    There is no black paint on the front bumper....that is an OEM lower front valance which is made of a black polyurethane. Unboxed and installed.

    Not sure about that...it was done by the body shop that painted the truck.

    How do you like the bakflip? What model did you get ? And how much did you pay ? I'm considering grabbing one during blackfriday I spoke to a vendor here on TW and they quoted me $599 + free shipping. Sorry to bombard you with questions haha

    I went with the G2 and it ran just under $800 with tax. They are expensive but it is nice.

    Have you been driving this truck? It looks too good to keep it in the garage.

    I take it out on nice days....I also have a 2006 Miata, 1994 Subaru WRX (rhd), and a F250 so I have to spread my driving around.

    All kinds 3 inch body lift/2 1/2 suspension lift. 31/11 1/2/15 tires All work done by myself for years. The only work performed by mechanic was fuel pumps. I also have a 90 Mustang 350 hp and I can never understand how come my Tacoma gets more respect Just got a 99 Jeep TJ that I rebuilt, and painted in the garage
    Nice job brother. I love the way you painted every small part. Even if you can't see them. Thats the way its done, and certainly not a waste of time or money. Older Tacoma's are up in price as you know , so if you ever want to sell just put it on a national site. Excellent job, and perfect follow through.

    I saw this truck on Facebook marketplace (I hope you didn’t sell it) and noticed you installed King Shocks with reservoirs. You got any pics of the installation?
