UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Those are nice. Just not sure I want the added weight or cost.

 

Somewhere there’s a little winch bumper that just replaces that lower piece, i can try and find it later.

Or just do what you want cause it’s your truck haha

 

People are going to tell you to get a steel bumper, sliders, lift kit, big tires, bed rack with RTT, led light bars etc then you'll be just like everyone else. Everyone thinks you need to go all out when majority of the trucks are just city trucks anyway lol So just do you and enjoy your truck. They make a couple aftermarket options to replace that piece but it's a little pricey, i'll post a link below. If you're not looking to do that then I'm sure someone might have a piece laying around. Another good option is to check the local Facebook groups. People are always posting stuff in there.

I know C4 has one, not sure if anyone else makes it or not.

That’s still expensive as shit

 

SSO also makes one, it's also pricey.

Alternatively you could look into something like one of these.

Barricade 3.5 in. Oval Bull Bar w/ Skid Plate

 

Yeah, I like the C4 Fab, SSO, and Warn versions. Hard to justify the cost though because I don’t plan on serious off-roading or needing a winch. We have a 12 week old baby and I was fortunate my wife approved the truck purchase. $700-800 is a lot of diapers. Maybe I’ll find a used low profile mount or someone with an OEM plastic piece laying around.

 

US Offroad makes a steel winch mount that goes there on 2nd gens, I'm guessing they have a 3rd gen one too but not sure on price

 

Good thoughts. Those mods look sweet but often not practical.

I’ve been off Facebook for years. I hear their marketplace is a happening place but I’ve been resisting the return. Is there a good Tacoma forum on there?

KSL Classifieds seems to be my go to in SLC.

 

$625 for a steel bumper insert like is actually a really good price compared to other alternatives.

They don't. The 3rd gen is so different, it kinda rendered the USO design obsolete. That said, I love mine on my 2nd gen.

 

There's Utah Toyota Off Road and Utah Toyota Off road classifieds. Those groups will help you the best but if you're not on facebook then maybe waiting around here till someone posts one up in the for sale section There's always the dealer but they charge an arm and a leg

 

No idea what that plastic piece costs, but OEM replacement would prob make that SSO insert seem like good value!

 

Capital Reef is by far my favorite, driving out to temple of the sun/moon felt like you were on Mars.

 

Temple of the sun/moon was my favorite thing in the park!

 

Sorry I do not know of a spot for y'all to camp for the night, but I'm sure someone will chime in and provide you with some helpful info.

 

I feel we need another food/drink night. Maybe something around a fire..... Since gunshot doesnt have a firepit yet. How bout it

 

I like it, count me in

 

I like it too, I'm down. Let me know when.

 

I’m interested.

Anyone interested in doing some rust maintenance on my truck? Time these days seems to be a bit of an issue.

 

Only if you do some more chopping on my driver side cab mount. I think I'm still rubbing slightly in full lock reverse.
