Coastal Offroad Dual Swingout Carrier Build | 1st Gen Sequoia | Part 2

[@PatriotNames]

This is exactly the set up I need for my Tree! Killer bro!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thanks man it's worked out really well!

[@appleguy6708]

Best Sequoia channel

[@treehouseoffroad]

High praise man thank you!!!

[@mijormin]

Learned a lot from your video and it really helped me build mine. Thank you!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Cool man that's why I uploaded it 🤙

[@photog1529]

Nice job. I have an older model '95 4WD Suburban with rear barn doors where the spare was mounted inside the vehicle at the left rear quarter panel. Bought a welder and practiced a lot before fabbing an entire rear bumper and tire swing arm. I also built a jerry can holder but may re-do it to include a second can. Those all-inclusive kits are nice, but not much available for my vintage vehicle so everything was built from scratch, with the exception of the hinge assembly. Would like to see your final after powercoating. Angling those side tubes was a nice touch.

[@treehouseoffroad]

I love those years of Suburban, I used to really want a Tahoe/Yukon of that generation. Sounds like a cool project do you have an IG or anything with pics? My bumper is shown finished & powder coated in a few of the later videos, I went silver to try and match the paint.

TY Sir! great vid

[@treehouseoffroad]

You're welcome Sir

[@sserna1077]

Man you did a killer job on this bumper and tire carrier and video, hats off to you bud.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Very nice of you to say, glad you enjoyed it

[@motube2389]

You’re truly inspiring buddy, love the energy. Keep up the good work and love your videos

[@treehouseoffroad]

Hey thanks for taking the time to write such a positive comment my man

[@FinallyMe78]

Awesome job. Exactly what I want on mine! Plus rockin' the flux core. No need to spend a ton on a welder or gas.

[@treehouseoffroad]

For sure man, work with what you got!

[@jasonthurman9922]

Is that a 110 welder? Curious that’s what I used for my coastal bumper up front. Forney 140 ez. Or something

[@treehouseoffroad]

@@jasonthurman9922 It's a 220v Lincoln 180HD, but it has the option of using 110

[@jasonthurman9922]

@@treehouseoffroad are you running it off of 110. I feel like everyone bashes flux wire hell that what I use most of the time cause I’m out in the driveway

[@treehouseoffroad]

@@jasonthurman9922 I run it off 220, I got an adapter off Amazon that lets me hook it right up to the dryer outlet. Let em bash, gas MIG just isn't an option when we're welding in our driveways. Especially where I live it gets super windy

[@MtnBnd]

Great wook on the bumper and swing arms. Makes me want to learn how to weld. Great job with the Video as well !!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thanks and go for it! I bought a welder during the pandemic and just started messing around. It's been a lot of fun

[@theflea52]

I just finished putting an aluminum rear bumper with dual swing outs on my 5th gen 4Runner.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Nice! I would have definitely went with aluminum if I knew how to weld it

[@josephchan7040]

aw dude. I love that handle. For a few months, I toyed with the idea of 3D printing one so I could clamp it to the lift gate (so no drilling). Never got around to it, but glad you had the same idea and actually did it. Great video otherwise!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thanks Joseph. Finally said enough is enough! Time spent thinking about doing the handle: two years Time spent actually doing the job: two minutes

[@FrankRazoOC]

Dude it came out so dope looks great 🙌🏼

[@treehouseoffroad]

Hey thanks Frank🤙

[@charlestraywick]

Looks great dude! I’m thinking about building a rear bumper swing out for my Gladiator

[@treehouseoffroad]

Gladiators are awesome vehicles! I recently got pulled out of a trail by a Gladiator on 40's when my transfer case gave out (shhh don't tell my Toyota friends)

[@brandtcarter8726]

I love video, I've watched every one of them so far. This might be the best one yet. It looks like you have no body lift? I was considering a 2" bodylift to help me fit 34", but I have the sway a way 3" front, SPC UCA's, extended sway links, spc LCA bolts, apoc trailing arms, eimkeith pck, and am waiting on the rear panhard(ships tomorrow). Wanted to know if you replaced body mounts with poly, or if you know which ones might fit. Almost nobody builds model specific parts for these(as I know you know), so just looking for extra pointers. Would love to see your build sheet and can't wait for your full vid of all the details.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Hey there thanks a lot. No body lift for me. I'm not against them but I personally wouldn't go over an inch. My original body mounts are in great shape so I haven't considered replacing them. If I was to do so I would probably measure them all up, find the ID & OD and look for a match. Energy Suspension has a pdf catalog that's massive so something's bound to be interchangeable. They also have builder's bushings and many sizes of universal pads & mounts. Another great resource is 4crawler. Dude knows his stuff. www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/ToyotaTacoma.shtml#Tundra

[@bern7250]

Nice Job! When off-roading, do you notice if the spare tire shakes or not as a lot of dual swing-out spare tire shake?

