WTF I know there's more to it than this. Off road trips or adventures, gettin muddy, engine mods. Good start though.
























Now just put some TRD PRO stickers on it LOL

 

There's more coming, believe me. I've got a long list i'm trying to tick off. And no off-road trips as yet, other than driving on the roads around my house.

 

sit down with a note pad while watching tv or something and write out an outline. Then all you have to do is make the posts and fill in the blanks. It is much easier to get cought up that way

 

Where do you live not in your profile

 

Indiana

 

Aha I saw no front plate I wish we didn't have to have one. IDk with my new personal plates I guess it's ok

 

i've always thought the front plate thing was a little odd.

 

Lookin good! Black trucks matter.

 

Ain't no truck better than a black DCLB Tacoma limo.

I hope you can take criticism on an unfinished project better than I can (lol).

Gorgeous truck brother.

 

Thanks man Black tacos are awesome for sure. And

 

Well now don’t I just feel completely out of place

 

Nah I think you fit in great!

 

I agree

 

Not much of a thread since I mostly use another website to keep track of the build, but trying to keep it updated even if I don’t post pics of everything yet.

 

Adding pics as fast as I can LOL

 

What website?

Also, been considering this bumper. How is the clearance? Any pros/cons you care to share?

 

​

 

Sorry it took me so long, I rarely check TW these days.
I used to use a website called gearproject to keep track of mods, I currently use an app called automodlist which I think is pretty amazing. Excellent organization and easy to use, free. Also gives you a link you can share so people can see your build list, I keep mine in my Instagram bio.

Here’s the link to my build.

As to the bumper....
Pros:
It’s unique
Plenty of tire clearance
Looks pretty good for the most part
Good Quality

Cons:
It’s definitely pretty heavy
Big enough that I get jokes that it’s trying to compensate for something else that’s small.
Not the smoothest design lines, I would definitely change a few things if I could
Fab Fours no longer sells them on their website, you can find them on places like carid.com and 4wheelparts.com

 

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I was contemplating making a site that allows for building a rig profile, and detailing it's evolution. TW build threads are an eyesore IMHO. I'm currently keeping track of all my mods (minus photos) in a spreadsheet with dates of purchase, install, removal, cost, resale, etc. Do you have a profile (side) pic of the bumper? I'm interested in how it meets up with the fenders. First post in this thread.

I know what you mean. I actually have to call for my penis every morning because I can never find it, it's so small. But this bumper will make it all worthwhile. I mean, look at this thing!
