Toyota Tacoma DIY Tube Bumpers And Sliders. Ultimate Toyota Tacoma Build Episode 8

- Let's build some bumpers and sliders!
These Toyota Tacoma's have two big followings, over landers and rock crawlers. Flat box shapes make a lot of sense on an overlanding rig but in my opinion if you want your taco to look like a crawler you need tube.
Today we are breaking out the bender and the welder to give this truck some character. All this work had to be completed in about 3 days and as the paint is curing, we are heading to Johnson Valley California!
Unfortunately I had a memory card failure in this video but you still get to see overwhelming majority of the process. Thank you for watching! See you at KOH!

I went to the garage and threw rocks at my Tacoma after watching this build series. Super jealous!!
Tell ya what man..... I LOVE your videos. As soon as I see you've dropped a new one, I put it in my playlist for watching later in the evening (while I'm relaxing sipping an adult beverage). To be honest, I wish your videos were longer as they've got such good quality content. The best part, is you're not just bolting on over the counter parts, you're MAKING them. Not many other channels do that. The best BEST part, you're not a douchebag with a bad sense of comedy doing stupid things thinking it's funny or entertaining. Rock on man, hope to meet you someday. Cheers from Missouri.
Thanks man, I'm honored 👊. And thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive comment!
KDMax for the win!! I absolutely loved that tune on my Taco.
The KDMax tune is the cherry on top of that bad Tacoma sundae! Love it.
Absolutely in love with this taco. Not gonna lie I wasn’t super stoked when I saw you bought one because it seems like the same thing is always done with these. I sure was wrong, you’ve knocked it out of the park and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thank you!
How can you say that, every single jeep looks the same, just a giant square with big tires
@@2dollarDirtbikes looks the same vs. is the same isn't necessarily the same thing. Everyone I know is also pretty tired of JKs too
Yeah Nate was going to suggest KDMAXX tune I’m on 33s with stock gears and the tune is amazing fixing shifting and pedal lag is major but it does feel like a 20 HP gain 🤙🏽
"One off" means, only having to please one person. I do enjoy watching the skills and tools used to produce the look and functionality. Thank you
I just came to look at the grill and awesome paint work. Dandahermit
You will be amazed at the difference after the tune. I had a 2008 model for 14 1/2 years then got a 2020 model. Always told my friends I would pay someone $1K to give me my old engine and transmission back. Got the KD MAX tune, got my performance back for only $300!
You are a true craftsman, innovator & take pride in your work. I built a Gen 2 Tacoma Pre-runner & a 1987 4x4, IFS, Class 2000, MORE desert race truck & have the utmost respect for your skills & talent. You’re a 10+ and out class all the other wanna be’s. I’ll be out at KOH for my 10th in a row & pitting for the 4664 rig. See you out there.
Paul tuned my truck about 6 months ago. its a night day difference. still love it.
Don’t matter what you film Nate, I’ll watch it bro. Damn good job bro!
the truck looks so sick
Tacomas are a gorgeous truck and have made it way cooler!
Your cinematography has always been great
The fab work on this channel is the best on CZcams. For a new yoter it’s cool.
Looks like an old school trophy truck. Awesome!
Turned out Fantastic Nate!!!!!! Bumpers look great painted black. I don't do youtube for a living but I have lost footage due to various memory failures. Sucks for sure. Your video was still a great watch. Don't sweat it.
Man these are the bumpers I want. That is such a sick ass Tacoma!
The wrap on this Taco looks beautiful, The front bumper looks good just tacked
Front bumper looks like a smile
Your channel is awesome man!!! I’m 37 and it reminds me of the old school Power Block from Spike TV!!! The quality I mean!! Your videos look like a tv show man!!! It’s awesome. Keep up the great work!! All the best to you and yours.🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
That is the sickest taco I've ever seen
Empire is awesome. They have super customer service.
This is one sick taco, cant wait to see what it can do on the rocks.
I'm a fan of tube as well. I like the light weight look.
