    Yeah I just like the look, I want tail light guards too and I never drive in brush. There's just a lot of aftermarket options for the 2nd gen and I know they are prob coming out with some cool add on's for the 2016's

    Some guy just posted one yesterday or the day before.

    Super pricey, though - to the tune of $899 for a bare model and $1199 for a bare model with 20" lightbar, no name.

    I've never really liked these bull bars on the taco, I guess this is actually a 2014 model bull bar he adapted to fit (Didnt take much from what he said).

    hehe, luckily for us, tight fit in the garage negates the possibility of ever putting anything like that on ours.

    and being in the garage is more important that anything when its get -20F during winter :)

    Again not my pic but apparently this exists. That's a step towards a 3rd gen brush guard. Looks like you can add a skid plate under it too.

    only problem I see with this is the slight coverage of the front plate, which can give the police a reason to stop you.
