The rear bumper is about 65lbs aluminum, 130 steel.
 
I'll take some more pics this weekend and post. The photo Eric posted includes my hitch mounted bike rack (so no one wonders what that is hanging off the back).

I was wondering when you were gonna make 4th gen stuff. Been following your work on TW, you make some awesome stuff! Any way I can see the bumper in person?

RPD1103, looks like your from Cali. Where?
 
I like the idea of the lighter aluminum rear bumper. Also wonder how it would look color matched? Sometimes I think the big black bumpers look to obtrusive.
 
Great to see another rear bumper option for the 4th gens.

I'd have to see way more pictures, especially a side on shot...but from what I see in those pics, I like the lines of it on the sides and the fact that I can get it in aluminum.

Two things that bug me about it is how far it seems to stick out rearward past the tailights and the hitch plate seems large and obtrusive and looks to hang low.

I'm guessing it is bolted flat against the rear crossmember which limits it to sticking out a set distance, bit the areas below the tailights just seem to be sticking out.

I realize that the hitch tube is merely below the main body of the bumper which places it in a position as high as it can go...but maybe an option of having it in the main body of the bumper and the customer can cut the hole in the crossmember for the hitch tube to pass through?

Definitely interested in seeing more.

If you want to come by my shop in sparks, sure. :)
I've still got the steel template bumper sitting in the shop that just needs to be finished. I made the first one out of steel so I wouldn't waste a bunch of experience aluminum and so I can make a jig as well

Im headin to High Rollin customs in the next week or two, ill definitely stop by while I'm in town!!
 
Im waiting on seeing pictures of it flexed out, Im wondering that it being so tight to the body panels Im affraid it will make contact, Im not sure how much the frame rails flex, the front is crazy lol

BUT, Im soo glad to see other options :beer:

Cool, just give me a call so I make sure I'm around the shop when you're in town

I don't think it will make contact, and if it were to, there is room for adjustment. His is mounted as tight as my design allows. The front of the Tacoma flexes like 1/2-3/4" but the rear not as bad so I'm betting its the same with this runner(especially with the massive rear crossmember)




I admit I think that's the coolest rear bumper I've seen on anything.
Thanks for the huge compliment.

Looks great, can you also custom one with a 3" body lift?
What's the price listed for and lead time?
Hmm, not sure about modding it to fit with a 3" body lift. I'm thinking a 1" BL mod would be doable, but probably not 3"
Pricing starts at $1049 steel, $1269 aluminum.
I am interested in pricing for the rear bumper also. Any plans on making one with a swing out?
There will be tire carriers available for it in the future. :)
 
Very interested in Al option but only when the tire carrier piece is worked out and available.

I'm assuming the recovery points would have to be quite substantial compared to steel.

Looks really well executed though; nice job !

Understandable since tire carriers are necessity for larger tires on 4 runners IMO. No room to just mount it underneath, and no truck bed to toss it in.

Aluminum recovery points are 1" thick and 3" tall, vs 3/4" thick and 2.5" tall. They're waterjet cut from 1" 6061 plate, and welded to an internal gusset in addition to the face of the bumper
