    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Believe our frames are 11ga or .120 but they may be less. FWIW It have a full set of 1/4" scab plates that I never used if you your willing to wait a while for them(not with me ATM)

    That's fine. Just curious. Looks a lot like mine. But I just recently back plated the tube and added a tube over where i'm going to add a 30" baja light bar.

    Back plated the tube. Not black. My radiator core support used to be exposed like yours. But I added plate behide the tube to cover the core support.
    I also added the top tube.

    Nope. It's a bolt on. I extended the front of the frame an inch and drilled for a bolt. I'm also using the two original hook bolts on the bottom of the frame. I also added a winch plate. That's why it sticks out so far. Thats the closes I could get it and keep the angle of the skid plate where I wanted it.

    If you look close to one of the side pics you can see a bolt head.

    Installed a small powered sub to round out the audio, sounds much better, glad it doesn't rattle.
    Ive been looking for a simple light bracket for my led pods like the one an old member, snobord, used to make. Any one have one they're willing to part with?

    I'm mainly wondering about what materials / mounting kit to buy.

    I may take you up on that depending on time. I don't think I'll be getting them on until May.

    Question: will be safe to assume the fluids had been DIY changed by looking oily messy around the fill up plug on these pictures?
