New Bumper Mod

[Crab o' nasty]

Can i please get some FEEDBACK

Ok guys i need opinions. Now keep in mind that this is a MOCK UP. I will being using this model bumper but not this dinged up one. 2, The true fitment will set the bumper 2 inches lower when finished.

3. Most important. I am using a stock bumper (i still need one anybody) for the uppersection. I am going to shave an fill the stock bumper so it is full and no gaps so that the 2 upper and lower bumpers will mesh well.

Now that you have read the instructions to the pics, give comments. I didn't like it at first but it is def growing on me....

Is that an old Tacoma bumper?? I really like the way it looks on the front of the box!! I'm just having a hard time seeing the big gap filled. I think it will definitely turn out interesting though!! Can't wait to see progress pics!!

[Crab o' nasty]

hehe FORD ranger middle 90's i believe.... And yeah the gap is hard to get passed, but i think it is worth a try, i want to drag metal without blocks or laying frame, this was my guess and option.

You should stack the headlights and put on an Escalade Grill.....LOL...Seriously,It will be an interesting conversion.

Ok, Edward has a good point ^^^ That would be very very sick. I've yet to see an xB with an excalade front end. Either that, or go like a Range Rover, the current model.

Someone has done the new mercedes front end, but i want the lowrider look and well, i love the escalade front end but everyone in the lowrider world has gone this route. Here is a pick of the guy that did the mercedes front end.

kinda like a range rover atleast with the way the bottem bumper is.

not really feelin it. maybe if you did the whole front swap from the 'yota truck/ 4runner.

[Crab o' nasty]

4 runner is to wide, i am actually lookin at a early 2000 or lil older tacoma. That is the one that has looked an fit the best. This pic of mine on top is just what i had at the time for the test and mock up.

Thanks for the comments been waitin for a while for people to post up and it almost took a week. Thanks again guys.

i think the caddy front would be tight but kinda bulky for the lil box :Chien02:

[Autobot_tc]

I like the idea the escalade headlights would look hot tho.

[shrtBus]

i wonder if the liberty front end would fit ?

[Autobot_tc]

Yeah that would look good i bet.

[Crab o' nasty]

Problem with the liberty front end is it is part of the lights and grille, and i want to keep the scion grille and headlights, not because i like them but because i want to show that with maybe on or two exterior mods your ride can be sick.
I like all these ideas, but unless you want to undergo months of shop work and fitment, these just cannot be done. Plus i don't have full shop and i am doing this myself.

The new ford front ends would be sweet to but once again they are 1 piece bumpers and grilles, and they would never fit, and if they did they would be bigger than the rest of the car, same as the escalade. Thanks guys keep that input coming, giving me killer ideas.

[El_Jorge]

I think you can pull it off. Looks like it lines up pretty good with the stock body lines.

[Crab o' nasty]

Yeah somehow it did don't know how but i did something right, and to think the tacoma bumper is the same size aswelll. I think i amgoing to go TURD all the way.

hey ford has this wanna be scion xb the Ford flex it might line up that would be kinda cool ..

[Crab o' nasty]

haha i had that same idea shorty and well to wide, i was beggin for it to fit. that front end would be sick. I actually like that ford for some reason. GOOD CALL.

You know, you could always fabricate your own from existing parts. Wouldn't be too costly, would be a complete one off look, would allow you to pretty much encorporate anything you wanted, and still keep to what you mission is "show people that with little effort, your ride can be sick"

He was at asylum this year. Nice car, but if you are going to do it, do it right. The Mercedes front end didn't cover all the way on the sides by the wheels and it left wires and lines exposed. IMO that part wasn't that cool looking. Cover it all and you shall be the master!:smile:

[Vanniek71]

on another note Crab, I wished I had a garage like yours man, it would help out working on the box majorly! I have a 2 car right now, but nothing compares to being able to rip something apart and lay it out piece by piece!
