    Looking awesome, are the suuuuuuuupa bumps a stock replacement? Any cutting or anything needed?

    super easy to replace. just need to droop the front so you have enough room to get the alan wrench between the bump and LCA when youre putting the new bump it. . it takes no more than 20 minutes.

    Thanks! Another question. They look a bit bigger than stock, does this take away from movement of the suspension at all? I am guessing no but just had to ask

    theyre about twice the size if not 3 times the size of the rubber on the stock bump. as for movement i dont think? i have a LT kit up front so im not worried about it taking movement away. im sure joel could answer that better.

    They compress to the stock bump length so they do not restrict up travel:thumbsup: buy these!

    my ultragauge was kind of a beeeach to mount to my mirror, it was a smaller space from the rearview to the windshield than i was expecting, it must be different on the 2012+ tacos :D

    Just wanted to drop a line and sub! I'm hoping to get Taco in the coming months and I'm a high school Junior so my budget is probably around the same as yours, and your upgrades are really similar to what I'd do.

    SICK Nomad too. I'm rocking the 2013 Trek Slash 7 with a Reverb Stealth.

    Fasho dude welcome to TW! Be careful, modding tacomas is dangerously addicting and it doesn't stop. Those new treks are bad ass, first mod for you should be a dakine shuttle pad to haul your bike around

    Yeah that's first on the list! I used to be addicted to modding bikes but now I've got some self control (I work at a shop so it's so tempting). I'm sure I'll be into modding the truck now....thinking of taking auto next year so I understand more than tutorials.
