    I am looking to build my truck a little more. I have a 2006 Sport
    Plans:
    Weld it yourself front bumper
    I was wondering what my options are for a DIY front bumper.

    Mirrors
    I wanted to swap my mirrors out with ones that have turn signals in them. I was wondering if anyone has done this and if it works.

    Tire Carrier
    I am already in the process of cutting and building my rear bumper and i wanted to add a tire carrier to it. I was wondering a couple of things, best way to mount it (Like on top of the bumper vs the back of it) and if they sell tire carrier hinges or kits.

    Any advice is appreciated, Thank you

    Hello Speedway,
    The only thing I can help you with is the turn signals in the outside mirrors. Muth Mirrors (www.muthco.com) does make replacement mirrors for the tacoma. They include signal mirrors with or without a
    heated mirror option. I have had them on my 2012 tacoma with the heated option. Have found that they really work well. Came across them when while working at a motorcycle shop that sold Muth
    mirrors for motorcycles. Contacted them and they stated the do make mirrors for many trucks. It may take a couple of weeks for them to manufacture the mirrors, but they are worth the wait.
    I know you would enjoy them.
