    Thought about it, but decided I'd rather wait until I got my plate bumper and just put an LED bar on it.

    In all honesty, still my favorite mod to this day. I love it, and I highly recommend it to anybody who is interested.

    Truck looks nice, but please take it easy on the Photoshop and HDR. It often time detracts from the realism of the photo IMO. But to each his own..

    Thank you, but I smoothed everything as best as I could with the HDR in the new photos...does it still look fake? And I only used photoshop to blur the plate.

    I really like that top. I first wanted that, then started leaning toward a tonneau, now you have meet wanting the bestop again. My main concern with it is gas mileage.

    I'm averaging 16mpg, which really is not bad for a 4x4 double cab V6 with 33"s, 3 inch lift, and a Bestop. I can even get 18mpg highway on 91 octane.

    Best deal out there with the TacomaWorld discount code.
