    There is some pics on the website that should give you a good idea of whats being replaced & whats being reused. As for the group by Coop, thats kind of up to you guys as to figure out who all is interested in purchasing one. Have a great day & let me know. Thanks

    Has anyone bought one of these? If so, how is it working out? What happened to the $350 offer? I'm on the fence about which type of mount I'm going to use. If anyone has any opinions, post away.

    Wombat, I waiting to pull the trigger myself. Only truck I have seen that has one of these is on his website. I am waiting on feedback from a customer before I order one. This is the best looking setup I have found so far .

    What's the fairlead attached to? (i.e. what's to keep it from pulling the bumper apart if you make anything but a straight pull).

    I have my M8000 sitting in a box, and I've not decided on how I'm going to mount it. This hidden mount idea is just one of a few choices, but I would sure like to hear some feedback from someone. If that $350 price was still around that might make the decision a little easier.;) Hopefully we can get some feedback from someone soon.

    I asked you a question about your product and that's how you respond? I posted from my phone and I'm not going to try to navigate your website when I can just ask the question here.

    Great customer service... "it's on the website, look it up yourself". :rolleyes:

    My point exactly your running your mouth & didnt even look @ the website. The bumpercover is just that. It does not support the fairlead or mount in any way. Besides your not looking to buy one. Especially when your truck says ALLPRO down the side of it. I know what you were trying to do. Oh & i dont treat my REAL customers that way. Only posers like yourself.

    I apologize to the rest of you guy. But he had a hidden agenda behind his statement. & I'll be damned if i'm going to sit here & listen to his B.S.

    This is a discussion forum. It's purpose is to discuss things. You should be prepared to discuss your product and answer questions.

    Im well aware of this forum being a discussion forum. And i have answered everyones questions. Yours however was a statement. In hopes of downgrading my product. So you can push your All Pro product. And if this was a one way conversation how come this thread has been going on for over a month now. Not cool dude.

    It does have a question mark. It sounds like an honest question to me. All I'm saying is with as much traffic as the sight gets, be prepared to answer alot of repeated question no matter how simple they are especially when it involves a new product. 95% of the people on here are Tacoma enthusiast. Nothing more. I don't think Mxpatriot had hidden agendas. I know his question better helped me understand how your product functions.

    Just sayin.

    The "?" at the end of the sentence is generally considered a clue.

    Anyone who has run a winch more than a few times knows what kind of forces lateral pulls can exert. All I was asking was how is your product prepared to deal with that - which can be tricky when dealing with plastic bumpers. All you had to do was say "the mount extends out into the grill and provides a solid mount for the fairlead, independent of the bumper". I would've responded sweet, good shit.

    You're a garage fabricator fielding a new (to 2nd Gen Tacomas) product. It's natural to be curious as to its design. You're acting like you should be beyond reproach.

    I have owned,operated etc. Various winches mounted to various vehicles im not new to offroading. Ive been into wheeling for the last 20 years. So to answere your question. Yes. It can handle a lateral pull & not affect the plastic bumper cover. This was taken into consideration when we started desighning it. Oh & by the way, our mounts are burnt out on a hi def plasma table, then bent on a 12' break. & we hand bend all of our own elbows that are on our lightbars. So i must have one hell of a garage huh?

    Dude calm down. Not a good way to get customers. All he is issuing is y'all are a new company hence the "garage". I'm sure no disrespect was meant.

    Sounds like a full blown shop. You should become a vendor and keep developing products (I'm serious).
