You prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

@Isaiah Aydin instablaster ;)

[@isaiahaydin6281]

@Johnny Kyson i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@isaiahaydin6281]

@Johnny Kyson it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out!

[@johnnykyson2928]

@Isaiah Aydin Happy to help :D

[@zachariaevans9026]

I’ve watched a ton of these videos. I don’t see how they’re able to do so much vehicle work without swearing

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Our editing team does a *great* job. 😅😂 -Zach

[@mofosheee01]

Because a split tail is doing the install. They are innately superior at this kind of work

[@JuanManuel-fm9jt]

WIFEY

[@TONYSTARK-jh2wu]

because it's not that hard.

[@pagg30]

*** Massive time saver - You do NOT need to remove the bumper shroud. Remove the grill, mark and trim the shroud and Then remove the crash bar.

[@renenavarro4121]

Winner 🏆

[@ethanrolve]

I like how she's presenting the product, she's very clear and articulate. great job

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks for the love, Ethan! -Zach

[@davidpease3158]

Agreed, excellent job on the video!

[@Bookerdevin101]

Not to mention she's pretty

[@c.taplin6427]

What a great job! This video makes me much more confident about taking this project on. The presenter, did not see that she mentioned her name, did a thorough job with the presentation of the product as well as the installation, step-by-step, extremely detailed. Thumbs up!

[@peytonrogers4176]

It is really nice. My buddy backed up into my truck and hit my bumper and it didn’t even put a scratch on the bumper, it looked like he didn’t touch it. And for the people that say he wasn’t going fast enough we were going 15mph and it totaled his tailgate.

[@candlestickboys2470]

Thank you for the video!! Bought a month ago from you guys and installing tomorrow with winch and light bar on a 2021 limited. This video did a good job of showing the trim process which is what worried me the most. Will send the pics when I'm done :)

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Please do, Byron! We'd love to see it! -Zach

[@bluetacojourney3460]

Love this color!

[@useryggfdcc]

Just finished installing this bumper on my 2021 Tacoma TRD 4X4 without the bumper. Bought a new unpainted Toyota OEM bumper to cut while keeping my original OEM bumper intact. The wrinch installed too, works flawless with the bumper.

[@jonathanoldbury1058]

Well done, purchased for my 2019 4Runner. Well done video, very well done.

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

the best after market bumper for 3rd gen Tacoma's great color choice !

[@koshnaranek8836]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I just installed the same bumper on my truck and the job went perfectly!

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks a bunch for watching! -Zach

[@thomasj3549]

Great videos helped out a ton on my install!

[@tyrsafray4640]

You make us girls look capable... going to put one on my 2021 off road long bed ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@andymarshall7119]

What a in depth job to literally cut up the facia and remove body clips that are never the same once taken out. I really wanted this bull bar but the decrease in my trucks value is a gamble. On a positive note it looks sweet. 😮

[@spvimagery3527]

Love that Vudoo blue.

[@joebrito2066]

Awesome job on both the install and presentation

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks for watching, Jose! -Zach

[@danmarker5819]

Excellent video and instruction. Had my tablet handy on a shelf in my garage and just pushed pause and play at every step. Took a few hours. With the right tools, a little mechanical aptitude, and a great step by step video, it's amazing what a novice can do! Thanks.

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thank you, Dan! We appreciate you watching! -Zach

[@road2manhood]

Thank you so much!! This was sooo helpful and was able to successfully install mine today. Great work!!

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@juliopenate213]

It’s gave me peace watching this lady

[@ccbbh4477223]

She does it all without breaking a nail!!!

[@jonathanpadro9596]

Awesome video, thanks!

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@thatbluetaco1875]

I’m tempted, looks nice and websites seem to have it in stock. Unlike the other brands that have ridiculous lead time

[@This_Guy1]

Anybody else have a Fallout flashback when she said "rat-e-ater"? Great informative video. Been waiting on mine to ship for 5days now hopefully it ships soon

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Good ol PA accent to go along with our wooder and hoagies. 😅 Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@modXELA]

Thanks for the video share, very helpful. I just got my bumper and will be installing a winch as well. Is the aluminum crash bar & bracket going back or are these taken out permanently? Also, is it really necessary to remove the OEM bumper to do this install? Just trying to cut some of the steps...

[@tacomacanada5740]

If I did this install video it would be 72 hours long 😏 nice job 👍

[@rubenbrown6822]

I got the back bumper and kinda want this one too match and very budget friendly

[@teamfox5608]

Hey Zach - Very nice job on the video and very detailed. Missed the fog lights disconnect? Before I order it, do you know if the Harbor Freight Badland 12K winch will fit?

[@mikeschoolcraft21]

Morris 4x4 $530. Shipped last week, it will be here on Wednesday. The gave a 10% discount for new customer.

