    I'm new to the forum and just purchased a 2012 Taco TRD Off-road with a few mods. It has a 3" RevTek lift, 275/75/16 Mud Claw tires, blacked out grill and push bar. I'm really liking it so far and want to do a few other things to it. Any suggestions?

    Looks good... get rid of the bullbar ... they just cause more damage than they save you from.

    Are you sure about the size of the tire? Is it 275 or 265?

    nice choice, same year and color as mine. I would also remove the bull bar. Half the time when I see them around here they are bent backwards and touching the grill.

    no, cus i have never ran one... but they do reduce approach angle quite a bit, and like stated they often get bent back into the grill / bumper causing damage that would of not likely happened in the first place.

    Keep your Bull Bar if you like it OP. Looks good to me. Who gives a damn about approach angle unless you wheel all the time and if something hits the bar hard enough to bend it back into the bumper than it would damn sure tear the bumper all to shit if it wasnt on there.:D

    Nice! Welcome to the forum.

    I second the lose the Bull Bar and Nerf bars (yeah I know you didn't ask my opinion ;)). Pretty truck though. That's the color I seriously thought about getting.

    I live in Alabama and we don't generally have a problem with rust here unless there is something I am missing. I hate to loose the nerf bars. Its sort of a pain getting in and out of already. Should I get a fifferent type?

    What kind of 275's did you get? I can't seem to find any with aggressive tread patterns. Most of what I see in a 275/75/16 are for big cars, very straight tread pattern.

    Nice truck! I actually like the bull bar. It goes well with the black grille but I'm going with a light bar on my '13 Taco for a more simple look. Tires look good. Nice rig! :D

    Thanks. I think it goes well also. Thought about putting some lights on it. Not sure what to go with though. Thought about a bed cover also.
