ScubaFab Tacoma rear bumper

[Scuba]

Ahh yes, the wraps minus the high clearancing. Only thing is, bracing that would be a PITA.

Got the wrap arounds on

They stick out a little, But I needed that so that I can fit all of the 1.5X1.5 on the top of the 2x2 for the bedside protection.

More to come soon

Nice... Gonna tie it into the sliders? Like over the fender? Shouldn't be that tough to find someone to make some long bends like those in some tubing for cheap...

[Scuba]

The bumper is coming together (I know my PB is screwed, give me time please) but here are a couple progress pics..

Some people have mentioned to move the wings in cause they stick out, but after almost laying the truck over and having my bumper side wings and sliders keep me upright, they'll stay where they're at.

Tapered the ends, Gonna be a PITA to cap, but oh well.

Capped the ends for the 45* on the side wings

Here's how she sits. I will end up throwing some triangulation between the end of the side wing and the support that is there now.

Got the caps on the tapers from the 2x4-2x2, and also capped the side wing ends, so basically she's fully capped now..

Don't mind the dirty garage floor, I swept up when I was done today.

First thing this morning when I got out there I found a little square piece of scrap, and what do you know if fit perfectly in this awkward angle.

Bolted back up

So basically now that its all capped off I can start on the bedside protection. Originally I was going to go all the way to the top of the tail lights but I think I'm going to now go as high as just above the back up lights, or just under.
We'll see.
