If I was able to drive up from phoenix with my vehicle would that help with designing different attachment points for the bumper? I really like the design of your bumper but might have an issue getting a day off in-order to drive up or leaving my vehicle for multiple days. If you come up with any ideas let me know.

I wish I lived in socal! I would have my truck over to you in an instant. I love the look of your bumpers how they don't stick out very far, hang down too low, and the lines are clean.Originally Posted by Outdoor Logic
Well if I could get my hands on a first gen Tundra
What is the break down for Tundras
1st gen
2nd gen and so on
Yeah 1st gen is 2000-2006, 2nd gen 2007-now
If you are serious about building a bumper for us left behind, I would recommend posting a "want" post on Tundrasolutions, or even here. If there are other Tundraholics like me out there, I'm sure you'll have a 1st gen in your shop really quick.
If no one replies, I might have to make a trip down there next month on my spring break....

Nice looking bumpers!
If you would have been around when i was in the market for a 2nd gen Tundra bumper- I woulda jumped. Exp1 got me though (and i love it). Making sliders for a crewmax would get my $$.
You think a 5th gen runner bumper is in your future project line? Im in the market for one. Plate, winch mount, clevis', light/deer hoops. Limited sliders too.

Playing with models to see if we can keep it light with out jumping in weight to maintain the same strength. The catch with Aluminum ( other then cost) is making sure we can run similar thickness with out losing strength. Trust me I want to make one as I will run one on my own 3rd gen ( as soon as I find it)

Question... Would an aluminum bumper of the same thickness of the steel be as strong as the stock bumper?Playing with models to see if we can keep it light with out jumping in weight to maintain the same strength. The catch with Aluminum ( other then cost) is making sure we can run similar thickness with out losing strength. Trust me I want to make one as I will run one on my own 3rd gen ( as soon as I find it)
Picture if you will, a steel sub-structure that goes to the frame on each side, the shackle clevis's are attached to this sub-structure as well as the platform for the winch, and the aluminum acts as a cover for this structure, but with some extra sturdy side mountings to provide some side strength.
Am I making any sense?

That would be kind of an interesting idea if I understand your description (4runamok). So you would have the structural integrity of the steal but have a bolt on finished structure that would be aluminum to save weight. Is that what you were describing? That would be pretty cool to see.
