I am getting tready to have a prerunner bumper crafted due to a recent loss of my bumper haha and I was wondering how to take the measurements for the mounting side of things... and also how to mount the thing?

Would all the measurements be the same for position of mounting? I mean like from truck to truck?

And how do you design a skid plate?

 

i mounted my stuff to the stock locations. it bolts on so i can remove it whenever i want

 

hmmm thats a good idea haha... I still have the steel bumper (orwhatever it is) I just took off the lower plastic bumper... can I mount it to where tyhe lower bumper was mounted?

 

no youre going to take off the top part also. there are 4 mounting holes. 2 on the inside of the frame and 2 on the outside of the frame. use those and youll be ok

 

are you body lifted or no?

my bumper is bolted in to pre-existing holes iirc.

because mine is body lift specific, but i can try and get some measurements for ya if you are body lifted. if not, well i cant help lol

 

I am body lifted so that would be awesome if you could get some measurements... I had initially thought I was gonna keep the top part on? is that possible?

 

how much did that bumper run you?

 

mine was about 600. its a one off custom built by one of the top fabricators in northern nevada.


if i could build it myself it woulda been way cheaper. and yeh its possible to keep the top, goodysgotacuda's old ranger was like that

 

Yea thats expensive I know a weld shop here that should be able to get something for around 250... not as elaborate and nice as yours but... And I dont know wether to keep the top part or not... I like the way yours looks Im gonna get em to give me an estimate on something similar...

If you dont mind haha

 

keep the tope part FTW!

 

You should do one like goodys. His is pretty sweet.

 

sounds like mudding with that tacoma is getting rough. :D

 

hahah he didnt wanna go through it so i said what the hell!

Is Goody on here where I could get more pics of his bumper?

And I do think Im gonna keep the top part

 

I dont know if Goody is on here a whole lot anymore since he got his jeep and sold his Ranger. Try PM-ing him. I think he will send you what ever pics he still has.

 

Here is a link to more pics.: https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...-off-road.html

 

Well damn... now I dont know if I want to keep the top part or not... haha thanks for the link by the way!

 

Goody's bumper looked good, but I like Tys_4x4's better. Out of those two, I'd go completely custom.

 

Yea I really like Tylers and I figure since we're in two totally different sides of the country MAYYYBE I could borrow the look a little bit haha

 

hit up mike at the

thepiratelab.com
hes a good freind of mine

 

haha definitely! i'd be honored! lol

it would look great on your truck as well man
