This man needs a fab shop who ASAP who agrees ???

[@maximusgriffiths4507]

My favourite way of using Cad. Cardboard assisted design. Kick ass bumper set my dude.

[@ronthompson2366]

As always it looks great. That little truck and the entire transformation looks great. I think I can see a water jet computer table looming in the future... along with a paint booth ... metal break and sheer... dip tank for hydro dipping... tubing bender... lol.. the future is all yours and you have shown the talent to make it possible.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you I appreciate that!!

[@ronthompson2366]

@@austinniemela Your welcome. Looking forward to seeing what's next....

[@markreimers5396]

Agree with @Ron Thompson. I would really enjoy having a local friend with Austin’s shop and skills so I could learn firsthand.

[@clayfist4033]

You’re doing a good job on all your videos I love the way you made your bumpers front and back make sure you put rhino liner on it I think it’ll be a lot more better trying to get up in your truck because I will have more grip have a company spray it you’re awesome keep up the good work can’t wait to see you next one thank you

[@RobBread1]

That rear bumper is beautiful. Amazing.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@ТатьянаЛарионова-ф7г]

PLASMA CUTTING MACHINES FOR SHEET METAL AND PIPES buy for yourself

[@willb3018]

You do have real knack for doing bumpers.

[@cehiiaranaraa6319]

the truck is coming out perfectly just need to raptor liner it and buy a new build some motor bikes will be fun to watch being built and modified

[@jamie8720]

Part Show Truck, Part Mad Max. Looks mean. Nice work

[@garethpeters5810]

So relaxing to watch you build things mate! awesone job! ^^

[@orlandodiaz2394]

nice job broth

[@jeremyr6844]

Homie just recreated TGE factory bumper

[@shawnsessa8730]

Thank you for all of your videos! Give me a ton of inspiration and new ideas for my build. Your channel is awesome!!

[@blues_trails_xklndr1026]

My brother those bumpers are look awessssome !!!!, I wish I had a shop to try and make them for my rig a 2006 Escalade esv that no one wants to make a bumper for, not Move not anyone else

[@neffwai]

Sick work bro

[@johnnycashh7148]

Looks killer...can't wait to see them sprayed!! 🦏 ?

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!

[@uneekspeed5416]

Beautiful work my man and I don’t say that much ya need those flowers 💐

[@diegoalonso225]

Austin, without a doubt you are a Bumper Guy! Your ability of creation and a good taste spot on you. You can open a success bumper company easily! Best wishes from Argentina.

[@donigor9549]

AWESOME! Austin, don't you consider painting it using powder coating? The black painting with texture is very resistant to scratches. Greetings from South America.

[@pinecreekkennels850]

Great job!

[@josjamar4500]

Awesome job......great 👌

[@DuanDao]

really liked that you cut that bumper. you were right it looked too bulky at first

[@davidbeaumont4455]

Very simple! I really like it!

[@jimkeyer3300]

Looks sweet looks fantastic looks strong

[@allenwilson9656]

Great lookin bumper Austin, the modified one looks much better. Now you need to rhino🦏 line them that would look slick. 👌

[@dimitrisgougoulias6753]

hello austin!good video and very very nice job!keep going!

[@kflo1219]

Not done yet…you will change headlights 100%😂👍🏻

[@Merritt3246]

I'm a Ford man, but that bumper looks great!

[@patbrown7813]

Hi Austin, ever thought of making plans for a larger vehicle? I have an 04 Suburban 2500 4wd, and want something other than stock, that I can incorporate a swing out tire carrier in. Then, down the road I'll do the front. Thanks for the great video

[@robertboyer5498]

That looks WAY better! I wasn't liking it in the cardboard from the side. I was thinking fold in towards the bottom, but that side fold is even better. Whole truck looks amazing.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@idahoredbeard]

Another incredibly good looking bumper bro. Can’t wait to build them for my taco

[@AlwaysSearching..]

Great job bro, looks mean! Adding the angle was a great idea, was way too boxy before

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! I completely agree!

[@norcoredneck]

Nice looking bumper.

[@tomswindler64]

Impressive build you are a talented fabricator.the front and rear bumpers are at another level.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!

[@1993Revhead]

You need a cnc plasma table already.

[@iMuyanCODM]

Mr Austin you're blessed 💯

[@martybauer9663]

You do excellent work.

[@BAcHIGU_]

This is pretty dope Austin! Between you and Nate at Dirt Lifestyle building bumpers making shyt look too easy!

[@trefunk3743]

Love your work, all I gotta say is, when the paint match comin for the bumpers?

[@wuttichaijaiwongkum1071]

Nice

[@frediefarmer]

Looks awesome. Great build..👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽

[@khairunyon1483]

good job

[@allenhorne7032]

Awesome Job Austin, that turned out amazing, just as the front one bumper did. Can't wait to see them finished up and put on the truck! Are you raptor lining, powder coating, or painting them? Also, what kind of socket wrenches do you use?

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! I’m going raptor liner! And I use craftsman wrenches

[@TheJazza01]

Again, could just clear coat that thing. Looks awesome. Hurts hearing it's not going to be wheeler though.

[@mrb1864]

Came out sweet . Really liking this truck & I wasn't that keen on it when introduced it . Was thinking about tapering in ends when you had it in cardboard but mainly as I thinking about matching design characteristics to the front one . End result looks ideal, think that factory look step adds the quality look . You think need a drain hole or 2 in that !? Will have a question to ask when you on the raptor next ...

