    I'm in the process of selling my older model toyota pickup and purchasing a tacoma. I'm looking at getting a 1996 access cab Tacoma with a 2.7L. I've been scouring the threads for different builds that I like certain aspects of. Bumpers, wheels, tires, lifts etc. Seeing as I've been to the extremer end of 4x4'ing already I want to build more of a all-round, expeditionesque truck. I have a few choices that I would like to request opinions on.

    I'm caught between these options:

    -Bumpers: Badlands Baja Tube bumper (http://www.******************/index_006.htm) vs. All-pro ( )

    - Wheels: 16" KMC Enduro wheels (http://www.kmcwheels.com/wheels/?siteid=3&groupid=36) in bronze or black vs. 16" Level 8 Tracker (http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/wh...o?r=WASINT|c|Bellingham&tmn=Tracker&typ=Truck)

    -Tires: 33" BFG MK2 (http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/tires/bfgoodrich/product/byName.do?r=WASINT|c|Bellingham&tmn=Mud+Terrain+T%2FA+KM2&typ=Truck%2FSUV) vs. Goodyear MTR w/Kevlar (http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/ti...ingham&tmn=Wrangler+MT/R+Kevlar&typ=Truck/SUV)

    -Rear Bumper: All-pro ( ) vs. trail-gear (http://www.trail-gear.com/tacoma-rear-bumpers) vs. marlin-crawler (http://www.marlincrawler.com/armor/rear-bumper/tacoma-rear-bumper)

    So let me know what you think. Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

    Agreed, however in my opinion it suits a 01' tacoma front end far better than a 97'. Take 45acp's build for instance. I'm also considering a bumper from Yotafab.
