    I was searching for these arb brush bars a while back but only found them in Australia. Could you share where you got them?

    The ARB decal had us all fooled. But that is a seriously awesome mod I have never seen on a Tacoma before.

    Platform was pretty easy to do, sheet of plywood and a few 1×4's had a 2x4 to use as support. got the carpet at home depot for $20, it's almost a color match too which was nice. had the little pouches from work, they hold gloves and first aid kit, fill them with batteries when I go camping too for flashlights

    Sorry, it's been a while since I've been on here. To answer some of the questions. No, no compass nor outside temp gauge. The tranny temp gauge probe is 'T''d into the outlet line to the stock cooler, so I'm getting fluid right out of the transmission. My flow is transmisstion -> stock cooler -> aux cooler -> back to transmission. I know there's some risk of over-cooling the fluid, and when it's less than about 40-45 out, and the TC locks, I can be running in the 130-140 range. But I also have 33's on it, so other times I can heat up pretty quickly when the TC is unlocked, so that's when I want and need maximum cooling. Some have run to an aux cooler first then the stock cooler, which could in theory put some heat back IN the transmission if the coolant at the bottom of the radiator is warmer than the transmission fluid coming from the aux cooler.

    I purchased the elite set and am just waiting for them to come in. These look like a great mod for the money, prop rods always get in the way when doing anything under the hood, at least for me

    Look like fairly generic d-window steel wheels.

    I like the look a lot but I wish they weren't so heavy. My little 4 banger will have issues.