I'm not a newbie I've been a mechanic for about 35 years I'm retired now I used to do a lot of off-roading when I was a kid but basically it was taking a stock truck slapping some big tires on it and going out to playing breaking a lot of stuff. Now that I'm a bit older and I finally bought my dream truck I've got a little well not a little a lot of inspiration from your channel I like the way you work I like the way you explain things and I've been a subscriber for over a year I found your channel accidentally I actually first saw you with somebody else I can't remember what channel it was but I want to say I got a lot of respect for you I love the stuff you build the Tacoma build is really cool but I'd like to see you get back to the Jeep. I want to see the updated diesel and this new transmission you're talking about I just really like that machine thank you again for your videos and how much information they pack look forward to seeing much much more from you
I really like the tube and yes the rock sliders got that perfect rock crawler fit and finish. That truck has came a long way. It really looks great 👍
Absolutely LOVE that you ran tube bumpers.They look great. As well, running the front in combination with that cradle is slick, the winch is well tucked.
Much respect for even in the crazy time crunch you have, you still manage to make a video and keep up on your schedule for videos. True professional!
Also love the edit of this video. It has the same time crunch vibe as what you're going thru to get everything ready.
#respect
Thanks man! I was definitely in crunch mode, glad that came through in the edit 👍
Bro?! Bro?! Ish is looking DOPE AF!
I love the fabrication aspect of the channel. Gives me ideas and inspiration to get back in the garage and do some work. Overall a well rounded channel of build and test.
Anyone else miss the rock crawling videos?
That thing looks so awesome! Love the look of the bumper
Best looking Taco I have ever seen. Great video just like normal
That’s going to be a beast. Just need a taco box now
"Badass Toyotas rolling around on the rocks"
...someone consulted Franz
The front bumper is so simple but so Rad! Nice Vid as always!
Absolutely loving this build. Can’t wait to see some footage of it out on the trails
Absolutely killed it, nailed it. Looks great can't wait to see it off road
You are an Artist at what you do.
WOW, Taco looks GREAT! Well done Sir!
I hope you get a chance to meet up with Paul from FabRats. You two seem to be some of the best folks and have probably THEE best fab channels. He's supposed to be at King of the Hammers as well with his old/new FJ crawler. It would be cool for you two to interview each other. Paul's so humble, though, that it might be hard to get him to talk. But he loves family as well and, along with your love for fabrication, you have that in common as well.
I also love that you haven't just focused on the Jeeps. You have quite the quiver of vehicles in your garage. It's also awesome that you bring in the pros when you need.
Truck looks absolutely killer!
Such a bad ass build! This truck has personally restored my faith in IFS.
The Toyota is so gorgeous. Love it.
My god that truck is sick! Love the wrap & the tubes look awesome.
One word BEAUTIFUL
Not even gonna lie I’m subscribing because of the bender sticker
Looks awesome, speechless. Took a why did you but that truck and made it into “ I want one now truck “
I am normally not a taco fan, but man this has been bad ass 🤙🏽
Bumper are badass
Thanks!
So amazing to see more built IFS crawlers
You'll be glad you went .120 wall DOM when you are at the king of hammers!
This looks fantastic! I absolutely love the wrap choice, and the bumpers look terrific. It must be so satisfying to be able to just grab some tube and weld up such cool parts, I really respect your skills.
great build, cant wait to see how it does!
Thanks! Me too!
The truck looks on point, can't wait to see it in action.Fab work turned out nice
I love the zip tie trick for tacking the lower bar on the front bumper.
and the bar for the rear bumper. it was a " that's an easy solution I'd never thought of..." moment
@@johnthegiant320 100% I’ve been fabricating for years and never thought to use them for that. I guess I love my clamps too much.
@@paulkimble4548 everyone has their way, and sometimes you learn something cool. :)
@@johnthegiant320 absolutely I can’t tell you how many cool tricks I’ve learned on CZcams over the years
Brother I love watching you fab. Great job Nate, as usual.
