    Anywho, back to the point, just weld an extension to the front of the skid to fill the gap, truck looks good

    1st thing to do is black all that stuff out, which will reduce the eye being drawn to it.

    Since you're not off roading, hang a slim line light bar under the bumper and call it a day.

    Or fab up an air dam with flower bed edging. :D

    I had a body lift on an old truck a while ago. I got some sheet metal, folded it into an L shape, painted it black, and stuck it in the gaps. Mine were by the bed on the sides but it would probably work in the front.

    There are a few companies that make aftermarket bumpers to accommodate a body lift. @RelentlessFabrication can hook you up. Mine is made for the BL and there is no upper or lower gap :D

    Love the headlights and grill! maybe if you were to paint the lower part of the bumper, the silver looking part, black and the frame it would al blend right in.

    Wow! Body lifts aren't even legal here on vehicles equipped with ABS. Mean truck though!

    You got yourself a purdy mall crawler there OP. How hard is it getting the bike in the bed, or do you trailer it? Looks good!

    I appreciate everyone who had something constructive to say. I will definitely consider all options. I honestly hate that term mall crawler. It just sounds brutal lol.

    I thought w a body lift you’d have gaps between front and rear bumpers but it doesn’t look like it. Think it looks good

    This website is for Tacoma enthusiasts, not Tacoma haters. So whether your truck is made for off roading, the pavement, or whatever I like it :thumbsup:

    A piece of mudflap rubber maybe attached to the bottom of your front bumper and the bottom of your front frame area,might work good,and its flexable also.
