    It's good, but I wish he'd make it about 2" wider in the wrap around portion so you'd get some side protection.

    OK here's my .02...............

    This would look hot....if black no good then paint it blue and viola! color matched..............or

    IMG_2338_1632259ba71fa491229ef6366a60985feb398a68.jpg

    Like this without the wrap around BUT............IMO, this only looks good because they put pieces under the tail lights to fill in the corners. Again, IMO, tube bumpers without the corners filled in look out of place on the road, it looks too racy baja unless going for all out fully capable LT offroad trophy truck type thing.


    ..........or, as was posted, the relentless one, either black or color matched to save bedsides. You could leave it black and either trade for a base black front bumper or paint front black and have both black. Colors of the bumpers would be 2nd to functionality and personal preference.

    yea maybe, if relentless is tied up with other projects maybe, i started to realize that the looks are a lil cheesy with the cutt off with a tube rear bumper, plus it might make my dent stand out more bcuz its gona be hanging out more and i would only cut througth half of it if i went with the tubes, and not from the taillights down like the HC bumpers.

    and even if im not 4x4 ground clearence is always a plus

    except i was trying to find a pic of a truck that only had a HC rear bumper, it can be any lift, i just wana get an idea of how it would look with the rest of a stock body

    and color matching any tube or plate bumpers is waaaaay out of the question, only if it was gona b another stock bumper

    Off topic: Scott why is your spare on the rear wheel now? Because of the clearance in the front?

    Looks like overspray on the undercarriage. Has this truck had body work before?

    Thanks for the all the imput ppl...

    So been putting alot of thought about which way to go, im gona check out KR fabs rear bumpers on the KR mod day, and if im not into it, i gona go with one of those bolt on hi clreance plate rear bumpers, but not the ones that require to cut bedsides....

    but i got my tail lights replaced with a set from Ebay, they look similar to the newer LED tail lights except with black houseing, i was actually pretty surprised how much brighter these are, and the blinkers are yellow and bright too, alot of aftermarket tail lights have red blinkers and i wanted to keep the yellow ones :D. shipping was fast too, got them like 3 days after i ordered.

    then my neighbor came outside while i was swicting them out and he said they reminded him of a european's car tail lights.....no idea why:notsure: maybe bcuz they were LED, but he always makes werid comments, he's a cool dude tho, it was also very noticeable he had a couple, so maybe thats why :D....


    will re update when i get my rear bumper

    i attached, a pic of my taillights, two (i think) of KR's Rear, And the Bolt on one i was talking about, Its from ATO, i just dunno if i would get it from them since they are on the other side of USA, but a similar one would work too...

    Not enough.
    It wouldn't bother me much but I've done worse in other trucks. Plus it gives it character.

    yea, if ur talking about the rear bumper, the pics in the frist post dont really show it, but the left side of the bumper hits the bottom of my tail light and from standing behind is REALLY noticeable and it just looks crooked as Fk, LOL, im not in a big rush to get it replaced tho, its not likes its dragging on the floor and the mounting points got ripped off :D

    but it is the next thing i want to do to my truck tho

    Plus a cop at 7-11 asked me if i just got into an accident or a hit n run..:eek:...I was like "no sir, it was from off roading" then he said "ouch! thats y i dont take mine out much" then hoped in his cruiser and left.....so maybe he was indicateing he drives a tacoma too :rolleyes:
