    Christmas got started a little early. Skid plates that i ordered during the black Friday sale at 4xinnovations got done early. Took advantage of the warmer weather to paint the skid plates. Also took the truck to Iowa muffler in Des Moines so that the crossover pipe could be moved to fit the...

    I have been looking at pelfreybilt for pretty much all the armor. The ocd in me likes to have matching brands. I am running the stock coils on the 6112's which i believe is 610lb. The bumper maybe moved them 1/4 inch and the winch the same. They have been good for me off road, much...

    Moab/ canyonlands trip

    Ill make sure to put it on the list! My biggest concern with any of the trails is departure angle. Id like ot keep my rear bumper intact. I am getting sliders before the trip. Are there any other vehicle things i would want?

    Moab/ canyonlands trip

    Awesome! thank you. My family is big into going to national parks and doing alot of hiking. Is there any medium difficulty trails you would recommend? Enough to test the truck a little ut not hard enough to have my mom get mad at me from the back seat.

    Moab/ canyonlands trip

    Hey everyone my family is going out to Moab for the first time this spring. We will be there for about a week. I'm trying to plan out what needs to be on my list of things to do/see. I'm not looking to do any hardcore wheeling but want to do some lighter stuff. My parents and sister will be...

    Why did you go with your current vehicle?

    I chose the Tacoma mostly because of my fathers first 4runner( a 2005 i dont have a picture of). I was looking for another truck and knew i really wanted a 6' bed with a crew cab. Because i am still in college and technically live under my parents roof they had a big say in what i was getting...

    Debating on adding a 40" light bar to the truck. I actually already have the light bar from my last truck but its just been sitting in the garage since I got the taco. My first choice would be to get the prinsu cab rack which has the spot for a light bar built into the front wind deflector...

    Yeah if you’ve have good luck I wouldn’t change things up either! My luck wasn’t as good unfortunately.

    Yeah justifying the price can be difficult. I've had a mix of rigids and cheapo ones. While the bars function well the powdercoat on them hasn't held up as well and the wiring harness just came with wire leads and not an actual connector.

    Thanks! It was by far my favorite of the bumper options. And the aluminum option really sold it for me.
