    New White off road Tacoma in va.. I stumbled across your site and have been looking through it for a while now. I have never really been a forum fan. But I am going to give it a shot since I've learned some interesting stuff and seen some good looking trucks.

    First things first I want to get a grill guard to protect the front end of my new toy. Anyone have any tried and true products they would reccomend?


    My truck is below.

    Running a bull bar is worse than not running a bull bar

    also, @FlaccidMass what the shit is that?

    you name, bro....

    bull bars are ugly and when you crash into something they often bend back and ruin your front end

    Oh the name.. Haha

    I live in the city and don't want people fucking it up when they park. Also, going through light brush on hunting trails, I would rather it be hitting a guard rather than my grill.

    Mine is on order ... supposed to be here soon ... so I can't say from first hand knowledge yet, but their instructions indicate that a little light trimming of the inner fender liner is all that is required.

    Here are the instructions if you want to take a look:

    So funny, I did a double take. I normally just lurk but this is hilarious.

    Anyway I'm surprised no one mentioned fab fours. They really stepped it up with the Tacoma. The vengeance looks good. The store seems to have their whole line up and ships, I would just browse through. http://www.builtfortrucks.com/toyota-tacoma/
