    Good Looking Tacoma! I am totally going to steal the idea of putting a couple mounts on the underside of the center console door, perfect for the surefire and backup pocket knife!

    I totally stole your idea to run D2s in my pelfreybilt bumper but I can't seem to make them fit. Would be possible to get a picture of how you were able to fits yours? Thanks! Truck looks great as always.

    Try turning the brackets upside down. When I first mounted mine they didn't fit and then I tried them around.

    This totally worked, thanks! The mounts on my bumper are at an angle so the light sits at a slant so they're kinda crooked but I'll keep messing with it. Are your mounts like that as well?

    Not much for wheeling down here except on the beach. Been catching a lot of sharks.

    Sharks taste horrible since they urinate through their meat/skin except for makos.

    I love this truck, I'm copying a lot of your designs (sorry LOL) for my own truck.

    Got a few questions though:
    What is the silver tank on the rear bumper? It looks like a water tank that can be pressurized
    Why did you switch from an Allpro front bumber to Pelfreybilt?

    Most of my stuff are just copied from other trucks or vehicles.

    The silver tank is a water tank that can be pressurized. It is great for washing off kids or dogs after at the beach. It can also be heated for a hot water shower.

    The Pelfreybilt was chosen for the following reasons:

    1. It is all one piece and thicker so it is a bit stronger than the All-Pro was.

    2. The Pelfreybilt has more clearance in the fender well and in the approach angle.

    3. I can fit a 20" LED in the space in the front once I get around to getting one.

    4. Tyler was able to make this bumper how I wanted and that was a big plus for me.

    So I have been throwing around ideas to improve the rear end suspension. Somebody do a sanity check to see if this would be a good idea.

    Keep All-Pro Expo springs
    Pelfreybilt shock relocate
    Icon bumps
    Icon omega bypass shocks

    The front is nice and plush where as the rear end is like a bucking bronco. Most of it is due to the bumps in the rear.
