Awesome job! This is the kind of content I appreciate, honest, simple, DIY…good job! Picked up a ‘99 Taco for my son, gonna show this to him so he see what’s possible!
First you have a great truck i had one second i like how you’re fabricating everything yourself and not like other guys who spend thousands and you made it yourself.
Nice build Mike, love the step by step! Only two things I'd add are a second catch to lock it open so it doesn't smack the tailgate, and some flush mount LED reversing pods?
Just got my Amazon plasma cutter. I have a couple projects to clear out of the que. Then ima start fabbing on the Taco as well! Great job on the tire carrier.
Man I love this! I’m not a great welder or fabricator but I’m going to use this as a how to and try and make one for my Tacoma this winter. Also love those wheels. I have the same ones but in black.
What about the frame? I'm wondering on weak parts on the frame that could use plating, re-enforcement. Maybe a boxed cross member. Live in rust/snow area too. Any ideas of frame reinforcement?
Very cool, I am inspired. So why have the tire on the right? Seems like it blocks the visibility compared to putting it behind the driver on the left. Seems like the right is a popular choice, curious if you had a reason for that?
Hey, where did you get the square tubes from? I'm looking into making a swing out on my Tacoma, but I'm going to incorporate the stock bumper to make it as minimal as possible.
Video came out just in time for me to watch while eating dinner 😎
Most relatable comment 😂
Love the true DIY build style. Makes me want to try my hand at welding real bad!
It's great to see your ideas come to life using your own hands. Keep it up.
hell ya turned out great. I love clean simple design. Welds look FIRE
Dude this turned out awesome! Been loving watching the Tacoma build progress man! Keep it up 🤘🏽
Thank you bro!
Finally! A diy bumper that doesn’t require a shop worth of tools. Thanks I will be trying this on my 3rd gen 4 runner
Mike upload more please. This is still the only 4x4 content I look forward to watching
I get so fired up every time you drop a vid. great work as always.
That 6.0 is a beauty, you should make some content on those Super Duty's
You’re not the first to say it! I think I will!
The best part it’s “you did it yourself” you should feel proud of yourself. 👍🏼
I'm not a welder but your welds are looking good! Bumper looks wicked.
Awesome job! This is the kind of content I appreciate, honest, simple, DIY…good job! Picked up a ‘99 Taco for my son, gonna show this to him so he see what’s possible!
Great truck for him! Thanks for checking out the vid!
I love when you instantly regret your decision and verbally bad mouth yourself at 5:55. I laughed VERY out loud.
Great video and keep them coming!!
I will! Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely loved the video. What I enjoyed the most was your humble personality. Great job all the way around!
Arguably some of the best content on TH-cam.
You’re too nice!
those triangle pieces you used for your frame/tire mounts... do the same for the spindle to prevent sag
Super clean bumper man! Love the content, can’t wait to see you wheel the taco 👍
Good job young man it feels so much better when you build it yourself
It really does! More work but it’s something to be proud of
This is amazing, literally a dream truck.
First you have a great truck i had one second i like how you’re fabricating everything yourself and not like other guys who spend thousands and you made it yourself.
You should think of a stop for the tire carrier when it is open
Yea I had a plan for one, still trying to figure out how to incorporate it correctly though.
Nice build Mike, love the step by step! Only two things I'd add are a second catch to lock it open so it doesn't smack the tailgate, and some flush mount LED reversing pods?
Man you knocked that out of the park! Thats the way to do it. DIY FTW!!
DIY ! All day
Great DIY tire carrier; came out perfect. Thanks for the tips 👍
Thank you!
Your diy is awesome, I just picked up a late model 1999 tacoma. Going to use you Chanel as inspiration.
Just got my Amazon plasma cutter. I have a couple projects to clear out of the que. Then ima start fabbing on the Taco as well! Great job on the tire carrier.
Sweet , let me know how they go!
Excent job but you need to move that bumper out another 1/2". Once you start going down a bumpy trail the body and the swingarm will move.
Hasn’t been an issue yet. Thanks!
Another Nice Job! Love your "I'm going to figure this out" attitude. Very creative!!
Gotta have that when you do it yourself!
Can’t wait to see you start wheeling it!!
Great project! already built a bumper so this tire carrier will be a great addition
Absolutely loving this DIY projects, thanks man!
This truck has turned out so good!! Crazy transformation.
Yeah I was just looking at what it was before !

