    I'm custom making a part for Tacomas. It's got several different angles and I was having a little trouble seeing it in my head so I decided to photoshop it so I could print it and refer to it while making the actual part. I got really close to finishing it, had been working on photoshop for over an hour, and my ancient PC froze. Now I've got a picture of a rusty bolt blocking my view of what I was drawing so I can't even see the damn thing I was drawing. The mouse won't move. I hadn't saved any of the progress yet so when I reboot the PC I'll lose it all. Is it beer thirty yet somewhere? Lol

    Looks good. I'd probably color match the grille surround if it was for me.

    Install a set of 37" tires, add a long bed, paint it black, add every spacer and block known to man.. wait a minute that's my truck lol

    3" lift, TRD wheels, TRD stickers, TRD Pro grille, 32.8" tires, and 1,000 pounds of bumpers and you've got a winner!

    Mounted my second gen low profile plate mount. I'm thoroughly happy that I didn't have to do the work myself. It was worth every bit of $35 shipped to not have to dick around with it for six hours. (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...late-bracket-35-shipped.429680/#post-12353840) -- Only thing I had to do was add longer bolts for the plate retention and only because I have a plate cover (if I didn't have one, they were perfectly long enough to have worked).

    Edit: Only slight alteration I made after I took the pictures, I took a floor pad for a chair and put it under the bend that sits against the bumper as well. I placed the other ones at a point where if something were to hit the plate, it would rebound, but I put that other bumper on the low part to try to stop any potential vibrations.

    I haven't been off road yet. I tested it twice. First at the road next to the shop. one wheel on dirt/sand the other on pavement. One wheel spun a bit and the other thrust me forward. Then I was taking a left turn from stop in rain. A little chirp and I took off. Traction control never kicked in. That's the goal. Brakes are not what you want when your're trying to move forward.

    My Relation Race Wheels finally arrived since pre-ordering them last December. Prior to them shipping, I received an email stating that they were shipping them less the ring bolts and sending them later as they had quality issues with the bolts rusting. Supposedly the new batch will have a better finish. I just put stainless steel allen roundheads instead of waiting. I like this look much better and don’t have to worry about a socket scratching the rims. Today I had them mounted to the Cooper Maxx T/A’s. Really enjoyed the drive home. Very quiet and the truck tracked very straight.
