    Today I bought a 2012 Tacoma Access cab SR5. My wife and I wanted a fuel efficient, 4 wheel drive vehicle that would carry around all our gear when we go to the beach, triathlons, dog's for a swim, or just for a night out on the town. This is my 2nd Tacoma and I am so glad that I bought this vehicle. With the 4 cylinder I wanted a fuel efficient vehicle that will last a long time!

    I can't wait to buy the camper shell for my truck to complete my ride. I would like to by some type of brush guard, any suggestions? Thanks

    Let me predict how this is gonna go down. :p

    It all starts by you wanting the brush guard. Oh really? (Those are useless BTW) You need a steel bumper instead, but to run that you now need heavier springs so the front doesnt sag. But those lift it too much and now you need UCA's. Then you have a Bro Lean so you need some Leaf Springs, and longer shocks to go with those springs. It sits toooo high on those stocker tires, so then you get 265's. They arent big enough so you get 285's. Shitty mileage, so now you re-gear. And on.... and on....

    Haha and this is what you should expect. :D
