Thanks guys!

Yea, no plans to add a winch. But with some slight changes, I think one could be added pretty easily. There is quite a bit of room under the top plate. I really dig the winch bumper that is on the TLT Tacoma. That bumper is awesome!

I agree, the bumper looks very cool. I like how you gave it a point in the front instead of a straight bar. Adds a little more to the look
So what'd you end up doing with the ARB?

Since bajataco.com is one of my regular stops, I saw your writeup a couple days ago.
Great work and very cool to see and read about the evolution of it.

Whenever I see your truck, the saying "great 4x4's are made, not bought" keeps popping into my head. Thanks for sharing it!!

Thanks - not too many people mention (or notice?) that.

I went from chrome/black...




to black/black




to white/white
