What is the benefit of this mod?Did this in 1/2hr and wanted to do this from Jan. Didn't even know there was a write up for this mod until last night. Lol great minds think alike. Well here it is
So it doesn't get hung up on a rock?What is the benefit of this mod?
Not to mention, it's FREE!So it doesn't get hung up on a rock?
Just did it because it did happen to me this past weekend
I seen on a thread not sure where but the dude cut the ends of the hitch and welded it to the frame, not sure if was a good or bad idea but it looked super clean, I kinda hate the look of some of the tow hitches mounted on the runners makes the rear end look mento lol

Used a cutoff wheel. Faster than the dremel. Taped it off first and did the cutting after. Cutting and taping took about 5min. Not bad for FREE.What'd you cut the bumper with? Angle grinder? Dremel? I want the cleanest cut I can get, but usually I prefer the angle grinder to everything else.
Don't weld so that would be a no go fo me and yes some of them looks like ads dragging.I seen on a thread not sure where but the dude cut the ends of the hitch and welded it to the frame, not sure if was a good or bad idea but it looked super clean, I kinda hate the look of some of the tow hitches mounted on the runners makes the rear end look mento lol
Yes it does and that's why I wanted to do it from the day I bought it.I have done that, it tucks the hitch up behind the bumper makes it look nice and clean.
I was just realizing that I used parts from 5 different TOYOTA vehicles.
01 Toyota Tacoma:
Front clip hood, fenders, headlights, marker lamps, grille, horns, and shift console with 2cup holders
06 Toyota Tundra:
Coils front YY, BY
Brakes calipers, rotors, and pads
95 4runner:
Rear swaybar links
97 Lexus LX450:
Coils rear
Rims 16x8
01 Lexus ES300:
Badges
Fog light stalk
Steering wheel/bag
Someone called it Frankenstein! So I'll just go with it.
That's why I love Toyota so much, because you can upgrade your vehicle to make it better by using OEM parts from other TOYOTA vehicles.
Rajah dat! Can't wait fo go back home! It's been to long all ready.Hahaha that's why I said mix plate runner in a previous post
Thank you and the paint was Rust-oleum black paint spray can. I just disassembled the whole bumper to get under and over. Didn't want to mask it off. It would of taken longer I think. Plus I sprayed front and back of the bumper to prevent rust.the paint looks great, nice work...what did you use?
