FAQs

Question 1: Where did you get your bumper/ who makes it?


Answer: That bumper was made by Billy at Brute Force Fab. I took his design of bumper:

and asked him to make a few minor changes. If you are interested in getting one like mine, contact Billy and ask about the Rogue Front Bumper. He will know what you are talking about.



Question 2: Where did you get your switches/ switch blanks?


Answer: I ordered everything from OTRATTW.com (click pictures for a direct link)

4 of these snapped together in pairs:


3 of these:


and 1 of these:




Question 3: What did you use to paint the badges and shackles?

Answer: Fluorescent Green Rustoleum

 

This one too...

 

Dont get why others havent commented on this sweet build. Love the custom detail stuff and great ideas. Sets you apart from others. Nice build man

 

^ x2 Very nicely done. Will be watching for future mods...

 

Thanks guys. Its nice to get some feedback on it. Just updated to what it is currently. Its debadged again while the paint sets on the badges. Then two go on either side where they were before, the third tacoma badge is going on the grille and the grille toyota emblem is going on the tailgate. All will be the bright green color.

 

sweet build man. I like the mini mag holder location. How do you like your icon set up?

 

Thanks. I like the Icons a lot. Little rougher ride than stock on road, but takes the jolt out of hard hits much better. Looking into getting their tubular UCAs if they turn out to be adjustable for camber/castor.

 

Updated again. And I just want to throw this up here as well. not sure why but I like it.

 

Wet Okoles are in Finally!

 

Clean looking truck and nice choices with the mods

 

Thanks.

 

Nice build. Love the color!!

 

Hey, thanks man. Liking the color of yours as well.

 

Rogu3,
I saw you a few weeks ago in SLC somewhere. I remember the green acents.

Nice work, the truck looks great. I have plans to do a bunch of the same mods. Its slow going for me though

Are you going to Moab in May?

 

Thanks. I hope you are mistaken about seeing me in SLC a few weeks ago though. I haven't taken the truck down there in some time. And when I did last, I had not yet done the green accents. I hope there isint someone else down there who has done the same thing I have.

And I hear you on the mod thing. But once the bug hits you it picks up a bit. And if you ever need help, I'm not too far away.

I wont be able to make it to Moab in may though, as I will be in Colorado at the time.

 

Man, that would suck. I want to say I was by the CostCo in Murray and it may have been a little longer then 2 weeks ago, but if you havent been in the area since you made them, its possible it was someone else.

I hope I am wrong too. Your truck looks great and has nice, unique touches. If I see it again, I will try to catch the lic plate or stickers or something to identify the guy.

 

LOL, I hope if you do see it again, it is actually me.

 

Updated. Installed new ICON UCAs today. Pic under suspension in the first post. Also added photos of the under hood LEDS and Hood Struts.