[@abrahamantonsuncion4182]

excelent brother

[@ullispiess6436]

Hi Austin, I love your metal working care and detail ... I work at a shipyard and can easily recognize your metal working skills ... I have a Toyota Prado 120 2006 a nd would like to change my front and rear bump to match the mean looking style ... Since I live in Panama Republic of Panama it´s kind of hard to visit you for advice :) ... any chance you have in your library of templates something you can sell me that will fit my needs? If so... i can have it cut and bend imitating your techniques .... I will appreciate any advice ... Thanks in advance 🙏

[@mussehaybe8134]

Great work.i’m interesting

[@matthewlee2686]

If you ever get around to making some for a 87 toyota pickup. I'll buy some cut out plans from you. I'd like to have something like this.

[@matthewlee2686]

Get them powered coated

[@oddgeirbrateng5912]

Great job, as allways!

[@JoseRodriguez-wq3ur]

Great job man. I need for my taco can you make it for me

[@austinniemela]

I’ll sell the plans! www.avrcustoms.com

[@kaminsknator]

Can anyone educate me on why the different cutting methods? Why not just plasma everything?

[@jorgemendoza1503]

Great build!! Where did you get the tail lights for your Tacoma?

[@planeflyer21]

Howdy Austin! How are you liking that new Evolution circular saw? Looks like it is handling what you throw at it, no problem. Thanks for the vids, man. :)

[@coltreddick2524]

How big was the 3/16 plate to get all the dimensions you needed?

[@billocampo1365]

Looks great, but I think you forgot to cut the light for license plate

[@billhickman4826]

Austin you have done a fantastic job, these are the best bumpers you have done. I never thought you could build a cooler truck than the red one but this has turned out awesome truck. Did you build both bumpers out of one 4x8 sheet of 3/16 steel? I might have to try my hand at building them with your plans.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!! The front I used 3/16 and 1/8. I used maybe 4x5 of 3/16 for both bumpers

[@brasillivre4034]

Very very nice 👊🏼🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@nathankoroush7918]

I see a true metal break in the future.

[@pacificnorthwest9416]

I’m really on the fence about one of these saws versus a plasma cutter. I saw you switched and wondered honestly why?

[@austinniemela]

They both have their place! The plasma is faster but not as clean

[@SunShyne_Culture]

Bless up Austin, awesome works everytime bro. I have a 1st Gen 2005 Tundra and would like these bumpers on it. But I'm sure it's wiser than the Tacoma. Do you know by how much?

[@wesmills6182]

When you are using a cutting wheel and welding do you put any type of chemical protection on the paint to protect it from the sparks and metal fragments?

[@mohabdalwadood9369]

Austin please suzuki410😍😍😍😍🖐

[@dezfan]

Money!😎

[@yankacher2372]

[@YunisCamalov_002]

Good job man. But why don't You round the corners a bit, the result would be more good.

[@Stan-rj8ki]

Whats your rim/tire size and lift? Looks great

[@austinniemela]

17x10, 33’s and 3” lift

[@Shawn-rq4py]

Does your state require tags lights to illuminate the rear tag?

[@austinniemela]

Yes!

[@Liamteer48]

Hey Austin I’m in the Uk we have Ford rangers here the older types 2008 basically Mazda bt50 labelled Ford they are similar to your Tacoma’s there’s a shortage of solid bumper kits for rangers this old I’m thinking your stencil kit would do for the outer skin and just adapt the fixing brackets to suit mine have you any dimensions eg width I can compare to my bed width and how much are the stencils thanks love the vids 👍🏻

[@austinniemela]

Yeah it may work but no doubt would take some adjustments!! Thank you!

Доброго здоров'я привіт з Одеси.

[@jacobray8518]

What steel do you use?

[@trefunk3743]

I did mine outta 1/2" plate since it's going to be wheeled hard He used 3/16s plate steel for the rear as he states at 3:10

Better hurry and paint em before they rust…🤭😂

[@princenoah21]

What color will you make those bumpers? And will you 'raptor line' them? 😆

[@austinniemela]

Black raptor liner!

[@jasoncaston4557]

Man your stuff is great

[@thegonger1]

Great job on the rear bumper Austin as always! Another project coming to an end which is good and sad. I've watched this build from the beginning and also bought a part off of the parts Taco for my Tacoma which kind of makes me have a small connection to this project in a way. The truck is beautiful and you are probably going to have people asking if you are going to sell it, keep it! Look forward to the painting of the bumpers.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you man!! I appreciate it!

[@markreimers5396]

By the way, have you decided what you are going to do with the color of the wheels?

[@austinniemela]

I’ll find some bronze wheels one of these days

[@الضميرنورالهداية]

😔😔😔

[@markreimers5396]

Hey Austin Looks great. The minor adjust to the top of the bumper made a world of difference. Does not look boxy and corner of the bumper no longer looks sharp (comes to sharp point). Now the corner of the bumper subtle and softer. Awesome job!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! Yeah I’m liking the bumper after the cut on top!!

[@davidgoeken7993]

You're a truly a artist/ fabricator. Awesome addition to the truck. I would really like to see a rack on the topper with lights and the spare mounted on the top.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!
