So What Do You Want Next?

Well it's time to get started on making and finsihing up some new products for our line of TACOMA stuff. We have pretty much got our turn around time on sliders,bumpers & bed bars down to same day or with in a week. So What do all you want next?

My very next project is to finish up our light bar. That will be this week.


But after that what do you want?
Skid plate?
front winch bumper?
rear cheap tube bumper?
money tree?


Just let me know what you want next so i can kinda gauge my importance of new products.

If I could get at least 4-5 people that really wanted them I would get started on them.

Man I'm sure we could get 4-5 people... I know Lance probably has alot to say as far as design... here is my wishlist
1. a "modular" skid (like in sections so you can buy one part or the full-version) the lower radiator- where my bling taco "pebble deflector" is- looks vulnerable as well as the usual vitals underneath.
2. pumpkin rock guards-maybe silver powdercoat for bling
3. maybe something to beef up the gas tank skid- that is a low hanging item.

oh and lightweight.

I'm covered with sliders personally but I really like your stuff- got to see your work on a couple trucks and was very impressed.

full belly skids going front to the gas tank is vital. ive got something now, but its just not as strong as I'd like it. i believe a lot of people would be willing to get some of these since no one else is mass producing them anymore. (maybe trail carnage... but im not sure if they still are).

on second thought, how about just a custom one for me since my first cross member is in a slightly different location

I would be the second one on the list for a 4th gen full skid plate.

Come on guys, he says 4-5 people and he will start building....

Wishlist:

1. full skid plates
2. front bumper (although ARB might have one in the works?)
3. protection for my backside? don't really want to drag my plastic bumper and nice shiney exhaust across the rocks.
4. shackle hangers or something for recovery on the frontside (could just include those with a front bumper)

Skids would be my first priority... but shipping is always a pain with them (as it is with any of the larger items). A rear bumper would be second, though realistically I don't see that happening for me any time soon.

How about a black diamond plate tailgate cover that replaces the plastic bedliner one. It could strengthen up the flimsy tailgate on a Tacoma.
