    Subbed.

    I am getting a 2016 but not pre-ordering. I will wait until right before Christmas to snag one most likely.

    I would also like to see a mount to put a light bar somewhere in the grille area.

    Very cool to hear. I know I'm saying another name so no hate but would love to see (YOU) guys do a low profile road Armor style bumper for the 2016 Taco I feel it would fit and look good actually desstically improve the front end looks.

    It'd be nice to see a fog light replacement option. Something factory looking but with D2's. I'd emailed you guys in the past about doing something like that for the 2012's as well. New plastic bezel for a direct plug and play option.. Grill and bumper brackets like you currently have as well.

    We definitely have a lot of bracket projects on our to-do list across the board.

    We have started rolling out our R-Series which are available in our standard mount and in a retrofit version OE mount. This R-Series46 is a bit too large for the factory Tacoma fog light opening but we are coming out with more size options within this series soon.

    We spotted this rendering floating around instagram done by Keg Media for Demello Offroad.

    What do you all think?

    Usually road armor and low profile aren't in the same sentence.

    We weren't there to take measurements but we prefer to have the rig in our possession for all R&D to streamline the process and focus all at once.

    We have been hearing about quite a few 2016 Tacoma's that will be built in lighting speed in time to show off at SEMA though in November. We are so stoked to see what everyone comes up with!

    Looks legit. Silly grill looks good when you take away the underbite.

    Just picked up mine tonight. You guys need a truck to work with? I had your grill on my 12 and need one on this truck . Let me know, I'm just up in Scottsdale d809c50862fb10a46d43bdd30d52cc5e_7766a00774b781e4b957509581610e4e54b84554.jpg

    Id like to see a front bumper like this on the market, perhaps even slightly more aggressive.

    Dear Rigid Industries,

    want to do something innovative and functional that no one else sells that would make you lots of money? Make a light bar that fits into the non-functional hood scoop of the Tacoma sport model!
    I did it on my 2005 4Runner sport with a 10" SR2 so it can be done... (if you look on your fb page to last summer I tagged you in it and you guys liked it) I know the hood scoop has changed sizes over the years but there are advantages to having it here vice other places. 1) It's higher up so throw light better downrange 2) it's more secure than mounting it other accessible places and can't be stolen unless the hood is open) 3) turns a cosmetic feature of the truck into a functional one with minimal change to the front end styling.

    beyond the hood scoop, I think a replacement fog light package with D2's would sell.

    I wouldn't do anything in the lower bumper area because most people who seriously offroad, will remove the front bumper cover anyway to go aftermarket. Lastly be weary of where customers will add a winch to this truck because that could hinder the sales of any kits you come up with. I think because of this the upper grill is the best bet to do a custom fabricated piece. It'd be nice if you could put some angled recess pods in the upper grill for ditch light D2's (so people don't have to put them ont he hood brackets being sold by cbi) along with a light bar (or two option across the main portion of the upper grill).

    Also think about how to provide covers for your flush mount lights or any options you provide. Most people drive their trucks on the road and lots of states have laws against more than 4 forward facing white lights while on pavement. Even if it's velcro/ hook and loop or something.. is better than a ticket.

    Just my $.02

    If by ghetto, you really mean functional, then yes. Thank you.

    Only one thing missing now, a rigid grill and even series light bar
