    I totally agree. I love my ARB. I think the only down side is that there are no recovery points. I may end up changing that down the road.

    I heard someone say that after the 1st gens they found that the Tacoma frame was too inferior to handle the recovery points and it would ruin the frame.

    I thought I also heard recovery points aren't put on ARB's because of the special frame mounts they use as crumple zones, and people who had recovery points were bending those mounts when using the bumper as a recovery point.

    Ya, but I don't really get that explination since they still allow you to mount a winch.

    Not today, but yesterday made an organizer for my center console. SalesX are a great price, but I'm inpatient. Plus I like the satisfaction of DIY

    Yeah true. Maybe recovery points off to the side create more uneven pulling and leverage on the mounts and a bad recovery enhances bending?

    Lol Idk, just what I heard

    Nothing recently, it goes in for its first oil change on wednesday.

    I will be checking the drain plug, dip stick, oil cap and filter before even pulling out of the parking lot thanks to many threads on here :mad:
