05+ Tacoma Body Armor

yeah but if you push down on a tie cleat they already start to move the track a little. that roof rack is already 50lbs? just a few more camping or off-roading supplies and that's at 200 lbs forcing the track at a downwards angle.

 

I thought the same about the weight capacity of the roof rack. The way its mounted looks like it would give way quickly on those rails.

 

Agreed. The tie down rails aren't meant to be loaded at that angle.

I will give this one to the Frontier: It has a MUCH more impressive tie-down system in the bed. The Tacoma method seems chintzy.

 

Front bumper looks too big, and there is a gap between the sides of the rear bumper and the bed. The top thing looks delicate.

 

any weight on that rack and you'll have a nice dented in roof. as for the rest, im sure it is strong, but there is stronger.

 

not that I like to look of that roof rack, but load bearing points are on the frame, with an effective counter balance of 800lbs(very roughly). that would give rack something close to that capacity no? please correct me if this thinking is wrong...

 

hey rockrawler can you take a pic of the truck from the side

 

Yes, all of the weight would be on the front of the bed (where it is bolted) and the rail mounting keeps it from falling forward.

 

Needed because of frame flex. Mine is the same way.

 

I actually like the look of the front bumper - it seems very functional. The rear needs to offer more clearance.

It's nice to see more options out there.

But I still love my Relentless Fab bumpers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because they are the best

 

yup those offroad bumpers flex like a mf. I got pics but nobody probably cares.

 

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

 

i like the rack wonder what it would look like on a access cab

 

I think there is a buyer for anything BUT if asked my opinion directly I would answer very simply with FAIL. Still like Relentless & CBI. IMHO.

 

is it really that hard to make a bumper that flows with the fenders? Truck looks ok..i would rock any of it but not saying it isnt nice. Im just annoyed that besides Relentless and Elite, know one makes a bumper that flows with the front fenders.

 

Bumper is super gay! I like the sliders.

 

front bumper- not my style to big, looks like a copy of road armor

rear bumper - pretty bad ass

bed rack- gonna break the first time i use it

 

the hinge for the swing out carrier looks like a good idea... wonder where i can get one of those to weld to my bumper

 

pretty sure i saw this truck in person at 4wheelparts in riverside...
