    Yeah I'd love high clearance but I had the same reservation. IF I lived in a real house with a real garage I'd have done the bumper with tire rack for sure though. As it is I fit with 6" to spare.

    Add comparative photos to my OP. Amazing how dramatically different this truck looks after 13 months of ownership.

    Since the kids are with mom this year for Easter I decided to take a drive after Easter Mass this morning. Drove up to Hyalite Reservoir, ate lunch, took some photos, and enjoyed the majesty of where I live. Took some photos of the truck too!

    Wow! I feel so honored. @tcBob asked if he could use my truck for the TacomaWorld banner. Totally blown away! :)

    Had to take a screenshot for commemorative sake. I should make this my signature pic with truck details on it or something.

    Is your front bumper powder coated or painted?

    It is powder coated. I really struggled with whether to go color matched or not. @Pelfreybilt offers black or white powder coat as standard options. And Satin was extremely gracious when I asked her to change from black to white last minute.

    The trick going forward will be finding a white spray paint that matches identically for those inevitable dings and scratches it'll be getting off-road. :facepalm:

    I opted out of having mine powdercoated by Pelfreybilt since I was unsure at the time. Your's looks like a great match. Hoping mine will look that good when I powdercoat it.
