    I went with cruisin offroad in chilliwack b.c. awesome guy to deal with, will build anything you want within reason, builds some nice armor at a good price, and no need to deal with the border. Only thing he hasnt built yet is skidplates.

    Tyler is great to work with and will do any tweaks no problem all his armor is top notch and not crazy expensive I love the bumper on my 2012 and have been stopped twice by other Tacomas asking me what kind it is. Rear springs, I am going with All Oro Expo, and tires, Id say stick with the MTR's

    I say build your own skids out of UHMW :D
    37" Red Label Krawlers
    King Single bypass for rear (seriously doubt those would ever overheat with what we have to pre run/baja around here lol) or Icon to keep it all the same

    As for the armour...not to familiar with the second gen protection haha.....

    I would consider doing my own skids. I can't find anyone that makes them for duals.

    just remember the dollar isn't going to par anytime soon plus taxes and brokerage at the border put the hurt down on your wallet lol another reason why i went with canadian built armor.

    bud built has dual case skids i think.

    Lot's of stuff (-;
    Im telling you Red Goat Fab for bumpers! He's new to the Tacoma world, but has been building bumpers for the big trucks for a while. Ive got his prototype on the front of mine now, and he's planning on doing a rear for me soon.

    I just thought Id mention he's talking about a design for reinforcing our front bumper mounts too (-:

    Because there like $1000 a tire hahahah. And yes. They do have a faster wear life than what we are used to. But...they work really really well. Being truthful though..I vote for MTR's again.

    Another option I was considering, was maxxis Trepadors bias. But they only come in stickys.
