So i became a member on this forum back when i had a 98 toyota. I ended up selling that and buying a S2000, then i realized that i live in Oregon. So i just picked up a 2004 toyota tacoma. It already has a three inch lift, wheels and tires. So i'm finally going to build the truck i have always wanted. I already have a bumper and rock sliders on the way, after that is a winch. Heres a pic of how the truck sits now:

I will post up pics as soon as the stuff arrives!

Sweet truck!

 

nice clean truck you got there! what bumpers did you get?

 

Taco, Taco!

 

I going to go with the all-pro one, i'm not a fan of the overly huge bumpers and don't plan on doing really intense wheeling so i don't see the need for a overly large bumper. But i also wanted to have the option for a winch.

 

if your not set on the all pro bumper check out the trail gear one i like it

i looked at that one and because it will spend more time on the pavement i opted for the all pro because its more flush with the overall look of the truck. I like the hoop of the trail gear, but would never use its full purpose.

 

Well, thanks to UPS i got a few parts, the bumper came in and so did the rock sliders about a week ago, i have been really busy doing things for everyone els but myself. But i was able to finally get some time to do a little fab on the bumper. I'm building block off plats that will house led turn signals, and i also moved the hook for the winch to a different location. I got the rock sliders sprayed with bed liner and will be bolting them up tomorrow (will post pics after install) As for the plates, i got the template made and so this week i will get them cut and welded in, then its off to get powder coated.
Bumper and sliders when they arrived:

New hook location:

Block off plate with template, you can faintly see where the turn signal will go:

I will post up some pics once i get the pieces cut and welded. ( any comments good or bad are always welcome!)
