My Tacoma OR finally showed up!

Yes I don’t care for sunroofs just a giant hole cut in a perfectly good roof

 

Oh, ya know what you ARE missing one feature! Don’t worry I’ve got you covered!

Now you are just tempting me

 

I just replaced the hidden winch with this bumper. Slimline Hybrid.

 

Did you replace because you needed tow points? Or some other reason?

 

A few of reasons, I suppose.
1. Recovery points.
2. With the hidden winch the fit & finish wasn't as good as I would have liked. The black plastic piece never would stay snapped in. Not sure if that was my fault or not.
3. I found the Slimline used and at a good price on this site.

 

I changed the bedside decals to matt black
today.

 

looks great! did you have to cut your bumper cover for the install?

 

Sorry to take so long to get back with the info! i have 23.5 from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender opening both front and rear.

 

Yes. It requires a bit of cutting, but it's super simple. Takes a bit of time with the winch, but not hard.

 

Where did you get those?! Been looking around for some myself

Looks great. How did you get the stock decals off without damaging the finish? I have blacked-out army green and want to put a black flag on the rear fenders.

 

Heat gun, plastic scraper (I used the bondo cards) and patience - although it’s probably easier to peel new ones than old ones

the heat will lift an edge, be cognizant to not overheat - doesn’t need a ton- then you can peel with your fingers/ use the card to get an edge then peel. Use goo gone or some such after for residual glue

 

I just peeled them off no heat gun. There’s times when using heat will cause some adhesive to remain on the panel so if they are still somewhat new I recommend going slow and no heat.
If they tear easily then use a little heat.
