    Got my bumper put on Friday of this week and got around to snag a few pics of it mounted up and everything. I am thinking though i am going to paint it again for it being a used bumper and all. but the guy that had it before me looks like he took decent care of it. could not pass up the UNREAL DEAL i got it for. Would u guys repaint it or not? what size winch and the best one? thinkin about gettin one but dont know yet. I'll get a pic with the entire truck later on.

    WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!

    Bought this ARB bumper off a guy who had same model tacoma that works at the local autozone. I went in to get the extinguisher for the truck and he ask where i was going to mount it and told him a Tacoma. to get to the point he was selling it so i told him i'll take er.

    Finally got my front back to normal you can say. before when i had the lift its almost been a year i had them set at the top setting on the shock. this is why my CV axles and UCAs was at that steep of angles. so i took it to a local tire shop and the guy helped me put them back down to the stock setting and what a difference!!! Also just got it aligned yesterday at a local alignment shop. the truck drives so much better now. I'll try to get some pics up tmrw now the shackles are installed.

    Heres the pics as of 8/15/13:
