Beautiful build bro! Super clean!

 

That is my end goal right there....nice setup AZ4WTACO!

How was the fit for the rear bumper? There was another post where the bumper was hitting the bed, leaving larger spacing between rear qtr panels and bumper ends(?)

 

Thanks for the kudos! Im very happy with the setup. As far as the rear bumper goes here is the information I have and I hope it answers your question. CBIs high clearance bumper bolts into the exact same bolt pattern that came with the stock bumper so unless you're welding it on, you don't have much choice in how the bumper sits/mounted. So the spacing between the rear quarter panels and the bumper ends is what it is and is a CBI thing. As for as "hitting the bed" I have not yet done so but Ive only had my truck out a few times since Ive had the bumpers on. Its my understanding that its possible to hit the bed but you gotta hit it hard and have a lot of weight to do it. So far I have zero complaints with the bumper but Ive had them only for a few weeks.

 

Finally pulled the trigger on a new truck: 2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4 came with TRD bolt ons: Cat Back, Drop in air filter, shift knob and all weather floor mats.

 

Awesome looking truck! I'm haggling with my dealer for the same truck right now, do you mind telling me how much you paid? Thanks

 

285/70/17 Toyo R/T on Ultra X107 Anthracite, 3" OME

 

Gave her a bath and wax after riding dirty for months.

 

Love it, welcome! I’m gonna be that guy...tires? Lift?

 

I just mounted new wheels and tires after my 3” lift.

 

My devil horns emblem finally arrived for my MGM Tacoma. I'll snap an installed photo asap!

 

I’ve been debating between the R/T and the STT Pro! You guys have great looking set ups.

MOAR PICS PLEASE

 

What rack is that?

 

Damn - that's the truck I'm trying to build - same color! I cannot afford to do it all in one shot, though. Truck now, a few less expensive steps, and as I can I'll be running through the list.

 

I walked into the shop one day and walked out 10k poorer...I said to myself “what in the hell did I just do”. The end product is my dream truck though. It was now or never so I did it. I don’t regret it. I did a lot of research and asking around and learning from my brother (who learned the hard way) about modifications. Keep going, you’ll get there and every addition you make will make you appreciate that modification all the more.

 

Looks sharp! What lift did you have installed?

 

My new 2017 Taco. Mag grey limited. Installed heritage grill and A.R.E. CX Truck cap. Very happy with how it turned out. Fits lines of truck way better than fleer IMO. I got installed strip led lighting using anchor glue gun. Motion Sensors works perfectly and turns off after 6-7 seconds. The sensors are not ,however, sensitive enough for leaves blowing around or cargo shifting to activate. I will attach led product I used below as well. They are battery powered and battery packs Velcro nicely onto carpet lining.
