    Sick truck man like the color a whole lot, don't see it too much. Your bumper is sweet, wish I was able to find one like it we have similar taste. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks man. There are a lot of companies out there making steel bumpers for the tacoma. You could look at the offerings by Shrockworks, BodyArmor 4X4, etc. The bottom of my bumper is from All-Pro.

    Re-geared over the summer to 4.56 Nitro Gears. The guys at East Coast Gear Supply did all the work. I removed and sent them my differentials, and they installed the new 4.56 gears and an ARB locker.


    Removed front differential:

    Removed rear differential:

    Also upgraded my Icon coilovers to their adjustable remote reservoir version. At the same time, I replaced the Icon 13" 650lb/in coil springs with King 14" 700lb/in coil springs (which I painted red).

    Custom LED bed lighting. Nice thing is that the lights are controlled by the SnugTop dome light, which I have set to "Door." So, when you open the SnugTop door, all the lights come on.

    Summer project was to modify front bumper to improve approach angle and to remove light guard bars directly in front of the headlights.

    Did you ever fix this problem? (Uca hitting coil)

    If so, how? Strap?
