Choices? Which one would you do first?

Some of the mods I want to do on my truck possibly include a Prinsu roof rack and the SSO slimline front bumper with winch mount.

If you could only get one, which would be the first to get? Having a hard time to decide. Both are more for looks, but both could offer great assistance with various things that you do.

 

Depends on what you do. The racks can be used for a lot of different things from bikes to Christmas trees to a roof top tent to kayaks. From an actually being used standpoint, I would go with the racks. Plus you can also haul lumber with them.

 

Slimline front bumper with winch. A roof rack wont get you unstuck. I got my rack made and still have not used it like I thought

 

SSO Slimline. Looks and function.

 

Get the Bumper!

 

I like that bumper.

 

Rear bumper

 

First I would get a strawberry milkshake from Chick-Fil-A, and then I would get the bumper.

 

Bumper.

 

How much offroad do you do? Is the bumper for looks or function.
Probably get roof rack first .

 

Where would Ya mount a license plate on that bumper? Out here in Commie Fornia we have to have a front plate...because when the Police chase us we always drive in reverse.

 

Option 1: Be a rebel

Option 2: you can buy a bracket like cascadia4x4

 

Cascadia 4x4 flixster v2... I run plateless here in WA and haven't been bothered yet. Lots of cars without them.

Yes we do!! And if we don’t we get a ticket....because a front license plate is a really big offense, not like other “illegal “ offenses !

 

Thanks, I will check that out.

 

Cool, I can make that.

 

Dude, Sonic strawberry milkshakes are the bees knees. Not knocking the Chik-Fil-A or anything, but Sonic takes the cake. I had my jaw broken in college and had my mouth wired shut (liquid diet) for 58 days. I am convinced, Sonic strawberry milkshakes are the sole reason I survived!

But to the OP, do the bumper and winch first. Sucks to be stuck out in the woods with a nice roof rack.....

 

SSO front bumper for sure. I just put a winch on my daily driver and I really wish I had one on my Tacoma.

 

I am leaning towards the bumper. I haven't done a ton of off-roading (mostly Forest roads), but in previous years have pulled people that were stuck out with my old F-150 and a tow strap. Having the winch would be nice for those just in case situations. It also would be a little looks for the truck too. Good thing is also, I get 10% off for the bumper, so that helps a little.

When I initially purchased the truck I opted not to get the roof rack cause I wasn't sure if I would use it that much. I have a tonneau cover on the bed. The rack would be more than 50% looks than use though.

Thanks for the responses!!

 

The looks of this bumper really look good on your truck. I have a Sport with the TRD grille. Only thing I would add is the light bar in the front since I have it hidden behind the lower grille area. My fear with the bull bar is if it will affect the TSS system. From your grille, looks like it won't though.
