Probably the best pickup builder on youtube right now

[@madcratebuilder]

No doubt.

[@carholic-sz3qv]

i 100000% agree with you, very detailled work. this bumper is just a masterpiece

This is my favorite channel.

[@jimmadonna1436]

Agree with that comment!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks guys!!!! Glad you enjoy!!!

[@ronthompson2366]

That really came out looking sharp. Super glad to see one built that is not all loaded up...winch, bull bars, excessive lights... very clean and distinctive. Some what surprised you did cut out your company logo. In a discreet, small location... you designed it market it. Really enjoy your programs and always look forward to seeing what's next.

[@willb3018]

Can't wait to see the 33s and wheels. Black wheels will work great with the black bumpers. One thing you could consider, is essentially a black wheel with body color painted accents of some type... a stripe or whatever depending on the wheel. For example, if using a spoke wheel of some sort you could leave the face of the wheel black and the inside of spokes body color. Just a thought.

[@pillow62]

Lucky for you I'm not your neighbor because I'll be at your house everyday bothering you to teach those metal welding, bending and artistic skills. The bumper has a fierce design. Good work.

[@austinniemela]

Haha thank you man!

[@bobthebuilder6315]

Nice job again, as for the strength of the bumper remember all the angles and triangle shapes creates more strength. This bumper will be way stronger than most think. The stock bumper is basically a stamped piece of a little heavier body tin.

[@austinniemela]

Yes people do not realize this! The 1/8 sheet goes from flimsy to quite sturdy with the triangulation! Plus the 4 frame mounts!!

[@gregjohnson4760]

super excited to see the rear bumper build. crazy to see how far this pickup has come already.

[@austinniemela]

Moving a little faster on this project!

Thanks!

[@claysisson4627]

Great way to take trucks that hold their value so well and give them new life. Those Tacoma’s and that 4Runner will last forever. Some of the best looking trucks on the road.

[@austinniemela]

Yes i love these toyotas!!

[@claysisson4627]

@@austinniemela one option for the seats next time - there is a company in Hawaii called Wet Okole. They make custom seat covers that match extremely well to Tacoma interiors. I have owned about 6 sets for Tacoma’s, Jeeps and F150s. They last forever and are easy to clean.

[@bobevans6590]

Who would thumb this down? The people that build bumpers? Sweet job!!”!

[@realaussiemale567]

People who get paid to make these types of things and now feel guilty about doing a half assed job, while being paid.

[@davidzimmer2694]

Outstanding fab work. This bumper is fine for anything off road and I'd throw a winch on it as well, maybe beef up to a .25 base plate for the winch anchor. Great job man.

[@larryleerssen2562]

You always finish each step, never just good enough. Very refreshing to see👍

Magnífico trabajo Austin, en verdad me encanta la dedicación que le pones a lo que haces, creo que intentaré fabricar esa defensa para mi Nissan 92.

Had my doubts on those blinkers until you turned them on. Nice and bright!

[@austinniemela]

That turned out fantastic Austin! I will absolutely use what you've learned with the raptor for my future projects.

Best DIY bumper I've ever seen bro. Keep it up. Can't wait to see the rear bumper. Please make a set of plans for that too

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! That’s the plan!! 👍

[@willb3018]

Agree. This is much nicer looking than commercially made versions. The guy does good work.

[@LiquescentAdventures]

enjoyed this build, I don't have a Toyota but im in the process of restoring a VW syncro and looking at bumper styles and really like the idea of using cardboard as templets. Also before immigrating to Australia I used to live in Spokane, used to heavily off-road around mica peak and modify my old 1979 Dodge ram charger that I swapped out a 318 and slapped in a 440. Miss the sheer power of that old beast but fuel back then was sooo much cheaper than these days!

[@rajincajun3068]

Great job on the fab work and the care you took for applying the Raptor liner. The only thing I just don’t care for are the led turn signals. But great work! Can’t wait to see another update on the 4Runner! 👍🏼

[@philgriswold2133]

Who does a SEMA quality paint job on the backside of a budget build bumper? Austin Niemela, that's who.

[@austinniemela]

Haha gotta make it right!! Never know who’s going to poke their head behind the bumper 😂😂

[@philgriswold2133]

@@austinniemela I did telephone work and then later on, IT networking. When people asked why I did such neat work in cable closets that most people would never see, I always said, I'll see it and that's what matters. I feel like your that way too.

[@p.t.anderson1593]

I recently picked up a semi-beater Lexus RX300 and I'm thinking about having some fun with it. Now, it's never going to be a serious trail rig or anything but I think I could do some exploring with it. I did want to mount a small to medium winch to the front and a 2" receiver in the back. A set of fabbed up bumpers like this would help. I've learned a lot from watching this. Thanks for posting!

[@ricciodrake]

Bumper looks amazing, styling and raptor look professional 👌

Love the bumper it looks strong enough to move a house much better looking than a stock.

[@dandahermitseals5582]

That's a beautiful project. Your prep for the Raptor was outstanding. I wish I had a shop like yours. Funny thing is as I started to watch this build it never crossed my mind you weren't building a winch bumper?? Looks better than the factory. Did you Paint the truck with Raptor?? Maybe you did a video? That's a great looking Toy. Very "nice". Mine is a lot more monster than yours. 6" lift on 36x13.5x15 SuperSwamper I Roks n rock sliders and all armored. Flat primer grey. Dandahermit

[@offtherichter7]

Awesome yota build man, that bumper is so sick. Strong work

[@rcsanks]

Bumper and the truck look great! Instead of just the separate harness for the cube light in the bumper I would run a relay off your headlight power to run them as factory style fogs not just a push button.. Then you can have them turn off on high or low beam or have them on for both, but when you turn your headlights off they will also turn off. Then they would act as a factory style fog light. But that's just my picky opinion. Still great work!

[@mikescudder4621]

Nice job bro. I don't even have a truck but loved the design of the bumper and stayed around for the skills!!

Holy bad-ass, black, bumper, build Batman!!!!!!!

[@zepm7184]

Hopefully with the second mounting location (4 total) it will be stronger than ones I originally built for Grand Cherokees. Those had just two mounts but the mounts where 3/4" thick steel plate. Believe it or not those 3/4" mounts could bend in a side pull from a winch or the clevis. Later went to box tube for the mounts. Looks great though. Brought back memories of the old days in my garage.
