Thanks for the review! A lot of things to consider, and you covered them all very well. Still gathering info about rear bumpers, this was a huge help. Be well and see you on the trails!
Great video. I just finished and installed the CO front bumper and think they did a great job designing such an easy to assemble kit. Thanks for calling out some of the design considerations to build in along the way. I do think locking the swing outs open would be really helpful, especially if you install a table on the back of the arms. I also agree that cutting the bumper end caps is a little weird. I may try to find some extra steel to extend the side up to the body line. Thanks for the great video!
Haha for sure! The NWT plate is pretty well hidden when the swing-outs are closed and really only visible up close, so I am hoping not to get pulled over ;)
LOL following up to your comment - got pulled over for speeding and they asked us to remove the second plate. They just asked us to remove it no ticket or anything, which we have now done. Also asked us to install lights that illuminate the license plate (that was a... fun... project, but done!)
Thanks for checking it out Mark! It's a great bumper overall and can't really beat the price if you're welding yourself or getting a buddy to do it for you.
Idk about the 4th gen but for the 5th gen they make a full size rear bumper and a lo profile rear bumper. Just bought the 5th gen full rear bumper and took it to my buddies shop to get it put together.
Update on my victory 4x4 rear bumper I was rear ended by a Honda Accord at about 25mph no damage to my rig little scuff I told my wife to get pic of the car it wasn't drivable got the radiator she didn't get pic 😔
Holy damn! I’m glad you’re ok and the vehicle is ok too. Those victory 4x4 bumpers look nice, just so expensive (especially in Canada). I’m still pretty happy w/ the coastal offroad considering the cost and the fact that it’s on my vehicle haha
By rigs almost 7k lbs so it literally was just a little bump a lady backed into as well about a year ago front arb bumper no scuff or anything but dented her car bad
Yepp looked into both Vistory and CBI, the cost was a big concern coming to Canada + border was closed (still is unfortunately) to Canadians going into the US so we couldn't just have them shipped to our friend's place and then get it there.
@@CascadiaOverlandCrew shipping wasn't that great for me eitherand the wait time isn't that great either it took quite a long time for them to build it it's a build-to-order kind of thing also going from Kalamazoo Michigan to Florida
@@CascadiaOverlandCrew I've been building for a while now onboard compressor lockers F&R&C all ARB snorkel as well and Baja designs lights upgraded Axel's upper control arms the list just goes on
Did you pick up the rim protectors? I actually use a chemical guys jet seal on all my wheels. But I'm going with Icon Stage 5 or Carli, and a full set of the same wheels in black. I wouldn't mind a set of Hutchinson DOT beadlocks but they're almost double the cost.
@@Troche571 hmm nope, running without rim protectors. I've scraped them on rocks and haven't seen any major scratches on them so far (knock on wood). Then again, we don't go rock crawling or anything in this vehicle since it's a more overlanding build rather than a hardcore offroading one. Same reason I didn't bother with beadlocks, unless you're going hardcore rock crawling I don't think beadlocks are really necessary anyways so why not save the money
I’m not a 100% sure but tbh it looks like it might work.. you can maybe reach out to Coastal Offroad and ask them but idk if they’d know for sure either.
Is there any legal issues with front and back steel bumpers going on Highway? I am hearing things now that it can be a issue. I live in Vancouver BC as well.
Nope, I know lots of people w/ front and rear bumpers and there are no issues that I have heard of. We got pulled over and the only issue was the license plate light, so I installed a couple of lights and the cop had nothing to say about the rest of the bumper.
Hell yeah! we were supposed to do a week long trip through Washington backroads but one of our own got sick so we’re hoping for a quick recovery and will be back out there filming some more very soon! 🙏 thanks for your patience.

Thanks for checking it out Todd! Overall, loving this bumper so far.

Thanks for watching! I’ve been thinking of solutions to some of the issues but been lazy about it tbh haha
Great review! Good tip about not breaking your rear window when getting the jerry cans!
Thank you!
Ordered one for my 5th gen 4runner. Thanks for the review!
Awesome! Glad you liked it Joel.
Don't let them catch you with two licence plates!

@@CascadiaOverlandCrew It was bound to happen. I'm glad they went easy on you!
This truck has come a long way mate!
Thanks man! I only put on things I think it needs rather than throwing money at it for no reason ;)
@@CascadiaOverlandCrew yep that's definitely the clever way to do it
Looks good my guy! Now time for the front bumper to match!
Thanks! Been thinking about it.
Thanks for the review! I've considered getting this bumper

Setup looking awesome 👌🏽
Thanks buddy!
Nice review. I’ve had mine a year and still haven’t gotten it built lol
Thanks for watching! Hopefully this inspires you to finally get to it ;)

Yeah I don’t believe the 4th gen had the full size rear option, or this is it. Congrats on the bumper! It’s going to look sick!

U should check out the victory 4x4 rear stricker bumper with dual swing outs for the 4th gen as well
U get what u pay for

Hahaha it’s a never ending list eh. my wish list is pretty long!
If I had that I'd weld a pipe to mount an HF spider beam or other type of fibreglass antenna support
Great video, I was looking at a full set for my Ram but I think I'll spend a little more on the Expedition One. How do you like your icon wheels?
Love the icon wheels! They look great and haven't had any issues with them - they don't scratch easily either

How much did it cost to have someone else weld it?? Would really love to know thanks
Well depends who you know, anywhere from $300-$1000
Thanks for watching everyone! Don't forget to subscribe for some overlanding videos and adventures!
what ive been wondering is if you can use a ladder system in combination with this bumper or not

Why is the video sped up lmao
It isn’t! Perhaps the settings on your CZcams playback?
