Building The Perfect Toyota Tacoma Front Bumper!!

[@austinichini]

Austin, you should start a fab shop for early gen Toyota Tacomas and 4Runners. Film it while doing what you love. Awesome work man!

[@packingbone1953]

It would take up all his time he’d have to hire people and wouldn’t be able to make KZbin videos. A guy on Tacomaworld did that a couple years ago couldn’t keep up, took a bunch of peoples money and disappeared. I’d hate to see that happen to Austin.

Ты просто молодец можещ мне продат автомобил катори сам сабирал напиши свой номер

[@edwinthomas618]

@@packingbone1953 Everyone is different. Some things you say may have some merit. However, you can't compare someone failure to someone else. "When the dream is big enough the facts dont count". There is someone that proves your statement wrong in any business.

[@nonsequitur807]

Great idea! He'd be busier than a one-legged man at an ass kickin contest.

[@pacificnorthwest9416]

Dude, I love how you fabricate something then put the video out. So many people on KZbin would milk this for a 7 part series on how to make a bumper with a ridiculous amount of them talking things over and over. Keep up the excellent content Austin!

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!!

[@MussaKZN]

Haha some dummy’s take five videos to open a damn cardboard box..

[@PNWUpperLeft]

Your bumpers are flawless, they turn out amazing every time

[@endofd-d7c]

That’s his first time the previous two were bought off move

[@davidgoeken7993]

I liked the build on this truck! You took it to the level by your fabrication on the front bumper. The bumper makes the truck really stand out, no longer a simple looking truck.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you! I agree!

[@jimhunt5259]

Your cardboard assisted drawing (CAD) are awesome

[@antoniolawack3952]

Austin, I am a Music teacher from Port Elizabeth, South Africa and I possess absolutely no technical skills. I truly believe that while your outstanding work with automobiles and fab work are far removed from my world of music, I genuinely believe that we are both artists blessed with his own gift. I absolutely love watching you tackle fab work and I share your passion for Toyotas. Keep it up.

[@offtherichter7]

Definitely the sickest one yet:) that thing looks awesome man

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!

[@maddgoatee9708]

Bumper maker extraordinaire. Came out looking tough as hell. Can't wait to see the rear bumper and paint.

[@ZanyBuildCo]

Absolutely, positively, underrated. Absolutely bad ass, man.

[@AbFlwrs]

Budy you were my inspiration to make the both bumpers my self for my Toyota Tundra 2002!! Regards from Mexico!!

[@DuanDao]

you're editing is right up there with your welding and builds great job man

[@theosky7162]

Huge Inspiration ! As you have surely experienced, I've done a lot of searching for the perfect bumper on my off-road build. Lots of frustration as I've found design ideas I like, but fitment to my ride isn't available, or some detail just isn't right. This has been particularly true with the placement and fitment of the winch and lights I want. Your video has given me the confidence to build my own. Looking forward to the satisfaction and cost savings of DIY. Thanks and Well Done !

[@iMuyanCODM]

You make it look so easy , I'd give anything to learn from you

[@richmill6043]

Nice winch bumper. You make it look so easy when you build bumpers For your vehicles! You know you could build and sell that bumper. Liked the way it has skid plate etc.

[@andersrosdahl3466]

Seriously you have the best first gen content on KZbin!

[@garethl.2123]

Looks bad ass man. Looking forward to seeing more of this truck!

[@freeidaho-videos]

I salute your method and talent. Cardboard is outstanding. I save Wide Screen TV, Refrigerator, Matress, and other boxes just for this work. One tip, cut through one side of the cardboard for places that need to bend. Keeps the bend straight and the bend won't fight you.

[@ctech14367]

That bumper transformed the look of your truck along with the wheels and tires it went from ho hum to WOW, you got mad skills bruh.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man!

[@671967]

Man, I've been waiting for this video... Haven't even watched it yet. But your bumper building videos are top notch.

[@cehiiaranaraa6319]

Waiting for this for a long time.

