So no group buy then?

 

He said $200 off with gb
Plus free shipping

 

Shoots, how many do we need to get in on the deal?

 

Minimum 3 sets

 

If we can get more I'll talk to him about seeing to knock off more. Lol

 

Are you in? If so that mean we just need one more guy right? Shouldn't be too hard hopefully.

 

Yea just getting some funds together

 

he doesn't keep our pair of headlights does he? if he doesn't then how much do you think we can get for our headlights? i might be interested

 

No these are sold outright. You buy them and install them.

 

Olivia is more my type.

 

Damn these are all hot women but my top favorite is

 

Honestly, rear ended or not, If I had to pick front or rear, I'd go rear. Stock, our trucks already have pretty good approach angle, but horrible departure. If you drag your rear bumper off roading, it will peel back badly. The sheet metal its made from isn't much thicker than the body work. there are a few pics of trucks with the stock rear bumper shaped like a horseshoe from dragging their ass on the trail. Also I'm more worried about one of Oahu's awesome drivers rear ending me than I am of me hitting someone or something. If someone rear ends you, its almost guaranteed to damage your bedsides too. Finally, rear plate bumpers are pretty inconspicuous. Unless you go swing out and/or high clearance. I even have a friend with rear swingout but running stock front, and his truck looks sick!
But we all have different tastes. We want what we want. And we want them for different reasons.
Either way sorry about your truck

 

thanks for the feedback. I have no clue what I'm gonna do. i keep going back and forth between all the different options. only is money wasn't a problem lol

 

I think I'd agree with this. some idiot showing off his G35 at Farrington and Ft. Barette failed to recognize that I was stopped, and murdered my tow hitch. luckily, I have a little lift in the rear, cause my tow hitch smashed/totaled and made a nice 4" hole in his hood. if it was any other vehicle, my bumper would've been smashed... I'm more worried about people rear-ending me than me smashing someone.

 

Already on order... But have to get the new tires mounted. I think Ivan and Rick need to invest in a tire install thingie..... lol

Ummmm.. yea.. that will do as well.... lol

Yes.. In the mainland where they need to worry about hitting deer, front does make a lot of sense.. I too am more worried about someone hitting me from behind. But does bring up a legal question.. Say someone hits you from behind.. Your steel rear bumper does what it is supposed to do, and you are safe. The other driver (on the other hand) isn't as lucky. Any possible action can be taken against you because you modified your vehicle? The stock rear is designed to "take the hit" and absorb impact... just a thought...

 

Cant be any worse than rear ending a semi truck, box truck, or truck with a lift gate.

 

Btw, you know that big S turn hill you blew a line on, and kaleo had to get pulled up? The 2wd sequoia with street tires got up it first try in this pouring rain

you probably remember the video, but I wanted to remind you

 

That's what happens when you come on Tacomaworld. Spend money, mod, install, spend more money, explain to the wife why you need to spend the money, get more stuff, buy your wife the car she wants so you can spend more money on your truck....

 

Also, passing recon means that the inspectors looked at and approved your modifications.
