I feel like I need to rephrase my last post and just say this so all the people on this forum understand. I had my tail lights tinted at 2920 customs because I'm friends with the guys up there and they're thinking about sponsoring my truck and hooking me up with a system for dirt cheap. It's okay if you don't like what I did with my truck. A couple people have not liked my grille and that's cool. But when I'm getting negative rep from people who probably just have a stock tacoma with an intake on it that's starting to make me mad. Especially when they're saying I'm bought not built because I had a shop tint my tail lights... My friend has an s10 and he had a shop shave stuff off his truck. Does that mean he didn't build his truck?

I'm not one to argue over the internet but I joined this forum so I could have help with my truck and show people what I'm doing but instead I'm getting hated on by these stock drivers that the last mod they probably did was change their oil. My friends s10 forum is much more supportive than this one. Seriously it's okay not to like my truck and you can call me a bro all you want but at least I'm not a tool that has to hate on people's truck anonymously over the internet.

Alright back to the build

Hey, for what its worth I think your truck is awesome man. Some people enjoy doing stuff to there truck because of the experience and for fun, but if you can afford to have a professional do something that maybe you're not comfortable with or just don't feel like doing yourself, then why not?

I like the build, and love the truck brother. keep it up.

Thanks man I have done a lot of the stuff on my truck myself so I know what you mean but paint is something I'm still getting better at. I bet I could have done it but since I knew these guys they did it for almost nothing.

Very sexy!! I love the black, black, black! If I wasnt so afraid of swirl marks I would have got a black but instead I went safe and did silver. The changes you made were well worth it. The grill is unique, LOVE the rivet look just eh to the star in the center. But hey to each their own. NOT to many people like my head lights or bug deflector either. F'em. LOL.

Nice Build!!!!!

Thanks!

The install on the bull bar is really easy. You shouldn't have a problem with that. The grille isn't as bad as it sounds. You do have to cut and drill your stock grille to put in the rbp grille. I think I put up some pictures of that. The hardest part is just committing to take that jigsaw to your grille haha. If you have any other questions about it let me know. I can look and see if I have more install pics too.

The only problem I've had with RBP is that I've had to send back my grille twice now because the powdercoat came off and it rusted.. This isn't normal of their grilles but for some reason I've had a real problem with this. I'm supposed to be getting a zinc plated grille next week so we'll see if that works any better.

Just be aware of that before you drop the money.

It's just a color matched plug that goes in those license plate holes in the bumper. I took off my front license plate and I didn't want 2 ugly holes in the bumper so i just put those in there so it wouldn't look as bad.
