JustAddMud's 2012 Off Road Dirty Build

Id like to preface this post with a note that Ill go back and fix the formatting of this build thread title post.

Most 'stock'ish' photo I have of it.


I originally planned on leaving my 2012 stock as I knew nothing about this website when I purchased it, thanks Tacomaworld. My wallet hates you. Sadly, I don't have any bone stock photos of my truck as the day after I purchased this brand new 2012 MGM DCSB (5 miles on the ODO) I deployed for some time in defense of Operation Enduring Freedom. So taking photos of my truck was the last thing on my mind. Do you forgive me? Long story short, found this site during some downtime while deployed and now Ill fill you in on what's been done since my return / PCS.

On with the mods:

Some info regarding the Road Armor front bumper; all the photos of that bumper are from head on or slightly at an angle from head on so it is extremely difficult to notice a 'design' feature. After arguing with the store I purchased it from, I'm ending up stuck with it. I emailed Billy from Bruteforce Fab about purchasing his front bumper but he hasn't responded to my email yet. The Road Armor bumper has a design that allows for the solenoid from the winch to stick out a very large hole on the top of the bumper as shown in the following pic. Ill have to make a trip to the local hardware store to pick up some sheet steel stock to fill in that 'Design feature' as a winch with a removable solenoid will fit just fine as was intended in my original design. I was very pissed off at the bumper and I originally thought it was the wrong year model bumper. Ill probably end up selling the Road Armor bumper and getting a custom Bruteforce Fab bumper instead, we'll see. The ball is in your court Billy . As you can see below, this is a fairly large hole that Ill have to close up with some sheet steel


The bumper was temp installed and still required adjustment for fitment so disregard the large gap on the bottom right, but no amount of fitment would have filled in that large gap dead center of that picture.
