    Just bought a 2007 Tacoma Prerunner Double Cab SR5. Planning on adding accessories. Need advice on bull bar and toolbox for short bed. Bought step bars but have not installed yet

    That's the great part about owning a taco you can make it your own so if the price is good and you like how the product looks then go for it!

    Negative of any Bull Bar. They cause more damage to a front end in an accident, than help it.

    Honest truth is I agree with Unchained I was considering a bull bar until I read about what everyone had to say about them. That's why I chose the Avid front bar.

    Thanks for the information on the bull bar. I think I will refrain from purchasing it. What about the toolbox? Is that a good price? Is it worth losing the space on my short bed?
