Looks really damn nice!!!

Ive been loving those Baja Racks lately!

 

I got super lucky with my rack. the planets aligned and i just happened to be in the area another member was selling for like 70% off.

 

NICE SCORE!!!!

Got the winch today, glad to have it all together.

 

Did you have to cut your valance or just remove it to put that bumper and winch set up on? Or did you have to pull the whole bumper off to get that piece off?

 

I had to cut into the bumper, although instructions for install say take bumper off. some members on TW said it was easier to cut while on. If the valance is the black plastic piece, It is still intact and in one piece, still connected to the chunk of bumper i cut off.

 

Yeah it's the black piece. Good to know! I wonder if I could just take that piece off and it would work? What do you think? I'm super indecisive about winch bumpers to get. Low profile for sure. Thinking of this kind or the US off-road one

 

Nah, it wont work. you have to cut no matter what.

 

Did this today, it was kinda a quick job and a fuck it moment because im trying to get on the trails for the winter/spring/ forever who knows. for now its functional and gets the jobber done.

 

I keep waiting on Decked to come out with their Tacoma drawers but they say they'll be released this year but no date yet. I just might have to do the same thing and build my own. Super irritating. So is ARE! I ordered my cap a month and a half ago and it's in but they didn't ship the mounting hardware with it and I have been waiting for the ADE dealer to get them in. They are slacking big time

 

they should be able to overnight the mounts. and if they havent they are slacking big time.

 

Ohh they were slacking, they got sent to the wrong shop in another city but same company and they had to be carpooled to me. Finally got them though!

 

Man that front bumper is cleannn

 

Thanks man, first time ive ever cut on a vehicle so im prettyproud of it.

 

inspiring build. thinking of pulling the trigger on a tradesman topper.

 

Going trademan topper slowed me down a lot in the finance department. After living in the truck for a cple months now im glad i did. I have some more armor and lights im waiting on in the mail so will hopefully update soon. Glad you like the build so far
