    Thx.
    If and when I go to sell it, it will be $499. A savings of $170 if it was shipped from ap in hemet. It's just a few months old. Love it. Just browsin plate bumpers. Persoanlly I like the tube over plate.

    Picked up a Warn M8000 winch last nite from 4x4 parts in indianapolis. Got it mounted and it looks pretty sweet mounted in the all pro tube bumper. Took about 3 hours.
    However The mounting tabs for the fairlead were way below center and I had to drill new holes in the fairlead. Pretty pissed about that and wondering why All Pro would put the 2 mounting tabs waaaay below center.
    Gonna call and ask. Pics up later.

    oh...and after we got the winch mounted, we hung the tacoma from a tree. Pretty sweet!!

    WOW! Great build!

    I was planning to just lightly mod my Taco. But after seeing this I have a strong feeling I'll be putting a lot of time & money into my now stock PreRunner!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks!
    I need to update my pics. Picked up a warn m8000 over the weekend and got it installed and need to weld some tabs on the bumper for 2 more lights.
    Not alot of money spent on mode.
    just got back on sunday from a 1600 mile round trip up to see the folks and gram in indiana and getting a decent 18-20 mpg. Been a good ole truck.
