Default Fabbing different bumper for Honcho.

Just putting together a new Honcho I picked up from MOCRAWLER....Thanks again. I built one when they first came out bone stock and loved it. Only I never really cared for the front bumper. So for this one I am going to try something different.

I still love the Tacoma shell...they just look good. I will probably end up Tubing the rear as well but just focusing on the bumper for now and see where that takes me.

Starting to cut and bend up some pieces.

I like the lines! Looks good following the grill like that.

I need to try my hand at brazing soon... my plastic front bumper is taking a beating, lol

I like the minimalist approach. Are you going to have any body protection out past the frame rails or keep it narrow?

I like the simplicity of the design. Less is MORE, ya know.

Love the design. Best part...it hides the servo while still functional. Nice job.

Hey guys I really appreciate it. I cant wait to get her going. I think I am going to have to trimming on the wheel wells to cut down on rubbing.

They look like normal axials with some custom delrin rings.

Like that bumper. Sure is simple and to the point.

I painted mine the same colors, but over the ugly green...
Going to be adding a bunch of rally decals to mine.

Keep up the great work.

that looks really good. I love that it's not protruding far from the shell.
