    Austin, you should start a fab shop for early gen Toyota Tacomas and 4Runners. Film it while doing what you love. Awesome work man!

      It would take up all his time he’d have to hire people and wouldn’t be able to make TH-cam videos. A guy on Tacomaworld did that a couple years ago couldn’t keep up, took a bunch of peoples money and disappeared. I’d hate to see that happen to Austin.

      @@packingbone1953 Everyone is different. Some things you say may have some merit. However, you can't compare someone failure to someone else. "When the dream is big enough the facts dont count". There is someone that proves your statement wrong in any business.

    Dude, I love how you fabricate something then put the video out. So many people on TH-cam would milk this for a 7 part series on how to make a bumper with a ridiculous amount of them talking things over and over. Keep up the excellent content Austin!

    I salute your method and talent. Cardboard is outstanding. I save Wide Screen TV, Refrigerator, Matress, and other boxes just for this work.
    One tip, cut through one side of the cardboard for places that need to bend. Keeps the bend straight and the bend won't fight you.

    Huge Inspiration ! As you have surely experienced, I've done a lot of searching for the perfect bumper on my off-road build. Lots of frustration as I've found design ideas I like, but fitment to my ride isn't available, or some detail just isn't right. This has been particularly true with the placement and fitment of the winch and lights I want. Your video has given me the confidence to build my own. Looking forward to the satisfaction and cost savings of DIY. Thanks and Well Done !

    How much extra weight did the bumper put on the front end, did it compress the springs more?

    • @austinniemela
      @austinniemela  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks! The bumper is just over 100 lbs so not too bad! With the winch it dropped the front end 1/2”. I am swapping to a synthetic rope as well

  • @Ghost-rw5jr
    @Ghost-rw5jr 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice job, looks great. Love the look as is. Are you worried about a rock or road debris coming up through the vent openings in the skid plate? I would feel better with a perforated plate or vented plate there to keep foreign objects from going into the lower radiator.
