This has been a epic journey over the past few months I don't think many garages would be able to pull something like this but this man is doing all the work himself
Most important.... You're brave enough to try, and you learn from experience. The nice thing is that if you hate it, you buy more steel and do it again. Nice job....
Awesome job! You will look back at this time in your life when you are older and come to realize that it will be the best time of your life. Amazing transformation.
Mike, this has been awesome to see how much dedication you put into the Taco! Honestly, if I saw this on the road, I wouldn’t have any clue you did your front/rear bumpers, and the rock sliders yourself man. It’s overall pretty seamless! So legit
Love the content, I bought a 2007 fj cruiser at a salvage auction with front end damage and I'm building it in a similar theme, cheap and built in my garage lol. So I love seeing someone else on this fun journey of D.I.Y. Keep up the great content, and keep up the awesome beer shots.
I personally like the simple style that you choose to design for that bumper man! And hey it’s a story to remember that bumper even more! Don’t beat yourself up! Goal accomplished!
I can relate to the frustration that comes with teaching yourself how to do something new with no guidance from anyone with experience. Perseverance and deep breathing kind of helps! Lol Great job, I've enjoyed watching the progress on your truck.
A couple weeks ago I ended up binge watching all of your videos and haven’t stopped since. With all the knowledge and info you give out there, your channels bound to blow up soon. You should come out to the Pure 4x4 base camp trip out in the Tahoe area may 13th! Would love to see this rig
Yeah man, can’t hate on this build… I like how your design instinct has carried from the front bumper through the sliders into the rear, good stuff. Oh and you can catch some good camping and off-roading at Pismo Beach on the Central Coast here in Cali.
I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning! Love the videos man. I’m 21 almost and have a 2nd gen taco and you’re inspiring me to try to do some of the work myself
There’s some beautiful camping spots/offroad trails along the Middle Fork Feather River up near Oroville California…Milsap Bar Road or Quincy La Porte Road.
“We’re broke out here” boy, I don’t think you know what broke means with a badass truck like that😂 love the channel my man!! The build has come a long way🤙🏼
I’ve been following since the initial clean up of all the shit in the interior! Great progress on the build bro. Need to get you some sponsors so you can get some funding coming in!
I really enjoyed watching you build this rear bumper and liked how you just went for it and made it work, also great edit you are hilarious keep it up truck looks nice !!!!
If you do Utah I highly recommend the San Rafael gorge and the little grand canyon. Incredible trails and incredible scenery and very little crowds because everyone goes to the national parks instead.
Honestly if you want camping and wheeling, Utah is the place to be. Moab has good trails and Zions is amazing to camp at. Def at least consider them. Awesome progress on the Taco!!

I totally agree. I love these updates and DIY mods. It makes me want to start welding.
This has quickly become my favorite Taco build on all of youtube!!! Love the videos brother, keep em up!! 🍻

Yes indeed!
I hope the previous owner is watching this amazing transformation. Great job.
These are the kinds of DIY videos I'm here for. Great filming, editing, honesty and goal. Love it.
Awesome job! You will look back at this time in your life when you are older and come to realize that it will be the best time of your life. Amazing transformation.
I really like how you persisted through anything. Great Job....!
I've thoroughly enjoyed all your videos on this truck, but I think this one was my favorite. So awesome. Thank you for the great video.

Dude that’s awesome for real that turned out sick!
Dude, I feel your pain! Glad you kept the mistakes in so we can learn from them.
This truck was such a good investment for your channel. Been awesome watching the progress.

Love the videos. Have fun camping take lots of pictures 😊
Once again, fantastic work. Truck is looking awesome, bonus love for the soft topper, I need one of those
They’re pretty cool!
From the removing of all that trash to figuring out the engine to the rear bumper, --hats off to your great video's.
Still love the videos, truck really has come a long way. Car people in Cali are great. Cheers from your Alabama fans.
That exhaust tip is 10 extra horsepower! The bumper looks great! Well done!

This is a dope ass build. I'm taking some ideas for my 2010 dakota I'm building. Great work brother. 🤘🏽👌🏽🔥🔥🔥
Love your videos very educational. My tacoma is a 2023 access cab too. I think access cab make our truck look better. Like a real truck.
Yeah man, can’t hate on this build… I like how your design instinct has carried from the front bumper through the sliders into the rear, good stuff. Oh and you can catch some good camping and off-roading at Pismo Beach on the Central Coast here in Cali.
My boy pimpin wit the Tacoma, keep making great videos homie💯🔥
Sick Video!! The build is amazing! I wish one day I could build bumpers as you do!
I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning! Love the videos man. I’m 21 almost and have a 2nd gen taco and you’re inspiring me to try to do some of the work myself

A camper shell with a homemade bed platform is the best. I have the same type of setup in my rig
This is an awesome build. Come up to Mt. Shasta! Tons of mountain lakes to camp at and Wheeling!
Dude the sand in the tube and bending cracked me up. Only because I literally do something like this every time I work on my truck.
Keep posting man. You’re going to blow up one day. Love the videos
“We’re broke out here” boy, I don’t think you know what broke means with a badass truck like that😂 love the channel my man!! The build has come a long way🤙🏼

Been wanting a bumper like that for so long for my Tacoma, might need to pick one up after watching this vid
Man I remember you! You did engine swap since it was blown. Incredible work!!!!
Thank you! That’s me.
Hell I wouldn't mind having a bumper that nice to replace my rotted out bumper on my Tacoma, keep up the good work !
“Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t”😂😂😂
If you do Utah I highly recommend the San Rafael gorge and the little grand canyon. Incredible trails and incredible scenery and very little crowds because everyone goes to the national parks instead.
Dude, that high clearance bumper is very nice!
Thank you!
Boy don't sell yourself short my friend. Your extremely talented. I like your creations better than any of the store bought crap.
Nice bumper!!
