- In this video I use my trusty old Harbor Freight Flux 125 Welder to put together the Coastal Offroad Bumper for my friend's 1st gen Sequoia.
thanks brother for posting this, been looking at coastal off road bumpers for diy bumper job. Looks like I won't be needing an expensive welder for a weekend project
Absolutely! Yup I love my flux titanium!
All hail the mighty Sequoia!
Nice man I did a video building the C.O. rear bumper.

Nice! Yeah I’m actually thinking about getting their kit for my 80 series! Sequoia are such an affordable platform that people snooze on for overlanding! Subscribed right back atcha bud!
Nice! Keep it up.
Nice work bud, you got a subscriber.
Thanks man!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great channel!!
Looking to order the rear Coastal Off-road bumper
Currently learning how to weld with my Harbor Freight Chicago flux Wire Welder. Great work!!
Do it! I put together a full rear swing out bumper on my Land Cruiser with the flux core welder!
Oh cool a Sequoia first gen! That's what I got!
For the price compared to a Land Cruiser- you get ALOT more bang for your buck!
@@Austin_SaintOnge pretty much why I got the Sequoia. Part of me wish I got the Lexus GX470. The Sequoia was much nicer to my bank account. Looking to improve my approach angle. The bumper and sliders are definitely on my list. That $200 Welder is definitely clutch. I'm thinking about picking one!. But I'm spoiled I'm used to MIG welding with the gas bottle.
The gx470 reminds me of something from Star Wars that a stormtrooper would drive🤣 I like the look of the sequoia more. Oh if you’ve got a mig then for sure that’s much better!
@@Austin_SaintOnge as of now I don't have any welder. So I'd have to relearn with a welder like you have probably.
Oh my bad I misread what you said😄 if you started on a mig machine- this one will be even easier!
I purchased their top of the line tig welder too (Vulcan) and have been practicing on it with stainless and aluminum. Will be doing a ‘review’ style video on it soon
If you get yourself some good anti-spatter spray go a bit slower and make sure to keep your distance cobsistent it will look great!
I totally forgot about anti spatter spray! I’ll make sure to grab a can for my next project! Thanks !
Hey great vid! Did you grind down the welds on the bumper at all or leave them as is?
Thanks! I think I grinded them down- not fully though- just enough to look decent
So a year later how are the welds holding up? I have that welder, wondering if it is good enough to put together bumpers or sliders.
I’m gonna be adding a few things to the bumper in a few weeks so I’ll be sure to make a video on it!
What is the correct bolt size and thread type for the mounting points
Dang ya know I couldn’t tell ya as it was my friends vehicle and I’m not in the area anymore😔 I’d guess they were m12x1.25 or 1.50 but not sure
What size wire for the bumper 0.30 or 0.35?
I used 0.35!
@@Austin_SaintOnge thanks going to attempt it.
@@drewboost2867 do it man! Just take your time and always remember- “grinder and paint for the welder that ain’t “😆
Would you be able to help me tub my fender wells I’m from Washington as well
I’m really not the guy you want helping you with that 😆also I just have very little free time at the moment due to having to pay for the Cummins swap.
@@Austin_SaintOnge dang! But thank you for the response I appreciate it!
Hi nice video. how long did it take you to weld the bumper on?
@carlosyu2341 took the better part of 2 days of prepping and tacking/evaluating
If it has slag you drag
I’ll remember that! Thanks