Dude, this is epic! Well done! So satisfying to watch. I don’t know a thing about welding but I’m blown away by your work!

Beautiful truck, watching you inspires me to fix up my 04 sequoia
Man I love this! I’m not a great welder or fabricator but I’m going to use this as a how to and try and make one for my Tacoma this winter. Also love those wheels. I have the same ones but in black.
Yeah give it a go and learn along the way!
Post more videos!!! Love them
Man I miss having scrap yards like that around
awesome work, cant wait to get my tube bumpers!!!!
Inspired me to try and make my own front and rear swing out for my 98 tacoma. great job
There ya go! Let me know how it comes out!
Would be dope to see a build for a 99-06 Silverado/gmc offroad rig!
I love your content man. Your video helped me build my own rock sliders on my 3rd gen and i plan to do this bumper as well. Keep up the great work.
Oh nice! Glad I could help ya!
Where you at, Mike?
The truck is turning out great. Makes me miss my 1st gen.
its been a couple monthes did you get sent out to sea ?
Thanks for this video Mike! I didn't know they made a hinge kit!
your welds look really professional. I look forward to seeing it 4 wheel .
Thank ya!
wonderful design and execution. Trigger them gaps in. sand 'em flush. weld 'em out. Easy Peasy! 🍻
Easy money!
That rack is amazing. Great work.
I like this a lot and might steal the idea
Steal away!
can we talk about the structural two by fours in there?
I like your work and ambition!
Could you post a link for the pipe bender and the plasma cutter?
maybe add a second spring pin by the hinge to lock it open also! nice job man
Don’t know why you don’t have 250k subs. Great videos. Would love to see more suspension stuff if you’ve got plans for it.
Nice and simple, just enough doohickeys to make it versatile 👍
Doohickies and various nick nacks
Love the DIY content Mike!! Keep ‘em comin
Heck yeah Mike! Very clean simple bumper/tire carrier. 🤘🏼
Dude really hope your TH-cam channel blows up with subscribers! You’re videos are awesome man!

Welds are looking crispy!
🥓🥓
Dude this is HELLA impressive
Appreciate it!
What about the frame? I'm wondering on weak parts on the frame that could use plating, re-enforcement. Maybe a boxed cross member. Live in rust/snow area too. Any ideas of frame reinforcement?
You absolutely killed this build bro!!! Love it
Thank you 🫡
ahh man, so awesome!! I know you have a life outside of youtube, but I am always down to watch every second you post!

Always looking forward to these Toyota videos. Awesome tire carrier, turned out great!
Surprised you didnt run boxed steel tube in that back.
Excellent though.
Great vids. You deserve more subscribers. Keep them coming!
Love the videos Mike. Keep the great DIY videos coming. I watch them as soon as you upload. Been watching since day one.
Thanks for watching and being an OG!

Offset weight of the fuel tank mostly. Plus I can’t see back there with the RTT anyway
Another Great video and for the cost of the bumper, can't beat that.
Not too bad right? Much cheaper than buying one
The man. The myth. The legend.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome job. What tube bender do you have?
Great design! Beefy! Welds are looking damn good. 👍
Love the video! Wondering what tube bender you have?
Glad you left in the oh shit clip that happens to me every time I do a project lmao
Always 😂
Nicely Done, Dude! Not bad for flying by the seat of your pants
Looks amazing those wheels are killer
You like em
Mike doesn’t give himself enough credit with his fabrication skills
Where’d you get your tube bender from? Or what brand is it
Turned our freaking awesome
Bruhhhhh i yelled out, "THE PAINT!!!" The second he went to mount it. 😂 @18:00 but dope build! looks like fun!
Can add ramps and stops
Sick, man. You should open a shop.
Some day maybe 🤔
Where has he gone!
Very Good Welding
Well done build!. Well presented also.
Thank you!
What in the world was the previous owner doing with those leaf spring mounts??
Awesome job! Truck looks great 👍
Thanks!
Nice welds and looks great bro 😎 good job 👏
Thank ya!
Hey, where did you get the square tubes from? I'm looking into making a swing out on my Tacoma, but I'm going to incorporate the stock bumper to make it as minimal as possible.

Keep up the good work Miguel!
