Bro your work is too legit and spot on. Can we make 100k likes for him guys
Let’s go!! 👍👍👍
The Raptor King. Really came together. Looks great even without a lift.
Thanks! I can’t wait to get a lift on it!
I love how you show the reality of working on things. The switch snafu for instance. You didn't have to show that but you did. I hate the DIY shows that all the work is done during the commercials and your wife wants it done this weekend because "you just do it like this"! Do me a favor. Put some sidewalls on these tires! no bigger than 16" wheels with 33s :o)
When I first saw this, I thought crap, he's doing another bumper. Once I started watching it, I was pulled in by the great work you do as well as the good production of the video. The quality you put into everything you do is always amazing. Another fantastic job. I can't wait to see what you do with the 4Runner.
Awesome thank you man!!
I think that bumper wood look cool with a skied plat going down off it, to the diff
Tackling this project soon
Very nice bumper bro.
Thanks 👍
Completely addicted! Austin, your videos satisfy my OCD. Thank you sir.
Thanks man!!
im really glad i found ur Channel ❤
How can there be a 👎 on this video?!?! Damn haters gonna hate i guess. Oh well, all love and respect for you, from here buddy! Awesome work! 👍 👍 👍
Someone is jealous they have no skillz.
Thanks man!!
@@madcratebuilder thats pry exactly what it is
It’s fucken ridiculous I’m working underground and have no phone reception as soon as I get out and get reception I’m like !!!!!!
Wooohoooo another video what Austin up too, and I’m only 8 hours late!!!
Thumbs up every video!!!
@@MussaKZN awesome man thank you!! 👍👍
You love that raptor liner!
I have grown very fond of it!
If you ran the light wires through the factory grommet that’s by the brake booster, you’re gonna want to fab up a cover over the grommet. The windshield drains directly on the wires there, and any added wire through that grommet will cause the water to run into the cab and soak the carpet. Happens to everyone that’s ran wires through there, including me.
Dang I didn’t know that! Thanks for the heads up
It's gonna look rad once lift/wheels go on. Totally changed the look on my 3rd T4R as well.
It looks very good.
Thanks!
My favorite is the spray bottle camera
Great Work for the inside is best to clean it before hand
It looks really amazing bro. Great job
Thanks a ton!
I'm a big fan of your work also. A young welder myself your tips are really helpful.
That fancy grinding disk you bought seemed pretty slick. I’ve always just used a sanding disk for the grinder, like the one you had on the DA but for a 4-1/2”
Nice work! Wish I had that kind of garage space.
This came out really awesome. Your attention to detail for this bumper build was great. Your getting faster as well. Good job.
Thanks 👍 I learn a bit every time i do it, it gets faster and a little bit easier!
You definitely can tell. Plus allowing your fans to do the same creating the template . I’m straight up binge watching all your videos today haha.
Dang... that turned out really nice. Great job as always.
White vinegar is the easiest way to get millscale off. Soak a towel, cover with plastic, leave on for a day then hose off. Do the whole sheet before you start. Way easier than grinding.
A work of art!
I want one!!!!!!!! Looks awesome man! Great work!
Thanks! 👍
Dude!!! this is the best bumper on a 3rd Gen 4Runner i've ever seen and believe me, I've searched. What would you sell the bumper for?? Even with your very detailed plans and insructions, i wouldn't be able to make this. It is just awesome!!!
That black disc works great for taking off old bedliner to !!
Turned out awesome man! 4-runnernbuildnis coming right along!
Looks pretty tight! Great work
That looks great man
Wow nice. I need this for my truck
Looks awesome, nice job!
Thanks!
looks great! Nice work!
Thanks!
Looks great man.
Austin you look great!👍
Looks great
SWEET!
Touch of Class
Work of art mate. Well done
Thanks!
Nice bumper!!! Good job!!
Thanks! 👍
You should try using bar soap on your sanding pads. Using the soap is like using cutting oil with a drill but it wash off more easily without leaving a residue that paint won't stick to.
Looks good Austin.
Thanks man!
Look forward to your videos from here in Vermont!!! Great work Austin!
Awesome! Thank you!
That looks amazing good job 👍🏾
Thank you!
Nice work!
Mint workmanship i recon a middle hoop on the bumper
Looking fresh with da New bumper Austin can't wait for da lift n tires Chilu that means brother in are island 🤙
It's so nice!
Thank you!
It's looks amazing!👍
Thanks!
I've been having the same exact problem trying to clean down to bare metal. It's like the flap disc ends up grinding into the metal vs taking the coating off.
Awesome.....again.
Check Cascadia 4x4 Flipster for a plate mount. Flips up when going to use the winch
You an inspiration bro!!!!
Yes !
I wish I had these plans when I owned my 4runner.
Excellent video
Will be buying the template as soon as I get my death wobble solved and maybe lbjs would this bumper still work with a limited but great job man keep it up 👏
that bumper look's great man ! nice job once again cant beleive some people dislike that video .. no skills i guess haha ..
keep up the good work bud cheers !
Thank you!!
