    Hellll yeah dude that looks great. One question, is t fairly easy to remove and install? I won't have my winch in time for the bumper. So if I put the bumper on first, Is it a huge pain to remove the bumper again to put in the winch?


    Oh damn I didn't know you were around. Mine should come late next week hopefully. They told me it would be 3 weeks until it was here. That was 2 weeks ago I think. I'm gettin pretty excited....it's gonna make my front end sag a little. (stock susp) Still waiting to hear from all pro on some shocks. I cant wait!!

    2007 Toyota Tacoma Regular Cab 4x2
    I took my 2007 Tacoma Regular Cab to my favorite mechanic today and had the following things done... - replaced spark plugs - replaced front brake pads - cleaned rear brakes - routine oil change + tire rotation My truck has 80,000 miles on it as of yesterday and, since I drive in a major city with a lot of hills, I take the truck in for an oil change and tire rotation every 4,000 miles and have them check the brakes each time. I knew that it was soon to be time for the front brake pads to be replaced, and, sure enough, this was the first time that the mechanic recommended replacement to me. Aside from the routine oil change/tire rotation, though, I've never paid for the mileage services (30K, 60K, 75K, etc.), so...shame on me...it occurred to me this past week that I should, at long last, replace the spark plugs, so I specifically asked the mechanic to do so. All came out to $460 after parts, labor, and all of that. This is the first time that I've had to have major upkeep work done on my truck in 80,000 miles, so this confirms my belief that the Tacoma is the best vehicle that I've ever owned. Next time, though, I should replace the spark plugs earlier.

    Removed the Westin stainless steps that came with the truck when I bought it. Looks a lot cleaner and also makes the truck look higher off the ground. I used to think I wanted Nfabs (and I still DO love the Nfabs), but I don't want those steps to make my truck look lower to the ground. Oh well. I might still pick them up one day.
