    Awesome truck man. And I agree! How could you say no to this cute face.

    BTW, we seem to have similar tastes! Roof racks, tires, lights, etc. I'd prob have gone with relentless bumper had I had the choice (Bumper put on by OP) but overall love that truck.

    I am going to probably switch to a thicker bumper (Relelntless maybe) in the next few years. This bumper has treated me well over the past few years.

    I don't typically like them, but it looks good with your black rims. I'd keep it.

    It was a pretty slick modification! However, I am glad I wouldn't have to worry about it, if and when I decide to put a rack on my double cab.

    I don't mind messing around with tools to customize an item for my personal needs, but sometimes bolt-on is nice...

    Keep it! Black looks good against the white, plus you might need it. I'm jelly they don't make it for AC models.