I would relocate the connector for the winch controller to the front of the bumper or to the front grille.
good job! 😎
You can use a hard stone grinding wheel to cut of mill scale and then a flap disk to sand it smooth, or another sanding tool, but a hard stone will last so much longer.
Smashed like potatoes at Thanksgiving, Austin! You rock! I just bought a 3rd Gen that needs front and rear bumpers.
Nice man!!! Congrats on the buy!
TALENT!!
👍❤
nice work
Looks really good. Wish you’d have plans for a 93-98 ZJ bumper.
Not sure about the remote connector on the winch .. if it is 3 or 4 pin XLR type for audio you can get a 90 degree xlr connector that might align everything and better clearance to put it on and off
Hey man, sweet job. You should get your power for your lights from a semi constant though. Maybe save you from a dead battery some day
exente trabajo hermoso....
You could have put an extension for the control cable and leave the socket on the outside of the bumper or use a wireless remote control and you saved yourself cutting the part of the reinforcement ... happy day ..
Man ! I wish you're my neighbor , I've been looking around for a simple bumper for my 06 Tacoma..!
looks good...IMO i would have mounted the control box remotely behind the grill so you can plug it in easier...there are times in a recovery and off camber situations when you really don't want to have to hunt for the controller port.
Your skills are amazing. It would take me a month to build a bumper like that.
Thanks 👍
i use vinegar to remove mill scale. when the parts are flat i put them in a kids swimming pool (or smaller container) with just enough vinegar to cover them for 24 hours. take them out and just rinse them off with water and the mill scale will fall off. i use a second pool as a lid and i keep the vinegar till it gets slow. you can use other stronger acids but there not safe around kids and pets so i dont use them.
Nice man
Thanks!
Because i also love in offroad in my country
Another fantastic meticulous job, your work always comes out great. I do a lot of tinkering in my shop, it always seems that someone is hitting me up to build a bumper or something for their vehicle and I usually Raptor line it. I don't know if this would help, when I epoxy primer I always use black Omni MP172 this way if somebody gets Wild and chips the Raptor liner it's kind of hard to tell with the black epoxy under it. Anyways keep the videos coming I really like watching them you are very blessed with your talents!
Thanks!! Yea next time i buy epoxy it will be black! This is just some leftovers i had!
the winch nest can be taken out on the bumper itself, it is inconvenient to climb
Nice
I like it a lot. Will you do a matching rear bumper?
And the 6-12" scotch brite pads will remove millscale as well as just sandblasting it off. I'm a tig welder by trade and with that said everything has to be super clean
I use that poly wheel for everything I dont want extra steel comming off
I've got a custom bumper on my Fj cruiser need to put a winch in it
Hey Austin! Can you make a front and rear bumper like that for my 96 4Runner? My chrome ones are all banged up and the rear one has little rust spots.
Removed my front bumper to raptor line my truck and I noticed my front cross member that unbolts is very bent so I guess a custom is the only option for a frame rail mounted off-road bumper…. Did you not make a spot for some turn signals ?
Dear Austin, can i know did suspension kits for runners can fitted to prado 90s,
Have you ever tried Upol acid 8 primer. It’s an etching primer that works great on bare metal and helps protect the metal from rust.
Yes I have! I prefer epoxy, seems to have a better bond
Amazing home shop! How much did all the steel cost you for the bumper and where would you recommend to buy the steel?
Great looking bumper. What was the cost of the steel for this build? Would this bumper fit an 01 tacoma
nice!
Just came across your channel. Great job on the bumper. Any plans on a rear bumper build? A rear bumper is my next project and would be interested if you made rear bumper plans available. I learned to weld after deciding not to replace a stock front bumper on a '01 4Runner. Too bad I didn't come across your channel sooner before I welded a MOVE bumper. I like it but I would have gone with your plans had I weighed the options. The true custom look wins every time!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Im not sure about a rear, maybe if i have time i will!
No ones going to want to hit this one! Great job as always!
Haha I don’t think it will budge! Thanks man!
Do u have the same plans for your flatbed for the diesel?
Need mud tyres with big 4×4 rims..😍
Nice red 90's era pickup!! 3 in TG front springs? with 5 in shackles?
Wow wish I could do the things your doing to your vehicles. It's called lack of $$. Nice job. God Bless
I love the bumper and would love to buy the plans and build one but I have a 99 Tacoma and I was wondering if you knew if it fit on any of the Tacoma’s
The bumper itself might, but the mounts are different for the taco!
Sweet thank you so much love the work
Do you have anything with the 5th gen 4runner?
If you were to put lenses on top of you led bars (colored) could you?
We need an explanation of the lantern and why he briefed grains or bright from kind and nothing of the spray gun
Bare steel rusts much faster when you remove the mill scale. You'll get better welds when you remove mill scale it. Taking it all off is, as you said, overkill, aka a waste of time. If you were going to apply a finish coat of smooth, high gloss paint for a street rig that would be a great touch. I don't think taking it off for the sake of taking it off is productive.
Top Job......
can we use that raptor liner on undercarrage or frame ?
Yes i would think so with the proper prep you can coat about anything! People even use it on wood!
