She's Coming Along

I got it from Sparks Parts. It's an OEM grille

 

Thank you sir. I've used your coupon there before Great videos by the way. The only complaint I have is like this place, you make me spend too much money

 

Don't pay them any mind. I'm right there with you!

 

Lol! It’s the Tacoma enthusiast curse!!

 

Nice

 

The aftermarket bumper with the blue shackles and light bar, very nice. Well done. The grill too.

The way a truck looks also reflects a personality. Subjectively? Lol

“Good kids can only come from good parents”. My wife babysit for 14 years, The first 3 years of a child ,there personally is form. Please be nice when rising children, they will become just like you.!

 

I am so glad I am not a youtuber.

 

Most aftermarket bumpers have mounting points with square edges. I personally prefer to come off the bumper with a d-ring compared to a soft shackle.

 

Good point about the sharp edges for holding shackles. Most of us do not pay attention to the sharp edges.
The holes are drill round, design for a bolt on shackles.

Guessing you could round those edges?

 

Some of the companies are now cutting a 45 degree chamfer cut.

 

Looks nice... but I would've kept your voodoo blue taco instead

 

Thank you for 45 degrees chamfer cut. Also some people will add the soft shackle to the hard shackles.
Best to read the pros and cons for each use of hard vs soft shackles.

Soft shackles are known for the knots been pull out on hard pulls.
Hard shackles the pin is the weakest link.
Learn the ratings for each one.

 

How many Tacoma's have aftermarket bumpers? If my area of the US is any measure, I would say, looking at the hundreds of Tacomas I see over the year, I would say maybe 1-2%.

 

I don't think the ratings have been released for the demon brackets.

 

Curious of the bolt ratings for the Demon brackets. Most guys say for easy pulling , but be careful .
Added them more for the cosmetic looks.

 

Well, I like Robmotive's content on his Youtube channel! I am referring to some of the cool things he comes up with, such as the simple hose clamp on the tailgate, painting the hooks in the bed that come in silver color, and the simple things like the grab handles on the rear seats that he made, since Toyota discontinued them for some reason. But Robmotive's other content, such as when he decided to see what happens when one "leaves" the keyfob at home after he had started the truck, well that was an interesting one too, as well as when he documented what happens if one covers up the camera on the top of the windshield, and what happens then to the PCS OFF light. A lot of the stuff he does are things that people wonder about, but never asked or tried to figure out. So while I know that Robmotive takes heat sometimes because of just the style of his videos, I think the guy does a pretty good job of it and I know for sure, that his videos have helped a lot of us out here who have tacomas like he does. So I will publicly thank Robmotive here and now, for all the help he has given to me! Thanks Rob!

 

Might be a job for @MaxxTRD !

 

Some guys can be pretty @ClassyTacos about it.

 

Thanks. I appreciate that
