    Anyone have thoughts on going all the way solid on the roof rack now?? Really feel I could benefit from it.

    That would lead to other advancements too. Like a kit for anyone with a frontrunner rack to have a 'Spy Rack' like the baja made. Been looking at a quieter actuator and small from factor.

    Take a peak at the rear vs the front. I want to add more slats to the front finally. :p

    I just discovered this thread. If someone had told me about a gold Tacoma with a gold color-matched ARB bumper I'd probably think that would look terrible. But seeing photos of it, it looks fantastic. No one else's Tacoma looks like yours and that is hard to achieve. But if you ever get insecure about the color of your truck, move to Utah. I see "Desert Sand Mica" 2nd gens every single day, not counting my own or my neighbor's DSM 2nd gens. I also see gold 1st gens everyday, whatever that color is named. It is curiously popular here...

    Odly one of the colors Toyota discontinued too.

    There will be a tastefully color matched HCRB in 2015 too. Hopefully with some innovative options too.


    Thank you by the way. Look at the OP for better updated pics.

    Had been on the road since 0530 over 2 hours with people that have no business behind the wheel on the road ways. Performed 3 recoveries on a handshake.

    Nice, thanks for the intel. Apparently they shipped already. $10 isn't horrible and I'll find the bora's and grab them too.

    Here is where the group buy last year was from. I believe this is the manufacturer.
