Homemade dropdown table on my new DIY 1st gen Tacoma bumper

I just built a whole new bumper and swingout tire carrier for my 1st gen Tacoma. After selling my previous one to help pay for the new transmission in the truck, naturally I needed to build a new drop down table for this one too! Here's how I did it.

This simple little addition makes all the difference when camping and I'm continually surprised just how many uses I find for it on a daily basis.

Here are some materials and tools i used.

-Table surface is 18 gauge mild steel. 14.4x43 inch's 8lbs
-3/4 x 3/4 steel tubing with a 16th wall thickness
-Two weldable steel hinges that only open 270 degrees
-4x 5/16th grade 8 bolts, washer and nylon lock nuts
-Black primer and satin black spray paint
- Total weight including hinges is 15lbs

Tools;
Welder Forney 220mp
Plasma cutter Forney 40p
Simple angle grinders, cut off wheel, flap disc and fiber disc
wood cutting miter saw with a steel demon metal cutting blade
1/4 -20 shockwave drill and tap combo bit
awesome Toyota sticker from @gun.rnr on Instagram
