    Hello, absolutely awesome Tacoma you have put together! I am jealous for sure.
    I just purchased my very first Toyota Tacoma TRD off-road.......in quicksand.
    I have been looking and reading.......trying to figure out what/how I want to start with on my build.

    I have a question for you. I am in the process of wanting to plan on eliminating all the chrome parts on my Tacoma. Like getting some of the blackout replacement parts for the door logo's and such.

    How did you black out the factory rear bumper corners? Or did it come that way from the factory? I would like to find some way of replacing the corners of my rear bumper......as they are chrome.

    Also, I really like your side mirrors and would love to do to mine what you have done to yours!

    Thanks.

    That's the one I want as well, although that wait is pretty undesirable.

    My factory rear bumper caps are plasti-dipped. It was a temporary solution to get rid of the chrome(and I knew I was changing the bumper out). For a more permanent, factory swap... get the SR5 black bumper caps. Remove and replace, bolt right in.
    Thanks, these side mirror kick ass.

    Yeah, I was quoted way less wait time.. but after looking this thing over, the quality is on point. We'll see how fitment is....

    Would you be willing to sell me your plasti-dipped black ones until I can switch out my bumper as well? Just wondering....

    Made the dreaded cut today! Actually wasn't bad at all. Had to call CBI to ask for dimensions on where to cut, as they had no directions...

    Laser level(FYI their bumper isn't level in the back, there is actually a ~1" slope)
    [​IMG]

    off! I kinda like this look by itself...
    [​IMG]

    Removed spare tire/bracket and chopped the exhaust while I was at it

    Bumper is on! Fitment was damn near perfect. props to @CBI Offroad Fab guys

    That's weird.. cuz I'm on the other side of the country..


    I got to test out my reverse/Aux lights last night and I am really impressed. They are Baja S2 with the diffused patten lens. There is still a hot spot directly behind but some decent width.
