    I'm buying a 98 Tacoma and am looking for a front bumper, with a winch mount, and a rear bumper with a swing out tire rack, and a roof rack. Any suggestions on the best place to look?

    What is the shady part? The Tacoma or places to get bumpers? I bought my 1999 from car max six years ago with 56 or 57 K on the clock. She runs like A CHAMP.

    Around $26,000 worth of unleaded in the fuel tank.
    Wait...is this the one about the rabbit with the pancakes on its head?

    Don't buy any parts until you buy the truck. Best would be buy a used bumper and repaint it.
