    Hard to beat the contrast of white and black. I like it.

    Lower bumper light bar, Spyder Headlights,
    are you thinking of putting Toyota lettering or the emblem in the middle?

    I had them installed so I couldn't tell ya unfortunately. Only took them about an hour though and based on how I saw them do it I don't believe its too difficult. And the lights come with a wiring harness so you could easily splice into your parking light and connect them that way.

    Uf! Beautiful truck, man! How many inches it's lifted? I've never seen a Tacoma lifted with Maxtrax with the tires inside the fenders. :eek:

    Well the tires still stick out some, the Maxtrac spindles naturally widen the stance by a certain margin on almost any wheel. But I'd say its lifted a little over five inches. The spindles provide 4 inches and I have some OME 883 coils that add about another inch and a half, but it's settled to just over five I believe!

    Mine is also lifted 5 inches, but lately I've been giving some thoughts to a Body Lift. So, maybe I will lift it up one more inch with a BL. My tires stick out a lot!

    Look great man! I can tell. And I don't blame you on wanting to add a few inches. I've been getting the itch to do that as well and I wish I had went with the 884's or 885's on the coils to push it north of 6 inches. Maybe down the road!

    Honestly, I don't want to fuck with the suspension any more! I know that a BL it's not the best way, It's expensive and installing that motherfucka is a pain in the butt. But for a mall crawler like me, is good enough! What is the offset of those wheels?

    I just installed the grill! The fitment was better than I thought and the quality is pretty good for a made in China product. The only think that I hate is the gasket around the grill. For some reason, when you close the hood, there is a lip of rubber coming up from the gap between the grill and the hood.

    looks really good! Its almost as if the stock grille insert protrudes further out than the aftermarket grille.

    Yep! You are correct! I really like the OEM grill too, so, now I can interchange them! :)