[@dandahermitseals5582]

I can't afford the chop saw but I'm definitely buying that 7 ,1/4 saw. Would like to see how long before you need a new blade.

[@billocampo1365]

Man ! I wish you live close to us, you do a great work ! can't wait to see the next build..

[@siroliverdrab6067]

Just wanna say that you gave me the confidence to try and fabricate my own winch ready front bumper. I really hope i nail this lol but ive already started the template and hopefully it all goes well

[@ROLDYAJ87]

Amazing craftsmanship buddy. The lineup just keeps improving. That taco looks awesome.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks 👍

[@endofd-d7c]

This guy works flawlessly

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man

[@endofd-d7c]

Austin “no shortcuts” niemela I’m from the uk and just come back from vacation in Egypt and I was watching your videos there I have a 95 surf was wondering what’s the paint code for your big red

[@KenfurVinas]

I like the square tubular grille guard, looks sharp and unique.

[@officialWWM]

I love that hoop bar. I tried to build one just like it but trying to work out all those angles melted my brain 😂

[@arvindriddick]

You inspire me to start my own channel. Ur not only an awesome creator, ur also a fantastic teacher. Great work man. 💪🏼

[@scottblake6850]

Bumper looks badass nice job! Love your videos!

[@lyalholder871]

I mightve cover those big air vents you got in the skid plate with some grating or expanded metal, but as usual, the bumper kicks ass! Good job

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!

[@juannunez3057]

This truck is freaking awesome

[@connormatthew4733]

That bumper is sick bro! Great work as always.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!

[@justinfoy7514]

That bumper looks amazing. You should just clear seal it and run as is. Love the look of it.

[@ckimes13]

Very impressive work! I looked at your list of tools used and didn’t see the hole saw. I’ve seen that style on a few videos but don’t know what to search for to find them. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@maughmoto8874]

those 7 inch lights are great. very durable

[@C.V.C.494]

Awesome job man, I'm starting mine tomorrow so, you've taught me a lot. I appreciate that. Just wanted to let you know. Wish me luck and greetings from Costa Rica.

[@steventoshack618]

Good job on the bull bar mate.

[@cnotake]

Wow! That’s a beautiful bumper.

[@cookieintune]

U make it look easy , looks awesome

[@alexanderfainchtein8929]

Nice video and build , I wish to have something similar for my truck

[@bishop2355]

Was getting worried, hadn't seen a new video in a while. Glad your back!

[@tradeMark182]

Crafts man no cap , great build my guy

[@travismiller9213]

So awesome. Check out the freedom winch line from yankum ropes. They’re used a lot by Matt’s off road recovery. They have a really cool fairlead that conceals everything nice and slick.

[@kaleba5443]

Sick build man would be awesome if it could be purchased for us who can't weld and do all that fab work

[@user-ft2md2gd4s]

awesome building skills. the bumper looks menacing

[@clintbruce2171]

Sick bro💪🏻

[@Casey2]

That’s badass man, I like it, I’m a full time fabricator, that’s top quality work.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man!!

[@johnanthony1744]

Love your metal fabrication, very good skill. Really like your bumpers better than ARB and other Fabrication they make. I have a 2016 Tacoma some of the garbage they put out for replacement and the price of them I just couldn't buy them. You are very creative and really like your work.

[@craftyukraine]

That's an awesome result! I also like your editing style. Pleasure to watch. Awesome!😎👏🏻

[@austinniemela]

Thank you so much 😁

[@j5porte]

Amazing Man!!! Really really good Job!!! Regards from Argentina!!!!

[@codyalling679]

I need you to come out some front bumper plans for a 5th gen 4runner, love your work man.

[@luisfloster194]

so smooth

[@jsvallee567]

that bumper is sick man !!!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!

[@kingmouf-c1q]

You are amazing brother love your work.

[@bogotstogoskiing]

Wow! Beautiful!

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!

[@kealahau6727]

bumper looks very good....

[@scottkailey1]

Very nice design on the bumper and your editing skills have come a long way bud!

[@austinniemela]

Thank you! Always trying to improve!

[@dannyc2261]

This is like therapy. I wish i have a garage shop like that

[@92littlebluefox]

Nice work bro. Would look nice in hammered paint.

[@timcaskey6013]

Very nice finished product. That's absolutely flawless. Could use something similar minus the winch for my f350 rather have the place for a front hitch hookup to remove a winch if or when needed upfront.

[@edshoe73]

Nice bumper!!!

[@jeffb2456]

Great fabrication skills. Really enjoy your videos.

[@damnitdang]

Keep up the good work man! Appreciate all the videos!!!

[@peterbartlett4450]

That looks so good!

[@kasiew3772]

Badass and beautiful!

[@crazyoldgerman1892]

Master Pull is were you want to go for the synthetic line, they have exactly what you need. Everything you need for winching ,trust me.

[@jeepie1964]

It's really great how you made this one again. Nice work. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@MussaKZN]

That’s a good looking rear bar Bro.. You should clear coat them just to show your perfect fabrication skills..

[@Ghost-rw5jr]

Nice job, looks great. Love the look as is. Are you worried about a rock or road debris coming up through the vent openings in the skid plate? I would feel better with a perforated plate or vented plate there to keep foreign objects from going into the lower radiator.

[@neffwai]

Sweet setup bro 👌

[@graciemiller9596]

Nice job.

[@diyjeff1838]

Nice work!! I agree. Best bumper.

[@kodyturchon3954]

Have the newer version of that winch with a synthetic cable saved my ass many times in the woods . Nice job as always

[@TeamTopKick]

Looks awesome.

[@henrytorres3673]

Buen trabajo amigo 👍🏻

[@x5or]

Great and Lovely work mate 👏 I also built my own one few weeks ago but differently

[@brandonknight7240]

Awsome bumper wish i had one

[@austinniemela]

I sell the plans for it! www.avrcustoms.com

[@marcustomz]

Nice Work 👌🏾

[@diegoalonso225]

Love your bumpers!!!

[@rubenc7858]

SICK!!!

[@rykerweld3914]

Very nice job!

[@SeizedBCG]

bumper and rig is rad, awesome work!

[@thegonger1]

Wow, that bumper looks great! Can't wait to see the rear! You are going to end up liking the Tacoma so much that "Ole Red" is going to end up sitting in the shop. Great job Austin as always and enjoy the videos of your builds! How much extra weight did the bumper put on the front end, did it compress the springs more?

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! The bumper is just over 100 lbs so not too bad! With the winch it dropped the front end 1/2”. I am swapping to a synthetic rope as well

[@jackmarsh7328]

Great video but i will recommend to cut slot for the recovery point and weld it inside and outside for more strength

[@paultopnotchfishing7506]

Now That is a Bad Ass Bumper! Killed it Man🤙💯🔥

[@akaripbros3088]

Looks beautiful man👌🏻🤙🏼

[@MrStuffdude]

Looks awesome! Might have missed it but would love to know, do you need to disconnect the battery when welding on a car bumper like this? Well done

[@BoogimanBoogiman]

Nice work bro🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@egx3713]

Love the finished look. Don’t spray it black, just spray a clear coat to make it a stone washed finish!

[@kelvinweatherspoon3498]

Love this channel!

[@beloved_lover]

Awesome! Can’t wait to see more!

[@OICU-zh5on]

Very nice!

[@allanwagner4570]

Austin Your fabrication and mechanical skills are fantastic If only you were a JEEP guy😂 Seriously fantastic skills bro

[@TATARBaraCudaPM636]

Very good❤❤❤

[@dezfan]

Our wheels preferences are different, but our bumper design aesthetics are spot on! 😎. Body color fur the bumper? I think it would look great! 👍🏼

[@austinniemela]

I’m going raptor black on the bumpers. Thanks!

[@tamarreid6802]

Austin return of the mack
