Custom tacoma tube/pre-runner style bumper build

[OffroadTaco4x4]

We got a pipe bender in the other day at school. So I decided to pull the trigger and build a bumper. It will be out of 1.5" od 120 wall (11 ga.) tube. I would of done 1.75" od but the biggest die we have right now is 1.5". Today I just pulled the stock bumper off. And I also put the grille back on since this picture. The actual bumper will begin tomorrow. View attachment ImageUploadedByTaco Forum1398654359.742977.jpg

I'm not going off a picture or anything. I'm just making it how I want it to look. It's just guna be a tube bumper

Are you going to put a lisense plate on it? Looks like the right one would make it look meaner.

Nah I doubt it. I don't like front license plates

Sorry I haven't updated this yet, here is the finished product. I'm making the skid plate alittle bigger in the summer but I am happy with it now. Time for some lights as well.
