numbr2luder it really wasn’t too difficult of an install. But it would be a lot easier with an extra hand. Highly recommended bumper and winch setup though.
Looks good with the bumper n winch mounted not bulky looking like others I seen it does look like a big job to tackle by oneself, much what you show of removing the front bumper & other parts behind it is much what has to be done doing a 3" bodylift but thats only part of it much more to doing bodylifts, the only other thing I could never find myself to do is cutting anything up or even trimming things especially when it comes to getting a suspension lift getting cab mount chops banging the bead weld under the fenders with a sledge hammer just to get 35" tires on is completely insane some of them videos that others post doing this is somewhat comical..
Thanks for the edumacation from a weekend warrior. It's my 2nd Sierra winter and snow arrived just before Thanksgiving this year. After pulling several folks out of trouble with a strap, I finally decided to make sure I can get myself out of a jam. Got mine coming and install Christmas weekend. Have a great holiday season and keep em coming.
Been some time since this was posted. But I'm trying to get this same set up for my 3rd gen. I have the Cali raised hidden light bar. Does the winch/control box sit right in that area behind the bull bar? Want to see if I'll have to take that light bar out.
You are going to have to do some cutting if you want an actual bumper and winch. No matter what brand or style. But I don’t think it would hurt the resale value if you do it right. It might add value if anything.
How do reach back and flip the switch to let the winch unspool by hand, I have the same bumper but I would have to reach all the way from the top and open the hood
I am looking at this same combination for my 2018 Tacoma TRD OffRoad DCLB until I can "upgrade" to an apogee bumper set (they have the only rear bumper I know of that is BSD compatible, but they still have the rock sliders and the rear tire carrier in development)
@@clevelandtaco1007 I mostly do not like the idea of cutting into my factory bumper as that is sell-able (in pristine condition) and I have plans to upgrade next year to a matched set of full coverage front and rear bumpers. otherwise... good looking product at a decent price though I am not getting third party stuff through them... I can get that winch at 15% off final cost elsewhere. (a shame... I like sticking with single suppliers when ever possible.)
How do you access the control plug and more importantly, how do you get to the spool? Unless you have a perfect stuck scenario and pull head on, the cable will ball up on one end or the other and you will have to work that spool as you pull yourself out?
Have you had a chance to pull or winch with that setup? Does the bumper seem strong with its mounting points to the frame ? Looks great, I saw that SSO came out with 2 extensions to cut both the left and right of that plastic OEM bumper and the inserts they sell are supposed to give more clearance; it mates up to your slimline bumper...not sure how strong the attachment to the bumper would be in case you hit a big rock....great video btw.
kseepersad2380 thank you, so far I have only used it to pull a lawn tractor out of a ditch. But yes it is very solid and sturdy. I have seen those high clearance extensions and plan on getting them when they come out.
Beneficial Living will do. They say they will have it out for sale around mid March. Im going to post something about installing the front license plate soon. Fastened to the SSO bumper.
That thing looks sweet!! Just curious, did all that weight make your truck droop a little? I'm hesitant to add anymore weight to my rig. I'm geared up for overlanding and it's getting heavy. Thanks again.
Anthony Sanchez fortunately it did not make much of a difference. I measured it and it was less than a 1/4 inch drop. I also have a three inch spacer on the stock shocks so the front end is more stiff than normal. But not sure how much that affects it.
I have a stealth light bar in my bumper. So if I install this low pro bumper with winch I won’t be able to use my light bar? Looks pretty tight where the winch motor sits in there.
Joe Giago yes it was a bit difficult to get your hand in the right position to start the thread. But the bolts that came with the winch did end fitting just fine.
No, you kinda do need to remove it. Especially to get rid of the stock bumper safety thing. Technically I guess you can do without removing the whole bumper. But you are going to have a really bad day and or weekend with a lot of mother F ing.
Could imagine if you was ever to put everything back original toyota would charge mininum of 500$ to 800$ for tbe part you cut away..trucks arent built like was in my days these newer toyotas have so much plastic junk connected to front end just to remove a bumper back in the old days was 8 bolts @ tops to remove a bumper..

Great video showing a lot of the important parts of the install. Also, I love it when a random cat's tail wanders through the frame.
Instructions: Requires 2 people.
This guy: Hold my beer.
Great video and awesome ingenuity on your part taking a 3 man job mounting it to a 1 person job.
Michael Williams thank you sir.
Man... what a great video. Thanks!
I want one of these but after watching this, I’m not sure that’s a project I want to tackle...

Great video - I've got one of these bumpers coming in a couple of months. I love your wood-burning shop stove !
Scott Sattler MD FACS thank you, it’s a quality bumper I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Super clean truck, must be brand new.
It was at one time
Hey, great video... stumbled on your channel today... enjoyed watching... thank you

Good job on the install. I have one on my 2014 that I built myself I know how it is not having any help
Great video - I'll try to have a friend or two around.
Kevin Christensen that’s a good idea. And a lot safer
Great video bro. but not sure if i want to cut my bumper. I would eventually have to trade it for new gen.

There are two hand holes in the front right next to the fair lead.
Great video! Do you have links to the products that you used for this build?
no links but products are in the description

Matt Lewandowski it’s a great low profile bumper. I highly recommend. SSO makes quality products

mdmeltdown there are two access holes in the front of bumper that your hands will fit in
mdmeltdown and after using the winch I recommend unspooling it and re winding it so it winds up evenly
Nicely done 👍
Hi bro.. Are you running stock suspension?
There is a 3 inch front and 2 inch rear leveling spacer kit installed
Have you had a chance to pull or winch with that setup? Does the bumper seem strong with its mounting points to the frame ?

Please do a install video if you get them.. thanks

SSO says it only adds 30-40 lbs over the stock setup.
Josh Lloyd the winch is about 70 pounds. And that’s with synthetic rope.
Does the bull bar get in the way of the Toyota safety sense sensor?
stan tofan as far as I can tell it does not. The sensor behind the emblem still works as it should
I have a stealth light bar in my bumper. So if I install this low pro bumper with winch I won’t be able to use my light bar? Looks pretty tight where the winch motor sits in there.
Christian Calma there is a decent amount of room. I think the light bar will fit fine as long as it’s not super a super bulky light.
Clevelandtaco awesome thank you!awesome truck btw💪🏽💪🏽
Did you have any issues putting the front nut and bolt in the winch/bumper to late? It’s a tight squeeze
Joe Giago yes it was a bit difficult to get your hand in the right position to start the thread. But the bolts that came with the winch did end fitting just fine.
30 below? I dig the solo shit, but the hell with cold like that.
Does it affect the third gen sensor upfront
It does not. I even recently reinstalled a Pro grill and it is unaffected.
Great video. Thanks for sharing..
TucsonDave111 thank you, going to be installing the high clearance kit after they release it hopefully at the end May
Part number for winch my friend about to order bumper and winch thanks 🙏🏼

Does it come with all the accessories
Ronnie Lo everything that was shown comes in the box
You realize you didn't need to remove bumper right? Cut in place.

Tighten that winch till it's snug on the shackle. Good shit tho
that was just the stock hook that came on the winch. Factor 55 FlatLink closed winch shackle is on now.
Does this winch fit a mud ring from a VW bug?
Only if it's 60 years of age or older. With historic plates
It is a bit overkill, but yes it will definitely get the job done.
I didn't realize you spoke english. That Rosetta Stone is really working.
That's 🔥🔥🔥
hack up your truck...nice
Thank you
@@clevelandtaco1007 I was being sarcastic
