    Hello all, I'm Sarah.
    I bought my 1st new rig a 2014 green tacoma (last summer) & smashed it with a 5 pt bull elk after having it for a month; lol this relationship was not meant to be. I followed up by upgrading to a 2015 blue trd off-road. Definitely my dream rig! I'll post some pics of the smashed truck in another forum. Looking to add a front bumper so I can smash the elk back, hopefully never have to deal with that again though.

    Welcome to TW! And here I thought 200lb white tails were a problem. You got pics of the damage?

    Of course...not of the elk (he did not walk away), neither did the truck though. Just glad it hit where it did & it was only me & the dog. Poor spruce mica truck :annoyed:20150827_093409.jpg20150827_093431.jpg

    Hello sect0r, Im actually in Wyoming on a fire assignment currently, change up of scenery. Definitely been doing some research on bumpers, narrowed it down to Demello I think. Flipped them a message and they got back to me within a couple days. My issue now is that they currently only do the steel bumper, so Im looking at 120+ ish lbs being added on. The question is do I need to upgrade my suspension? I have TRD Off-Road stock suspension and have been trying to find out whether it will be up to the task or if I need to calculate in the cost of new suspension... Any suggestions or experience with this?
    Thanks, Sarah
