cool rear cage

I want to duplicate the original cage
so I can still use the original bed molding
and my dinky bedsides.

thanks... but it's only partially my design.

I purchased some pre-bent bumper pcs. (both FR/Rr)
from Mattzilla, that he designed/offers for fitment to the Hilux bodies.
His design is too narrow for the Honcho body...

so they were slightly modified for my wants/needs
so they would fit to the Honcho body.

Thanks to everyone who is participating

I'd rather see 10 custom homemade bumpers
then 100 ready made bolt on bumpers.

so let's see more

I'm using my 220/240v mig welder...

Yeah I read thru that already.

but you probably don't want my criticism....
even if it were constructive. Lol

as long as it works for you... it's all good

@ zonkerd ...nice work

Edit: initial search failed to locate a similar thread

but in searching further... I did find one that is similar.

so here's that link to: another "custom bumper" thread

Original scx I got when they first came out, I made F & R bumpers out of 3/16" solid rod and shelving brackets(that slide right over the ends of the frame) All mig welded.

This is the only good pic I have of the rear, it's an old pic but still relevant.


And the front. Also not a bad shot of the home brew sliders.