It looks great. Have fun at KoH
It always amazes me that you are able to build something better looking and more functional than anything available in the aftermarket in my opinion
I’d love to see that thing on the trailer, bet it’d look sick
This Tacoma looks so good bro it’s amazing
Things on this truck are coming together beautifully
Lots of talent. Great job at explaining reasoning behind decisions. Glad I found your channel.
Absolutely an amazing build
Looks great! You are extremely talented in your trade and very smart in letting us watch. Thank you and enjoy that crawler!!
Have fun @KOH bring back lots of content keep up the good work :)
The bumpers and sliders look great! 👍
That taco looks outstanding! I can't wait to see it in action. Great job!
Love the bumpers and sliders. Super simple and not looking bulky and heavy.
Love the Baja look
I absolutely love the tube styling!! This thing is really awesome!
It’s an “old-school” style and minimalist. Doesnt have a bunch of big bulky heavy angles and chunks of metal, it’s just tube, and it’s just where it need to be to serve it’s purpose. So cool
Awesome seeing this come together man. And mad respect for the hard work - I’ve totally had card errors before but the way you still pulled the video together was great. Good luck @ KOH!
Tubes for the win!!!
Dude!! The Taco looks like a Baja1000 trophy truck!! I’m a Jeep guy (I’ve got a JKU that will get built up someday, and a JT Rubicon) but I’m totally digging what you’ve done to the Tacoma. Your wife is a saint though, my bride would not let me do anything like that to our ‘21 JT and it has 12k on it - lol!
Love the fabrication videos. Gives me inspiration and I usually learn something new as well 👍
Rad taco. You have true talent.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! This is my favourite 3rd Gen Tacoma build i've seen either in person or online. You've got a great eye for mods Nate. Enjoy KOH!
Dang. This thing turned out fantastic. Well done.
Truck looks sweet! Love the red/black.
the knowledge i possess regarding your bed replacement is inspiring. i've been working on designing something similar for my build. Cant wait man!
It looks good, I like Tacoma's. Well at least it's not another Bronco build.
I would sure like to see you get back on your Wrangler in the near future. It's the main reason I'm here. Can't wait for your Jeep to be back running again.
Looks sick, I can't wait to see it flex out. Tell Marlin I was a 1st gen RCLT kit!! One can wish anyway.
Huge fan of this build! Enjoying the progress! Good luck making KoH!
Build is looking 200% mean!
Nate you always out do yourself! Great build. Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see it in action!
Awesome job on the taco. Can’t wait to see how it performs!👍
The little Tacoma has come a long way and is looking sick!👍
Nate, as always, complete wizard like bad-assery. 🤙 Fantastic job at making probably one of my most favorite Tacoma builds hands down and doing such a wonderful job at doing what you love. Good luck at KOH! Wish I could be there! Can’t wait to hear how it goes! Cheers bro! Have fun!
Nate, you never stop amazing! Great job on the bumpers and sliders! I was with you about being iffy on the front bumper but once you painted it, definitely keep it. I am interested in how much the tune helps. Have a good trip a KoH and enjoy the Tacamo.
Sweet looking Tacoma.
Love the original design and builds you do. Your truck is so well considered and I can't wait to see how it performs =D tubing looks killer =D
Dude this modern truck build looks bad ass man. The tube makes it look tuff. But looks sleek as well, it fits the body lines. . Love your work man. Have fun at koh I’ll be looking forward to those videos as well.
Nate, I’ve said it before… You’ve got some seriously excellent skills when it comes to building things…
I love watching your projects come to life…
Stay safe out there.
This build has me waiting for Sundays like a kid waiting for the ice cream man
The truck looks sick. Keep up the great work!
Thing looks frickin sick!
No doubt about it Nate, that is one badass Tacoma. The fenders, bed sides, and that WRAP, all put it together. Looking forward to seeing you vids from the Hammers.
God i would do anything to have you teach me your skills!!! Great work
