Just picked up from the Georgia Powder Coating...

Really happy with their work! $183 and back to me within 24 hours!

Gotta wait until the weekend to install it though... Made a promise to my 9 year old daughter that I'd let her help!

Appreciate it! Pretty excited to get it on there this weekend! Wish I had a winch to throw in there before installing it... Maybe after my tax refund!

Haha yeah seriously! I figure as often as I'd be in a position where I needed a winch, I'd be ok with an entry level model. Been looking at those Engo winches or a Superwinch Tiger Shark. I'd want synthetic line to keep the weight down, so there's another $200 added to the price.

I got the rough country synthetic one. They're great winches for the price. Have a few buddies with them and no problems out of them

Pelfreybilt Aluminum Single Hoop installed this past Saturday 2/27/2016...

Need to straighten it up a little bit, but really happy how it turned out!

Now I need to save up for a winch to go in it!

Rigid SAE fogs and 20" SR bar wired and installed...

Wired the fogs using the factory fog light wiring and switch. Had to dremel about a 1/4 inch off the Rigid harness to make it work.

Apparently I still need to aim the fogs lower... Had a few folks flash me after install!

20" bar wired with supplied Rigid harness, but I ordered an Air On Board switch for a cleaner install.

This thing is BRIGHT!!!

I'll take some output shots next time I remember.

Thanks man! I was just going to throw a small lift, 285s, and a camper top on there and call it done... I blame TacomaWorld for the sliders, bumper, and everything else!

Now I'm looking for rear bumper with swing out... Just trying to convince myself I need a HC instead of the standard. Damn TW!!!

This camper top score was ok, but not nearly as good as the deal I got on the Z Series for my 2002... Paid $350 for that one! And it was already black haha!

Truck looks great man I got the same but 2014! How have you liked the KO2 and how about the ARE Z series? I have searching all over for a deal like yours on a shell! Which paint did you use or did you get it done by a shop?

Appreciate it! The KO2s have been awesome so far. They are heavy and my mpgs definitely took a hit, but I really like them. I do wish they offered the 285/75r16 in something other than load E, but that's my only complaint.

And I really like the Z Series... I think it is one of the best looking tips for Tacomas! It does allow a little bit of water back towards the tailgate, but I've read that is pretty common with our trucks. The paint was done by a local shop down the road. They did a great job getting the color matched perfectly.

I appreciate it!

It's funny you should ask... Went out with my dad, brother-in-law, and nephew skeet shooting on Sunday. We took my truck and turning into the property, I rubbed the passenger mudflap.

I haven't heard the scrubbing while riding alone... But with close to 800lbs of passengers and guns/ammo, 120 lbs of sliders, and the 60lbs of front bumper, the 887s apparently lost a little ride height. I have been really happy with the ride quality of the 887s, besides that though.

I was thinking about adding a winch in the future, and may need to either add a small spacer or move up to 886s.

Just worried about bumping up to 886s because I'd probably be on the light side of the 886 recommendation.

I might be ok if I just removed the mudflaps, but I'd prefer to keep them on if possible.

I haven't had a chance to fully cycle the front suspension since I've installed the sliders and bumper... Hoping to change that this weekend though!

Yeah I was wondering if you were getting some sag up front lol. I'm sure they will be fine for now, or at least until you do get a winch. Looks good though I'm definitely going to follow this build.
