You're welcome, kind of hard to find unless you just happen across it. I'm not a member on the forum he was advertising it on. I had to track down the receipt in my email.

I was searching for a TEQ emblem to stick in my MOMO steering wheel horn button, but all the ones I found were no longer for sale. In my hours of googling I found these and I just had to have it. I will be PISSED if someone steals it, but the quality is excellent. Has some real weight to it, not cheap and plastic.
Yeah it looks like a really quality piece. I'm gonna hate you if I end up ordering this, but man it'd look good on the grille of my Taco!

Just do it, I don't think you'll regret it. Think about all the stuff you spend 50 dollars on that you don't enjoy every time you look at your truck. Heck, 50 dollars doesn't even fill the tank anymore at the prices here.

A little progress today, spent a lot of time deciding on the overall profile of the bumper.

Well, still haven't touched the bumper since starting, but I did go on a trip down to Sequoia National Park, did some wheeling in the national forest. Didn't stop for photos really because it was just the two of us and we mostly just kept moving because it was so damn dusty. Every time you stopped you had to wait for the dust to settle before doing anything. Anyways, it was a pretty cool spot. We only got in a few hours of wheeling before the rear wheel bearings started making such terrible noises that we just called it and hiked the rest of the trip. We didn't have the tools or parts to replace them on the spot.

Haha, everyone needs that emblem, it makes me smile all the time. Worried someone will break my grille and steal it though. Hopefully that won't happen though.

My lack of a 220V outlet near where I can cut and grind and bend metal has been a major demotivator. I really need to get a shop space squared away. Not to mention we got a second E36 BMW. So, that's kept me busy keeping them both up to snuff. I'll update this when I do get my butt in gear... hopefully sooner than later.

Unless i can get the carb running right, it'll fail smog in march, but when i get the truck sorted out and running right, I'll finish the bumper. Getting ready to have a real mechanic look at it haha, I'm not very good with wiring or carbs.
