Great job! Straight to the point, no self promoting, and very informative. Thanks.

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed!

[@ddoghunt3471]

Best install of this bumper PERIOD 👍

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thank you!

[@OVRLND_E]

Looks good, You make it look easy

[@JoseAguilera-fp8mq]

Thank you for such a short and helpful video! It helped me install my bumper last night!

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

That’s what’s up man! Glad the video helped you out!

[@lawrence4385]

Super clean

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thanks !

[@scottyreed6348]

This is a super helpful video. Thanks for posting it!

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Glad it was much help!

[@scottyreed6348]

@@thisishowwedoitdiy2477 for real man, this helped so much. There are so many videos on how to do this but I ordered and installed the bumper using just this video. Worked great! Felt scary to start chopping within 24 hours of buying a 22 Tacoma OR, but this video made it less anxiety inducing

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Awesome man! Thanks for that ! Give it a like and share for sure!

[@Turtlemilk]

Are you able to install the light bar after the bumper is installed ?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

To be honest to install the light bar it’s easier to take the number back off then install the light bar, but that’s why I’m waiting for to purchase a winch and light bar to get them installed at the same time

[@north_borne]

Could we get a status update on how well it's holding up? I'm debating getting this considering it's $200-$300 cheaper than similar bumper designs from 4WP and Cali Raised

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

The bumper is holding up greaT! It’s solid! Power coated to perfection, no issues at all no rusting, no nothing! Gettin ready to do a video on a winch and light bar for it! Deff recommend this bumper for the price, will be installing rear BA bumper as well!

[@north_borne]

@@thisishowwedoitdiy2477 Thanks for the update! I'll definitely throw a subscription to ya to hear more. I find it hard to go for the Cali Raised or 4WP version when this one is not only lighter, but also anywhere from 2/3 to 1/2 the price of the other two.

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Go for it man! This bumper is great! You will be on your next mod soon!

[@BucksBe]

Great looking truck. I'm back and forth on if I want to install this bumper. I'm already getting such terrible MPG and this seems to just open up more holes that causes drag. Did you notice any drop in MPG or any difference in the drive at highway speeds? This bumper plus a winch is about the same weight of a small person on your front end. Sigh, love the look but not sure about the practicality. Thanks for the video though!

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

I did lose some MPG not going to lie but it was not much honestly

[@tacomafan5186]

Nice job. Well done! Is that an engine oil cooler or transmission?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Yes sir the coolant

[@tacomafan5186]

Have you had any long term problems as a result of relocating the cooler? Any damage or chaffing to the cooler lines?

[@lapinskyk]

I installed this bumper yesterday, I was wondering if the bolt under the wheel well for cooling lines is reinstalled? Mine didn’t line up right after the front of the cooling lines are pushed back.

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thanks for reaching out! No you don’t place that bolt back, the 2 bolts at the front that you installed with the new brackets hold it in place just right, Though the same thing when I installed mine and did a bit more research, you don’t need it

[@isaaclimon9215]

How did you remove the black bottom part?? I’ve been at it for 30m and it won’t come out.

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Are you taking about the black plastic part? If so, there are also some bolts toward the bottoms back of that plastic

[@davidcunningham8848]

Looks Amazing!

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Sure does !

[@muddnyreye]

Good job 👍

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thank you

[@jossuemorales8920]

Hi. I just installed the same bumper this weekend, the body armor hiline series by my own. Did you notice any MPG issues after the installation?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

I have not notice any changes honestly what about you?

[@jossuemorales8920]

@@thisishowwedoitdiy2477 I just lost an MPG.🙃

[@Mrbacon161]

What tool did you use to cut the bumper !

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

Thanks for reaching out, you can get this done with a Dremel 3000 series , you can find one at Home Depot, no need to get a very expensive one.

[@Mrbacon161]

@@thisishowwedoitdiy2477 awesome thank you ! I have a 2019 sr taco that I’m building up so I appreciate the super simple yet informative video !!

[@eleutwiler]

What kind of blade for the dremel tool? Thanks man

[@travblurr8043]

Does anyone make a bumper similar to the Body Armor that doesn't require you to cut the OEM bumper?

[@thisishowwedoitdiy2477]

That’s a good questions I’ve tried loooking, but have not found anything sorry

[@grewsgarage]

Nice man! I just did the same! Subed!
