    We have several types of bananas on the farm. Including the Apple bananas, Cooking bananas.etc.
    I think you will enjoy eating the fried bananas.
    Bananas breads and bananas muffins very common here in Hawaii. In fact my sister-in-law just drop some off yesterday. Aloha

    If the tow hook on the front is mostly cosmetic, what are better options for on a stock Tacoma?

    What better options? The factory built one on the passenger side. The right side tow hook is for transportation purpose from Toyota factory use as a tie done point.

    “Speedfreak” posted a great aftermarket one. For those who want a more solid tow point.
    Aloha

    A bumper that bolts directly to the frame is usually adequate for most pulls, but if you want a "full send, running start whiplash yank that will tear the frame in half before the recovery point gets tweaked," @Speedfreak 's ARB suggestion is the one you want.

    ARB Tow hook , from what I can tell looking at the ARB , looks like it bolts on too.
    Toyota has a three bolt system , passenger side.

    I like to be obnoxious and I live and work in an area with low crime so I have 3 shackles on the back. I’m building my truck to be red and black so I went with those colors. Pick a color that complements your base color and you only really need one or two.

    Another OP Scooby?

    Yellow contrast well with Lunar rock.

    I've started the hobby of making soft shackles. I've made lots but never had to actually use them yet. Haha!

    just don’t try to use your decorative danglies to actually take any load or pull anything.

    Saw this about a week ago haha. I personally also have soft shackles.

    OP if you’re going for a color to accent Lunar Rock I’d say black, grey/silver, white, and a really dark bronze; maybe tan if you’re feeling crazy. But if you’re not going to tie that in with any other color matched mods/parts I’d say stick to black/grey/silver.

    How convenient to have his cell number right there, so you can call him and say "light's green, homie. Gas it."
