Man, and I wondered how Unstoppable Morgan could do it in an old Bronco... I couldnt imagine trying to pull it off in a Prius.
I’m curious too, the lift alone people report mileage increase, but the consensus on adding bigger tires is a 6-10mpg hit.
tubular bumpers too please k thanks bye
This might require investing in more tools than I want. Really don’t know anyone that can fab shit up.
Just received a delivery notification for the last of my tires. Install coming soon.
I could make tubular bumpers, would just need a bigger die for the bender.
wont work with how the prius bumper is. the bumper cover is also the front grille around the emblem and such.
I think something like this,but all tube construction. Change that upper "stinger" bar to just go straight across. Relatively few bends Standoffs coming through the bumper on the two tow points, two more standoffs through the lower grill attad to the lower rad support. Obviously shaped different to contour to the car and where the fog light holes are at toward the outside. Its got to be relatively light, i really dont want to hang more than 60-70lbs out there. 1.25-1.5" tube would probably be plenty. Other shit to spend money on first, this is just dumb
this looks good too, but way more complex with the compound bends.

That Subaru is the same way, silver part under the headlight is the old bumper along with the grille. I’d think you could pull something off at the bottom of the lower opening, though those side lights might be interesting.wont work with how the prius bumper is. the bumper cover is also the front grille around the emblem and such.

I think I may just try and hand bend some schedule 40 1.25”. I’ve got a big rigid bench mounted pipe vise with bending rollers built in. I’m going to grab a stick and see how much of a hurculean feat it’s going to be. I could build the entire thing at work then.
