  • Well we all make mistakes, unfortunately some cost more than others.
    In this video I fix the damage from smashing up the front of my truck and I build a nice front bumper!

    Your not an idiot. Your just a man, in over his head on his project. Just like the rest of us. Only you are getting it done at an amazing pace, and rolling with the punches better than most of us could!!!

    It’s only a matter of time before you start getting requests for help on builds and that turns into side work, and then you’ll have your own 4x4 shop eventually. This is how businesses start. Great work, love the content!

    What’s so cool is that out of a simple mistake, is born an amazing custom bumper build! Kudos man for really using your abilities, learning something new and being proud of what you have done. At 48 I’ve always tried to do the same. Some times a failure turns into a amazing success, so keep up the good work and don’t sweat the small stuff. I subbed! Excited to see what your doing with your taco! This coming from a ZR2 owner, yep I still like the Tacoma trucks they are great for sure.. keep up the excellent work,!

    To be honest, even if it did look funky it's functional and you made it with your bare hands! That's incredibly rewarding and 90%of people watching this including myself couldn't make a bumper so there's that. Looks awesome and I'm still really enjoying the progress videos!

    Love you’re videos man don’t worry we all make mistakes but hey I like how the bumper looks now much better plus the paint was already killed so what ever I would recommend getting a paint pen then wet sanding it down then doing a layer of clear coat then sanding then polishing it out for the hood ripple you shouldn’t be able to see the issue from 4 feet out just did it on my 2017 mustang gt