[@thomasfenner8513]

Is there a reason why you couldn't do the cutting with the bumper mounted to the truck?

[@davidr.1517]

Did you video running the switch for the light bar and also, what switch did you use?

[@scoganz174]

I wish the bumper had an additional high bar over the grill but still allow the TSS to work .

[@mikegabler5183]

so this bumper guard replaces the front crash bar....Does it change the front end crash dynamics??

[@useryggfdcc]

Excellent description how to do the installation.

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thank you for watching! -Zach

[@ri_taco]

Will you have a the wing install for these?

[@jasonp1319]

Anyone know whether this will block the sensor on a 21 TRD Pro?Thanks.

[@mangu180]

What’s the size of the rubber trim that’s used once the bumper is cut? Is it 1/8 inch?

[@Mike-cu6gk]

Thank you for the video. just a quick question is there any covers to close the place of the light bar in case you decide not to use one?

[@SlipWreck]

Is this bumper compatible with the barricade brush guard?

[@useryggfdcc]

That cooler line bolt was never reinstall? One behind the flap in the wheel well. Note: the righthand tow hock is touching the bottom off the bumper too.

[@willverniero2662]

Yea I'm almost done with the install trying to figure out to how reattach the line on the wheel lol

[@tomgregory5814]

It does look good. I’m with the other guy though. Not wild about cutting up my brand new bumper.

[@useryggfdcc]

I just bought a new unpainted bumper and cut that. Original painted bumper now a spare.

[@Skylyned]

@@useryggfdcc did you get the new bumper painted to match the truck?

[@useryggfdcc]

@@Skylyned No, I just kept it unpainted. It's the same black plastic as around the wheels fenders . Still looking good.

[@NextGeneration789]

Does this fit with the 2022 off-road too?

[@keithmason1227]

Always a fan of Extreme Terrain install vids. I had ordered my bumper and Raxiom 20 in light bar. Any suggestions on a winch? Specifically fitment in the BA/Tacoma bumper...or will any 9500-10K lb winch fit??

[@useryggfdcc]

I installed the Barricade 9.500lb winch with cable/wireless controller on a 2021 Tacoma TRD 4X4. Works beautifully, just properly pre tension the rope with a 500 lb + tension.

[@robrozek9265]

Will this work with the active cruise control

[@maximilianhenson636]

How do you access control of the winch

[@Eric-sv2wk]

So after reading all the installation reviews, I noticed some reviewers have said that the bumper shroud can be cut in place without removing it and save some valuable time. Is this true?

[@_n8787]

Now I just need the “⚽️🏀🏈🎾” to cut my brand new Tacoma I’ve had for 2 weeks lol

[@LiquidAutoSpa]

Remove the crash bar, is still safe? Will airbag will be active if crash?

[@Barner-kc5hp]

Is it possible to have a winch and the front license plate?

[@opparigo3470]

Can you guys do on a 2nd gen ( 12-15) please

[@Solamander12]

Question. Do you also have to remove your aftermarket skid plate too to install this? I removed the stock skid plate on mine and have an RCI front skid on it right now. Thanks in advance!

[@davidr.1517]

I was wondering the same thing? I have the RCI skid plate too!!

[@Solamander12]

@@davidr.1517 Update: Yes you will have to remove the stock skidplate but that should be about it besides two smaller pieces in the back. Easy install.

[@colombanimaruhau3887]

Do you have site for bracket license plate

[@cody5495]

I'm bummed if I put this bumper on my truck the truck won't fit in my garage anymore

[@NikolaTesla64]

Can you reach the winch control? Is it easy to engage free spool with this bumper?

[@useryggfdcc]

Yes. I installed it on my 2021 Tacoma TRD 4x4 and it's easy to reach the winch control level.

[@Yi-Leng]

What is the purpose of relocating the cooling line? Is it for a winch? If I was not going to install a winch, can I leave the lines where they are?

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Bolt Plates are used to relocate the cooler, if equipped, towards the rear of the vehicle to increase clearance for the winch mounting plate on the back of the bumper.

[@marcleblanc928]

I put that front bumper with winch 9500lbs and a 3inch lift in front and 2 inch rear but now my front is lower because of the weight in front and it also bottom out on rough roads is their a better way or stronger set up to stop this from happening. Thankyou

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

When the time comes to replace your front struts, I would highly recommend looking into a full lift coilover replacement that can help handle the weight and perform better on rough roads. Something like this kit from Bilstein would be perfect. -Zach www.extremeterrain.com/bilstein-tacoma-0-to-370-inch-b8-6112-front-suspension-leveling-kit-47-309975.html

[@marcleblanc928]

Thanks for your help

[@edgarandreasyan521]

Anyone have any recommendations for a bumper that doesn’t require cutting of the stock bumper

[@TheArmybrat1994]

4WP bumper. They don’t require cutting.

