    Put any thought into aluminum?

    I just couldn't get away from the huge increase in clearance when adding a full replacement (offroad) bumper.

    Definitely. The SSO one is just the current one I'm drooling over. I change my mind about these things like 3 times a week minimum. :rofl:

    I like the stock Dunlops, but I also like white lettering. Was going to wait till they wore out, but got tired of waiting.
    So...

    That 4popper can do more then you think! Didn't change anything even after I put my mobtown bumper on last year. Still has the same get up & go it always had Granted o have lce headers & injen intake but even still mpg is bout the same. Just go for it! Now if go all armored out & move up to the dirtys then you may have to regear but a bumper isnt gonna change anything just fyi

    Sharp! I’ll be getting one soon. I have the Trd front skid so getting rid of that and the stock bumper should only net around 30lbs with the Pelfrey aluminum front. I don’t think it would even be noticed.

    I'm 110% pleased with the choices I made. It took a while to get this far, but the delays just gave me time to think about what I was wanting to do....

    Have you had any animal collisions to test out your bumper? I have an arb and i hit a deer every couple months, so im wondering how aluminum would hold up to that..

    It's not something you can get pulled over for, but if they catch you speeding they can cite you or something (it's like a correctional citation I believe- a fix-it ticket). Also, if you're parked without a front plate they can get you for it. Same rules with uncovered lightbars, stance in some states, etc.

    OEM LED bed light kit. The ad says for Tundra but works fine on Tacomas also.

    2015 Tundra Tacoma LED OEM SET Cargo Bed Lighting 00016-34089 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SWXZPT8/

    I ran the negative wire to the interior door light trigger circuit and also a to a pin switch when the camper top glass is open.

    The lights come on automatically when any door is opened or when the camper shell hatch is opened.
