Bed extenders come in handy, especially if you're a moto guy like me and use your Tacoma as a race hauler.

I personally think the tail light guards are just useless junk you can put on your truck, but that's just my opinion.

 

any other opinions?

 

love the brush guard man.........bout to get one myself. the tail light guards aren't too bad................if ya like them...get em'. and as far as decals..........check out sockmonkey's work.................awesome decals from him!!

 

haha those are exactly whos they are if you want i can send a link to who sold me the brush guard it attaches at the recovery hook is easy to install and cost bout 230 bucks total

 

i have a bed extender in my truck....love it

i use it for everything i put in the bed from groceries, to mountain biking gear, to whatever.

they are not hard to install but do take a little time to get right

 

send me the link for the brushguard if ya have it handy!

 

for a 98-04 truck black http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-0...m14&_trkparms=72:543|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

they might get some for newer trucks later

 

cool...thanks, thats one of the ones i was looking at a while back. they dropped the price on these tho!

 

theyre quite decent, i wouldnt reccomend pushing anything with it though, its exactly what is states, a brush guard

 

yeah............if i was gonna be pushing anything...i'd get the shrockworks bumper, but i mostly offroad while going hunting and fishing, and i think it'll work well for that. and a good place to mount my hella 500's!

 

i dont really like those fire decals. nothing wrong with being proud of what you do but getting decals of a maltese cross with trd emblem is a little over the top. to each their own though.

 

I listened to my better half & drove 3 mile with my tailgate down once.
I now have a nasty dent/scratch in my tailgate as a reminder to listen to my inner voice the next time instead of the boss lady. A sales Rep was trying to talk me into a short bed double cab. When I pointed out the fact that the bed can't hold two bicycles he suggested the bed extender

Seen, done, did the rolling with the tailgate down.... once was enough....

 

I have an access cab and only ended up needing it extended once. But, when in normal position the bed ext helps create a nice little boxed off area for whatever needs to stay put, ie... cooler, groceries, 5 gal water bottles, Help's by not letting everything bounce all over the bed.

 

yeah i looked into the shrockworks bumper it was a lil pricey

but the one i have now does a good job, however if i ever hit a deer i think id replace with shrockworks, same if i ever can afford a new truck

 

here is the brush guard that im about to order........

yeah it looks good, the only thing id worry bout with that one, and mine is if i get into a wreck it crashing into my engine block and totalling out my truck

 

yeah...........with brushguards and bull bars........that is always something to think about. i may weld mine in place so it doesnt move to easily, but im not completely sure yet.

 

i didnt weld mine and it is quite solid, i got some locking nuts and basicly torqued them on, i have to take it off for a moment in a month or two cause im missing a recovery loop, and thats gonna be a sun of a gun to get off. and back on i have to custom order locking nuts in that size cause its in metric :-(

 

I've got the westin brushguard on my taco, here's a pic of what it looks like

and i wish i got the tail light guards too because of this

if i was you, i'd get the extender because dcabs are short on bed space especially if you haul atv's or bikes
