Got new wheels, should I go with brush guard or bull bar next?

    I just got some MB TKO wheels installed yesterday. I really like the way it brings out the black on my truck. Now Im thinking about either a black and chrome bull bar like from Aries, or a cheap black brush guard

    theres a good looking one made by N-Fab that has three lights on it that i really like but its close to $800, and im in college so im trying to think of cheaper things i can do for Birthday and Christmas and saving up that would change the looks alot. but I love the way the brush guard looks on 02goldie's tacoma

    Yeah I agree thats probably one of the only Tacomas I've seen where the brush guard looks good on it. But look around on Craigslist, this forum and stuff and see if anyones getting rid of a bumper.

    Save your money and put it towards something more practical.

    IMO

    Check the TTORA Garage Section....
    Like they said... But it depends on how you use your truck.
    If never ever plan to off road your truck... Stay with what you stated.

    If not... Get sliders first... Then a front bumper, then rear.

    It is my daily driver, but I hunt alot and like to ride the trails down at my deer camp. so Im kind of in the middle. this truck was my uncles and he kept it in perfect condition inside and out. so I dont plant on taking it over any intense trails, just to hunt with and take in the mud every now and then.
