    New member from the Pacific Northwest and first time Tacoma owner. I've been reading the forums for a couple days and have already learned a lot, thank you for that. I've only had the truck a few days and wasn't able to do a whole lot of test driving and inspecting before purchasing (long story) so I'm hoping I can find answers here when needed and contribute if at all possible.

    Truck is a 2003 Superwhite Xtracab 3.4L V6 5-speed manual with 102,000 miles and is stock as far as I know except for the air intake (there is an airaid system), the radio, and a brush guard.

    Edited to add a few pictures in order to prevent the spread of worthless threads :thumbsup:

    Welcome. I'm new, too. That's a nice looking truck. I need to get a brush guard like that for my truck.

    Thank you and I'm glad I'm not the only one. It was on the truck when I bought it but I do like the way it looks.

    The biggest gripe I have with these brush guards is that when they're installed, your tow hook has to be removed. There doesn't appear any other tow hooks attached to this grille guard, either. Years ago, I got one for my old '85 4 X 4, and it had two tow hooks already installed, and you didn't have to remove the old one, either. You can't find that brush guard anymore, either.
