    The Tacoma is the platform. The base that everything is based off of. You want to spend money with a good foundation. You can save money elsewhere, like accessories.

    Yes but my point is sometimes that higher priced product....is shit.
    Not everything's a tacoma.
    Rago is "big" and I paid top dollar.
    I was disappointed. Yet a few cheapo ebay buys..I have been more than happy with price vs quality. Again. Not everything is as cut and dry as tacoma trucks costing more and actually being better.

    As for bumpers, they are inherently expensive. I looked at the USOffRoad winch mount because of price. After that I found SOS Concepts (amazing company with a great bumper) and they have a bumper for ~$800. I would really like one of those. Then I found this Ebay bumper. ~$200 less than the SOS Concepts and still cheaper than the USOffRoad option. I have recently found that SOS Concepts has a weld-it-yourself option for right around $400 that I am currently considering. Really its going to come down to how much work I want to put into it. Do spend the extra ~$150 for the Ebay bumper and modify it? Or get the Weld-It-Yourself bumper and spend a weekend putting it together? That's the point I am at now, and I can weld, but do I really want to loose a weekend before I can even start mounting it?

    mine actually did which was weird haha, i'll show you in person this weekend! but on mine i didn't need to do anything to the mounting holes, because I put those bolts in first and wiggled the other side bolts to fit, which would tell me that there is a certain order to installing these things.

    I am close enough to the guy at SOS Concept to make the drive to pick it up, but the ebay bumper ships for free so ...

    I'll find out when I have a winch one day.

    I would gladly pay for a brand name bumper, but I simply cannot afford it, heck I even bought this one discounted hahaha

    I know exactly what you mean. Some people can pay for the best, I can sometimes pay for good enough.

    Duh, how else am I going to impress people? I really don't even own a speedo or a yeti. I just bought knock-off stickers and plastered them onto my truck so people think my ozark is a yeti and my swimwear is official.

    Since we're posting pics, you can see my swimwear in my profile pic, and here's my ozarrrrrrrr.... I mean yeti....

    Love Dabo! Watson should have been the Heisman the last two years. Great progress by Clemson, hit up the 2017 NCAA FB thread if you haven't.

    I'll check it out, college football is about the only sport I can watch anymore. Although I'm not really a clemson fan. Was just razzing you since you posted an Alabama one.
