Warn Semi Hidden Winch Bumper Install for 3rd Gen Tacoma

[@Ratlins9]

Thanks for making this video, very good camerawork, narration. Glad you provided name and model of winch. On a separate topic, when I go to remote locations, I bring a personal locater beacon. If stranded in remote wilderness, it’s a lifesaver.

[@geegaw14]

Awesome video. Going to be great help when I install mine this weekend.

I found school bus canyon today because if your video. Thanks bro. Be safe out there.

Going to be putting this on my taco is it easy to get your hands in the winch cradle to release your winch spool and hook up your winch remote controll wire style not remote thank you great review and happy trails

[@AllTerrainFamily]

Depends on where your winch control port is. I use the wireless remote. It’s not super easy to get at the clutch lever. But i can do it.

[@rickygutierrez9820]

awesome video and the only one of its kind. thanx for the step by step. im looking forward to getting one also 👌🏻

[@OverlandPNW]

Very clean look! I like it. How do you reach the clutch engage lever? Oh...nevermind. I see you answered this question in another comment.

[@funhogfundogs]

great video, wonderful explanation I almost think even I could do this. thanks

[@philipking8426]

I got the same bumper but I got the Warn M8000 winch so that the control box is side mount and you dont need to cut or bend hood latch bracket.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

I don’t think i had to do that.

[@pleinairbarnettoutdoors]

Since installation, are you satisfied either with looks or function of the winch, and/or that specific bumper? Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@AllTerrainFamily]

Yes. Works great, looks great!

[@DavitGiorgadze]

Thank you for video. its so sad that WARN is not offering this product for 4th gen 4runner.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

There might be other options. But that vehicle is about 13 years out of production and was perhaps the least popular of all the 4runners.

Weird no one joined chat. Hi from the coast of Maine.

Flip flops... bold choice.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

I do it for the comments.

[@jeffreyabraham3722]

How difficult is it to reach the clutch lever and the plug in for the remote?

[@AllTerrainFamily]

Clutch lever is easy. Remote is wireless.

[@brucesatow]

Good job on the video.

[@rdsmith415]

Did you do this before or after upgrading your suspension? I’m looking to add a winch and bumper and hoping to stay as stock as possible. I'm also running the TRD or. Thanks!

[@AllTerrainFamily]

After. It definitely lowered the front end.

[@rdsmith415]

@@AllTerrainFamily Thanks for the response. Do you remember how far it dropped? Did it still handle ok? I'm thinking 1/4 to a 1/2 inch drop should be ok until I save up for a suspension....really trying to avoid a full lift kit. Thanks again!

[@AllTerrainFamily]

About that. Just stand in the front somehow and that’s about what you’ll get.

[@rdsmith415]

@@AllTerrainFamily About a 1/4 inch when I do that. Thanks for the response!

[@toddwillard8927]

Actually out where you are what would you have to hook onto to winch yourself out? Might want to address that issue.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

Trees or another vehicle.

[@toddwillard8927]

@@AllTerrainFamily I didn’t see any trees and you were talking about going out alone needing a winch. True the better response would’ve been that it won’t do you any good unless you have trees or you have someone along. I have winches on my off-road vehicles, but I am not disillusioned enough to think that that is going to be the answer to every situation. When you’re out in national grasslands where you could encounter mud or in Rocky terrain, where the only thing that you could possibly hook onto would be another rock which there may or may not be one having a winch won’t do you any good?

[@AllTerrainFamily]

@@toddwillard8927@toddwillard8927 On occasion, I go off-road in places that have trees, not just this spot where I shot this video. And occasionally, there may be other people in the area, though I did not arrive there with them. Additionally, there are two things you could use in a treeless and reckless recovery: a deadman anchor or a Pull-Pall.

[@toddwillard8927]

@@AllTerrainFamily Agree with the deadman anchor point

[@Annie-zf7xi]

Did the brush bar have any affect on the front camera and tss?

[@AllTerrainFamily]

I relocated the front camera to under the bumper and this vehicle doesn’t have TSS. The front camera was an a mod, not stock.

[@wanderingdaze7018]

I wish the had a light bar cut out

[@robertfenner9094]

what year tacoma? i called warm and they can’t tell me if it will fit on a 23 TRD OFF-ROAD

2017

[@robertfenner9094]

thanks for response!

[@rickogden4512]

Wearing flip flops while moving the bumper on a raised floor jack is surely not the same preparedness you take of road. It was a great video up until the flip flops, then ya lost me. I kept thinking of movies where Mel Gibson had his toe squashed with a sledgehammer. Help me out here, I can't remember the movie name.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

Braveheart.

[@rtreefanaticff6468]

you made things so hard for yourself by the way you installed this thing. good video but next time do a little more research.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

How so? I followed the directions.

[@robertyoung8289]

The music is unnecessary and annoying.

[@clarin3318]

My headache got worse.

[@rickygutierrez9820]

haha you guys just jealous you don’t have a tacoma or bad ass bumper haha. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
