    Hello Guys.

    I've been a Toyota fan for more than 15 years. I just bought the Tacoma TX Baja Edition. A magnificent machine!!

    I have already made a couple of "changes" on my truck; I also love to do research so I will be in touch thru the different forums...

    Cheers!

    i bought mine from 4x innovations. they were the cheapest i could find and they do the job well. although there are a ton of people on the forum who make and sell them. the hard part is getting a good welder to attach em onto your rig. also i would powder coat them or at least use bedliner.

    Sweet, I am excited to see someone from PR on here. I am not Puerto Rican myself but my wife was born and raised there and her whole family lives there. We have both tallked about moving there at some point in the future. I can now at least have somebody to go offroading with. Oh and nice truck.
