    That would be awesome.

    I did a quick and dirty photoshop awhile back...if only someone made a smaller grill for it...and a plate bumper to go along with it.

    It really depends on the truck, our schedule and demand. We will put a priority on the new Tacoma because while we don't think it will be a huge seller right off the bat with aftermarket products we do how ever want to be one of the first to market with a bumper for it.

    Nice, Thanks to whoever posted the location...
    That truck is BadAss!
    Is there anyone that can photoshop that truck to the Quicksand color?

    This is what I said in another thread

    Remove everything below this line, compress the grille including adding some mesh instead of that chrome crap, and put something like the new T4R bumper on it.

    The grille doesn't even seem too big to me, it's the fact that the headlights stick out like little wings on the grille. I would much rather them follow a contour of some sort.

    One issue we will have with it is the fender flares. Would anyone here be against cutting the factory flares at the bumper line. Hypothetically speaking if you owned one and wanted a bumper on it?

    Thanks for the reply, most of that gets removed anyways, it unbolts. Just like the 2010-2015 4runner and we will make fill in pieces for under the head lights. The one part there isn't a line through is that flare so it would be a situation where the customer would have to cut it.

    As long as the bumper covers my shitty rough cut edge that I mangled by using a combination of hedge clippers and wire cutters because I couldn't find a hacksaw.