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thanks man, I haven't had any problems with the spare tire shaking. My truck does have some squeaks and clunks but that just comes with the territory. Luckily the swingouts are adjustable so they latch super securely.

[@TrashPandaGarage]

Nice work!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thank you!

[@xlazyjaysx]

Nicely build wish I could weld🙈

[@treehouseoffroad]

I couldn't weld either...until I bought a cheap welder and got to work. Just do it man you know you want to.....

[@TheTwoll86]

Idk if you came up with a fix or not for a the high lift but you could just run a wheel spacer on the tire carrier to space the tire out

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thanks man that would absolutely work. I opted to re-work the mount and bring the spare tire as close the back hatch as possible. I also angled it to more closely match the slope of the rear window. For now I just throw the Hi-Lift on the roof rack when I go wheeling. Appreciate the input!

[@DonaldReynoldsII]

U using gas? My first welding project was on COs rock sliders then front bumper gas and DCEP. Will always tack and remove bumper to final weld ..upside down welding sucked....thanks for ur work here I will be attempting rear and carrier next project...u will save me some grief...and they have great customer service same overnight parts that where missing...CO! Rocks

[@treehouseoffroad]

At the moment I'm only able to weld outdoors and it's windy where I live so no gas, flux core for the win! I agree, Coastal Offroad is a great company. I have an email thread going back and forth with Brandon with over 50 conversations in it. Thanks man glad you enjoyed it

[@Brother_Lander]

Hey man. For the front bumper, did you have to relocate the control box of your winch for it to fit?

[@treehouseoffroad]

I thought about it, but I chose instead to push the bumper out about an inch to make it fit. This is detailed a little in my rig walk around video.

[@Tsarkovsky]

My main concern on all these metal bumpers and extra metal frames is weight. It's crazy extra weight for little benefit. I still love how it looks but I feel like so much weight affect driving and gas consumption

[@treehouseoffroad]

Very true. Not so much driving, (with HD rear springs and decent shocks) but gas mileage for sure. I have no car payment so that's how I justify it

[@Tsarkovsky]

@@treehouseoffroad Are there aluminum alternatives? Would that makes sense to make it out of aluminum? All it does is hold itself and gear, do you think that would work?

[@treehouseoffroad]

@@Tsarkovsky Coastal Offroad makes the bumper in aluminum for $850 more, but not the swing out. I think it's a great option, I wanted to learn to weld steel before aluminum though

[@Tsarkovsky]

@@treehouseoffroad Thank you letting me know it's a thing, because I see only steel options everywhere

[@mattwernecke2342]

I like this but i have no desire to build it myself.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Haha I feel you brother

[@Rob-tl9md]

You tow with this? Would love to get it but i would need to tow a 4000lb boat.

[@treehouseoffroad]

I have not towed with it, Coastal Offroad says it's not rated for towing. I'm sure with some reinforcement you'd be fine

[@davehahn23]

Overall this looks great, nice job putting it together. The only thing I don;t like about the design are the 2 big brackets that are visible from the back sticking down. I know this is a do it yourself item and it is cost effective but it just looks unfinished to me. No offense as it has nothing to do with your assembly, just the design of the Coastal rear bumper for the Sequoia. It is the main thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on this.

[@treehouseoffroad]

No offense taken. Are you talking about the curved supports that reinforce the sides? Or the plates that cover the end of the frame rails? Either way I hear ya, different strokes and all.... alternative options are slim for now but I foresee that changing. Thanks for watching man

[@davehahn23]

@@treehouseoffroad yeah I was referring to the plate that cover the frame rails. Maybe a piece to go all the way across to cover them would work better, although I am not an engineer :) Either way, nice job on the fabrication it came out great

[@officialWWM]

There’s no way I’d ever mount fuel cans on the back of my car like that! Things could get very explosive in a rear ender!

[@treehouseoffroad]

You may be right although I don't think I've ever heard of it happening. With a 26 gallon tank I simply never need to carry extra fuel

[@officialWWM]

@@treehouseoffroad my dad was a fireman. He told me a story about exactly that happening as I was mounting mine to the back like that. I now use the cans for carrying water, lol.

[@treehouseoffroad]

@@officialWWM Your Dad sounds like a smart man...

[@officialWWM]

@@treehouseoffroad smarter than me 😂

[@fishmonger7020]

The ole eyecrometer. Mines is old and busted

[@treehouseoffroad]

Too funny! There's a restaurant in my hometown called the Fish Monger...they had a great open mic night

[@FullPcGamer]

Can you MAKE ME ONE?!

[@treehouseoffroad]

It was fun and all but you'd have to pay me pretty well to do another one. You're better off buying a welder and getting to WORK!
