting one together today.
*Excellent work 🤗*
90 magnets on inside of a 90... not outside.
That project turned out very good. Was unfortunately i couldn't get one for my 1997 pajero from their sight 😔
Good job man and thank you for sharing. Did you weld from both sides or just the front?
Terry Giovanakis both sides for sure. I welded the entire front and grinded smooth. On the inside I did like 1-3” long welds and then skipped a space and did it again.
Will the Forney Easy weld fc-i 140 get the job done on this project?
Watched this again since I’m thinking about ordering this bumper soon.
Any chance you have a link to the blinkers and fog lights you used?
Jason Bohac they are linked in the comments a few times bud 👍
Ok cool. I looked in the video description first and skimmed the comments. I’ll read thru them again.

Wth I didn’t know you have to weld it yourself I guess I’ll just have to got he arb route
Awesome video! I will be building my frontier bumper from them in a few weeks!
D-rail Fpv have fun! And thank you 🙏
Great video, love the content man! Not sure if this has been addressed in any other videos but what welder is that and roughly how much was it?
Daniel Kerr it is a titanium from harbor freight. It ran about $400
what lift did you have here bro?
I just grabbed their updated version of the front high clearance closed top and rear with dual swingouts. updated ver now comes pre-bent for the whole front facia of the bumpers, both front, and rear. should shave off some fab time. I cant wait to get my welding done and have them on. thanks for the great vid matey (wheeler from the Rockies of Super Natural British Columbia)
AWESOME!!
Great video. I’m gonna watch this while doing mine. If I got a cheaper welding kit would it work? There’s one called “Harbor Freight” and it’s $140 and I was thinking about getting that one.
probably but if you can find a used hobart welder for a bit more I'd go that route, I picked up a 140a Hobart for 225 about 6 years ago and it still functions like new and it's about 20 years old. Get good wire (Lincoln NR-211-MP or Radnor E71T-11 or any E71T-11) and clean all the metal good
they could massively improve their kit with some added tabs and slots, would eliminate "lining up" the parts.
skudwoofer I could see that. In particular in a few places. However, I’d say this is truly a level 4 out of 10 project
nice work bro! lookin' tough that 4runner of yours!
Home Land Thank you
Where can I find those handy dandy magnets sir?
harbor freight
Do coastal off roads instructions they send you specify what to run your welder at? Could be a dumb question but I’m only one year into my welding program at the local college and not sure where my abilities lie with a project like this. Thanks in advance!
Grant Baker instructions yes. Your welder will show you what settings to use based on metal thickness!!
What size tires do you have on your 4 runner 265/75r16?
hey whats up Jearred, what tire size you running on the stock rims? I have the same rims btw.
C mac 265/75/16’s
@@jfoutdoors4337 thanks man. like your 4runner build. got a new subscriber!
C mac thanks a bunch!!
What pants are those?
Thanks for getting back to me before re the Titanium 140 welder and the wire you used. That’s just a regular house circuit you’re using right? What amp breaker are you running that off ?
Bentley Coaching yup, just regular. No problem. 20A circuit
Thank you. That helps a LOT
What welder did you use? I see a hobart off to your side but what model.
This video is rad. Much appreciated. I will be following your footsteps in a couple weeks on my 4th gen.
finding this video a year after it was posted, did you use a flux core welder or or a gas setup?
Matt Robinson I used flux core. Worked awesome! Little more clean up is all 👊
@@jfoutdoors4337 sweet, Im going to pull the trigger for my 5th gen 4runner, this is by far the most fun way to get a bumper for the car, and they look damn good! did you solid bead the exterior and grind them down?
Matt Robinson yes I did. And even stitch welds on the inside of the bumper. Paying special attention to stress points. I probably welded for more then I needed too. Lol
Have fun!
How’s your condenser and radiator. Did you need to replace it those sparks are hit enough to go straight through a tube 🤣 I’ve done it before
Alec Burnett nope! All good!
Dang you killed man it looks really good. I’m searching for a winch bumper to have any plans to mount one ? If so How much grill you think you will have to cut ?
King Kong thanks!! Save your self the trouble and get a coastal!
That was awesome. What kind of welder do you have?
Do the Led signal lights work normal without doing any other work
I recently welded a Coastal Offroad front bumper for a 5th generation for a freind. I did not tack it in place as the directions state. There was some minor trimming required on the inside part of the fenders. Basically some small cuts with an angle grinder. Other than that the bumper fit great.
betoesca71 nice! I had no trimming needed
Just received the bumper. Did all your reports come together wrapped up? Or in different packages?
Where can I order one of this steel bumper bro ?
