Nice! I love seeing all of the bumper/winch designs that are coming out. Holy fucking shit though at the amount of wheel poke you've got going on there.

 

It seems like all of the 0 offset wheels that look perfect on the 3rd gen’s are giving half a foot of poke on the 4th gen’s

 

Yeah plus I'm 54 and out of touch with what looks cool anymore

 

That is a scrape ready front bumper with those recovery points flying out of that swollen nose like bloody boogers from a week long cold.

 

liking that the bumper is relatively low profile.

will you be able to see the line wraps on the winch?

 

the tire that sticks out way to far is the new wing on a civic look.

 

Nice! I wonder what the unreleased kit is. Lots of fans of the Foam Cells on this site.

If this account sticks around, introduce yourself in the intro section- https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/new-members.19/

Try and become a listed vendor here too but I have no idea how to do that.

 

Don’t worry about what others think

 

Nah, a little poke has always been "cool" that amount of poke is something for a different crowd. The offset on the new truck doesnt jive well with most current aftermarket wheel offerings, a zero offset on past gens now looks like what was a -15 offset. I was so sad when I realized my volks and almost any volk current offerings would look clownish on the new truck. As time goes by manufacturers will start to adjust, but for now it'll be hard finding a good set of the popular stuff that works without crazy poke and destroying your paint in the process.

 

I will say it looks damn good.

 

Visa_Declined 100% right, the wheels will not stay on the truck, they rub ALOT. We just threw them on for testing purposes. Going on a more appropriate wheel with a 35" tire later today.

m(a)ce, it will be a case of seeing the wrap via the Hawes, so fairly limited.

hyrule_trd FCP is getting an update this year, + there will be options with Black coils. I little glimpse of the new shock to give you an idea......

 

Does the bumper interfere with the louvers? I don’t even know if they are that low I’ve not seen them in person yet.

Will there be another spring # option and any thoughts to having the shocks tuned?

I looked into it myself and while I can take it apart and replace washer stacks, I don’t have the technical data, know how, experience or parts to know what I’m doing.

Not feeling the second design. Looks like it belongs on an H1 Hummer.

 

When do you expect we will hear about this FCP update? I just ordered FCP Stage 2 kit for my 2nd Gen Tacoma. Should I hold off, is it worthwhile or is it a relatively minor update? Maybe just cosmetic?

 

It's a bumper designed for protection against animal strikes. The grille and headlight hoops are way beefier than those on the H1 Hummer...

 

Yeah the bumper kinda ate the front end lol

 

The contour of the hoops should follow the aesthetics of the truck and the lower portion could be slimmed down.

 

Well, thats ugly af
