Here's a few shots of where my trusty Tacoma took me this past weekend!

 

I like that front bumper, do you have any more info on it?

 

Looking good. I need to get back to the island. Why did you switch from the 5100's and 881 combo. I'm about to get that exact setup on my 96 and I'm looking for some input. Please and thanks.

 

Custom built from a local fabricator. Wanted an ARB style bumper

 

I had some issues with my 5100s so I thought I would try the 883 and nitrochargers to keep it all OME. I like how they ride but I do miss the adjustability of them

 

Thanks

Fall/ winter camping is here!

 

Your truck is coming out soooo nice! how do you like those truck lite headlights? are they plug and play with or toyota harness? Im looking at geting some for my 95 extra cab 4x4

 

Thanks. I love them. One of the best things I've done to the truck. Just take out the old lights and replace with these. Plug and play.

 

Did new oem lower ball joints, new spc uppers, wheel bearing and an alignment. So took it out to play in the snow. Need to replace steering rack next.

So what happened to the flatbed? I've been stewing this over for a long time. Was thinking of mocking up a design out of wood this winter.

 

I dig the flatbed

 

I couldn't get myself to like it. Something about the lines not flowing with the tacoma. I didn't build it though. Bought a new box now though, just got to paint it.

I like how you can see the new shiny cam bolts. Also waiting on scs f5 wheels in bronze, once a local group buy is finalized.

 

How much did that bumper cost you? I'm kinda by that way and I want a front bumper close to that.

 

Where abouts are you? I think he charges around $1000

 

I'm out by fernie. Still But like 11 hours but go that way all the time. Also would you be able to take some more pictures of the tent platform you had made?

 

Been looking at building a flatbed similar to the one you had on your rig. Did you end up selling it? About how much do you think it weighed, ~300#?

 

It felt pretty close to the stock bed weight. A bit heavier.
