The ARB bumper looks so good on 1st gen trucks.

Yeah, I think so too.

Picks of Westin bed rail caps and one without.
I think they fit and quality is pretty good for the price about $65 on amazon.

Excuse the thumb pick.

Fender flare painting

This paint has held up pretty good over the last year, just do the prep work right ruff the plastic and clean with some acetone or isopropyl alcohol 90% just watch your paint. It would be better to remove the flares but I didn't want to buy new clips to remount.

 

[French]

Please post more 1st Gen. Tacoma pictures to give me suggestions or ideas for this build.

 

[French]

Put one of my badges on the Tacoma.

@French

What model is your rear tire carrier and did you need to remove the bumper to mount it? I'm thinking about something similar for my '97 to carry H2O, Gas, and recovery gear. Being hitch mounted I could move it to the back of my popup when towing. This looks like a good start compared to what I've been looking at.