[@user-vd6wz2rt2i]

TE MI GORGAAAAAA QUE BELLA

[@thechiefofsinners1362]

Do you know if this bumper effects fuel milage at all?

[@Trailcamvideos25]

Not a ton but these bumpers typical weigh between 50-75 pounds which adds more weight

[@rupert5279]

to install a light bar they just go onto it? or into

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

This will have mounting points on the inside.

[@ABomber831]

At 30:25 what wiring harness does that connect to??

[@davidpease3158]

Fog lights i think

[@silascastellanos]

I don't like the idea have to cut the bumper they should make another bumper fits without cut.

[@lupesalinas2687]

I agree, and really hope some options that don’t require any cuts come out soon.

[@sabaivang3625]

I agree too, they should just make it match exactly the unplug bumper part instead have to cut 20mm extra. This will make hard for the buyers and doesn't look professional.

[@xmuknightx]

Thought we were going to get a wardrobe malfunction at 8:10. Lol

[@louis-philipjacques9530]

how much time should it take to install ( bumper + winch )

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

If you have mechanical experience it should take you about 2 hours with just the bumper. I have not installed this with a winch, but I would expect to add about a half hour to an hour onto the install time. -Merideth

[@rx8dude907]

Not sure why you guys removed the bumper, you could of just cut while still in place

[@csdmopar25]

Great video thanks. Side note removing the entire bumper honestly isn't necessary. I was able to do it easily without doing so.

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@ImmortalAssasinable]

Will this conflict with some of our TSS sensors?

[@tomgregory5814]

I wouldn’t think so. The sensor is behind the Toyota emblem.

[@ImmortalAssasinable]

@@tomgregory5814 Thanks, might have to go for this one or the dv8...just had to take off my westin bull bar because it was blocking my TSS sensor

[@tomgregory5814]

Yeah I’ve heard guys are having problems with the TSS sensors on bars and when they lift the suspension.

[@candlestickboys2470]

Nope, installed last weekend on my '21 limited. Plenty of clearance for the tss and the front camera mounted underneath it.

[@silverhorder1969]

Would most body shops do this if I don’t want to do it myself?

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

They sure would! -Zach

[@ozzkarvalladares.8676]

hello guys I bought that same bumper for a 2020 4x4 tacoma but I never installed it and I sold it and bought a 2022 4x4 I want to know if this bumper fits before cutting help me please

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

This will fit a 2022! :)

[@ozzkarvalladares.8676]

Thank you guys 🙏

[@mazpn1]

How come these videos never mention if these type of bumpers, bull bars or grille guards never mention anything about interfering with the tss and front facing camera.

[@johart789]

How do you keep those nails??

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

My biggest secret... Lol. They're quite durable and a great tool! Thanks for watching. -Merideth

[@markh.956]

I would be willing to pay for a template for cutting the bumper.

[@RecordRockerSolo]

You can even do this without breaking a nail

[@marcleblanc928]

Would this fit à 2023 tacoma

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Yes, this fits 2016 through 2023!

whats her @ tho

[@vinnyvidivici]

What’s her @? 😂

[@frankz4900]

Great video .Just turn off the annoying music

[@Eddy-G]

Can I just hire you to install this for me? God knows I will f*** it up.

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

You can do it!! Lol, wish I could help! Thank you for watching! -Merideth

[@jameyhartley397]

Slight modification. Just disassemble the entire front end 😂

[@gregoryrekitt9375]

It makes no sense that these aftermarket parts companies can't design a bumper that could fit directly to the truck without cutting up the plastic and adding that black edge trim. That makes it look so cheap. Better designers making a better part makes more sense.

[@laleaguer4804]

Does she have any socials ?

[@bangabruhh8291]

Why does she say “RAD-iTor? Lol

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

I say it too! Southeastern PA thing, I guess. 😂 -Zach

[@salsanchez2128]

Sorry but to install that you need to destroy all the front of your truck and on top of that every time you order something parts or bolts are missing I watch the video n I regret to order that

[@derekspartan5163]

These trucks look funny the front ends chassis looks like a car sitting so low no ground clearance whatsoever...

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

That's what a little leveling kit is for! -Zach

[@trop7490]

Tus uñas OMA😢

[@mikem4432]

having to trim the bumper is a NO GO for me.. its just LAZY ENGINEERING. there are better options. that do NOT NEED TO CUT THE BUMPER

[@RetJetFxr]

What are those better options?

[@4bvenom733]

Tacoma always has better and nicer slim lime bumper amor. Body armor on the 5th gen 4runner looks fat and ugly
