    Stock. Purchased 2/17/19. Cement!
    Personally don't care for bull bars. Perhaps a N-fab light bar would be a good second... of course in black. I've got "Chrome" wheels but every time I see black ones on a silver Taco, I always keep thinking I should switch. As far as the side steps, I'd still avoid chrome! Go either the gray (factory) or black.

    black, but not too much, the whole "murdering it out" is too morbid for me. The same is true with chrome. Done tastefully either looks cool. I prefer flat black on my ride....

    Funny you should ask... I have stock TRD OffRoad wheels, chrome tube steps and chrome grill surround and billet grill. I'm in the (slow) process of blacking-out all chrome plus the wheels.

    Biggest obsticle: Finding a Color-match rear bumper to swap w/ my chrome one.

    Maybe its the girl in me, but I like a mix of both. I'm planning on black 18in rockstars with black lights, crome grill (maybe black, I'm undecided) and crome nerf bars
