    So this bumper is for the 3rd gen runner, but that’s just a narrow tundra and the bumper build will move to the tundra next. Call it a prototype for the fab to come. With that said, I’d like to tap y’all’s brains and see what yall think. As it is the part clamped across is proud of lower portion by 2.5” and has 5” of clearance between bottom and top of lower tube. Maybe get a small winch later on, not primary focus. How’s it look so far, any glaring oh hell no’s? Probably end up tucking top bar in closer to vertical plane of lower tube, but going slow. Thanks

    So this ended up in getting cut apart and redone. I like round tubes. Just figured I’d add the finished product to the thread. Weight is about 60lbs, I can mount and remove alone. More lights are coming, but budget is tight for now. IMG_1955.jpg IMG_1954.jpg IMG_1812.jpg

    Looks like it would be sweet for off-road use, but your profile says 2wd... I don't know how I'd feel about driving my 2wd around with a nice off-road bumper like that, but on the other hand there aren't a lot of choices for us first gens otherwise. Especially if you're not a huge fan of the Ranch hand bumper (like me).

    Good work so far. The round tube is a nice touch
