    Cheap and amazing quality. Huge fan!
    I'm actually considering not doing a water tank on my trailer now and mounting this on the side of the trailers rack.

    I have all these recent additions done in such a short period of time (done in 2 work days) all thanks to Rebel Offroad. They are freaking rockstars! No way I could have done all of this myself, especially to their quality standards, without having my truck sitting in the garage for a solid month... and still wouldn't be as good as of a job as they did.

    Nitro gears and ARB lockers are also finally installed :D

    They posted some great photos of it in their shop on this thread:
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/rebel-off-road/366389-defconbrix-house.html

    Hell, they even caught me getting dirty with removing all the old wiring and switches — now rocking that fancy sPOD touchscreen to control everything. Got rid of so much wire mess and cleaned it all up to something I can be proud of finally lol

    Love this shot of the Pelfreybilt Aluminum front bumper.
    Shows so many points that sold me on getting it!

    The subtle details like the gap fill in that the 12+ Tacomas have between the headlight and the grille which spans the front grille area angled up for such a clean look polished look going up to the grille instead of just a flat surface from one side to the other.

    I also love the multiple bends/angles for each section giving it again a more polished look and also keeping it from looking too bulky. Crazy how all these accessories fit in like glove and the bumper looks so sleek. I'm even packing a larger winch in there — the Warn Zeon 10s.

    The skid style (from the winch down to the radiator support) was also something I have been wanting for awhile. Less stress while hitting (sliding over) obstacles on the trails.

    [​IMG]

    Just so everyone is clear though... I don't have anything bad to say about the All-Pro bumper at all.
    It was great and very well built — some of my wants and needs just changed.

    Wow, build looks great!

    Been looking at those Rigid SAE Fogs for my new bumper...Do you notice a difference in brightness over stock fogs?

    Curious why you chose to not opt for the spare tire carrier for the rear bumper? I might have to swap out my duallies for the new SAE's.

    I carry the full size spare on my trailer. When ever I go on long adventures I have it with me. I don't see a point in having it on the truck and the extra weight it brings for daily driving. Just too much weight hanging off the bumper for me. If shit hit the fan around town I have a plug kit or AAA roadside assistance lol

    Anyone else throw their ARB fridge in the cab of the truck during road trips for easy access?
    Normally I mount the 63qt version in the bed but picked up the smaller 37qt for the shorter trips and position it in between the two front seats so I can easily reach back while driving to grab a cold one (water of course lol).

    The 50 qt. fits well there too. We do it on occasion. Or put it facing the driver side passenger on the folded down seat so my son can get in and get snacks.

    Do you run yours to the front to plug in or do you have an additional plug somewhere in the rear?
