    Small update, put in an additional D-ring and used a Beard Y strap to mount my fullsize spare in the bed. This has been done since May, finally decided to update my thread :)

    [​IMG]

    Simple yet effective, easy to move around and does not obstruct the bed with any mounts etc.. if I need to use the bed "on the fly"

    This has to be the best looking 6" on TW. Truck looks awesome man. It almost looks like an impulse red in some of those pics, not that I'm biased or anything :D. I've always been a fan of the red on black on my truck. Some BHLM, and black or removed badges would look sick.

    Agree with the previous post. PM'd you with some questions.

    This build is clean, but still has that bad-ass look to it. Looking forward to getting educated on this lift and getting it installed on my '12 DC. After that, time for the super charger!

    I really appreciate it. I love this truck, Barcelona red isn't very popular and I just don't know why.

    :D I can't decide about the BHLM. Most definitely will do a retrofit eventually, but still undecided on painting the housings. The Tacoma badges on the door I think look good -- Needed something shiny to go along with the bolts on my wheels.

    I need to add some pictures of my Wet Okole's installed and a few other things :cool:

    Prof.-- Responded to your PM!

    Sweet! I want 35s but don't want 6 inch lift. Can't wait to see the retrofit on your rig

    The retros should look awesome. I can't wait to have headlights that are bright again, Last car had HID's and I've missed them! Thanks for the help

    I think I'm done for awhile with mods....well after I order ALCAN leafs. Damn TW...not good for trying to save money.

    I wish I would have went with a 3"...could have had a nice set up for less $$. I still like it but next time I'm going another route.

    Thanks man. Ambiguous did a good job on these. When I bought my Tacoma in may this year I told my wife I was keeping it stock and I'm already balls deep into mods lol. Plate bumpers by Tyler next. I like your build though the 6 inch with 35s look sick, you going to run 4.56?

    Re-gear is down the road with lockers and all that other super expensive stuff. :cool: I've been eyeing those plate bumpers... Definitely the way to go for the 2012+

    Currently waiting on my BHLM & retrofit by Ambiguous. :D

    Haven't installed my lines yet, or my ubolt flip kit but they look real nice! Won't be installing them for another 6 months once I return from my deployment. Will also be doing ALCAN 6" lift leaf packs at the same time.

    All Pro flip kit I snagged on black friday. I'd have the leafs ordered and installed already but I'm supposed to leave on deployment soon. Boo. Also thinking about a rear bumper with tire swing out so I can free my bed of the monster spare taking up the entire thing. :eek:
