    I think you know what I'd say.:D

    Honestly I was unsure about it at first, but it's grown on me. Unless you have some quality application tools, color matching and getting the right clear coat is gonna be a PITA. And then trying to maintain it. Herculining it was easy as hell and holds up well for what I need it for. I put a coat of flat black over it. Touch ups with herculiner are gonna be a lot easier to do than color match/clear coat. In regards to the roof, I've seen several 2nd gens with a blacked out roof and I think it looks pretty good.

    After talking with box rocket I'm almost 100% sure I'm going to go with the Trail Gear low profile bumper with welded on light bar. Pretty inexpensive and I can put it on myself. I really like the eliteoffroad bumper but dropping around a grand is not in my budget. The extra money can be spent towards a new suspension! I want coilover set up but still doing some research. What's your opinion on suspension? A good 3" lift for offroading?

    OME or Bilsteins w/Eibach coils are pretty much the standard.

    That's cool. I actually sold my moto for the Tacoma.

    But a few of us are headed to hollister next weekend. Hopefully it doesn't rain.

    But if your down... Check out the regional section of NorCal. There is a thread of who's going.
