    Installing N Fab light bar. No need for a huge bumper for me. This works just perfect.

    After a pain in the ass install. Finished project.

    Moved onto @Mobtown Offroad aluminum IFS / Trans skid install.

    SOS Concepts bolt on sliders w/ kickout installed shortly after. Main uses for me are for a solid jacking point in sand. But always good to have protection. @JimboAnz

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    "No mods" that's a good one. Your wife is alright. Your bank account maybe not so much

    The post on Feb 12, 2017 at 10:02 AM shows your rear view mirror.
    the temp and direction on your rear view mirror... is that just stock? I need/want that on my 2010 taco so bad. I was hoping it was the radar you listed as purchased and was so excited.

    You have a hi-lift jack. Do you have a point to jack from? Are you planning on sliders and bumpers in the near future?
