Who's doing the bumpers? Is it N-Fab? They are just down the street from me and I was there earlier today, but didn't see your rig.

Shrockworks, in North Houston.

Shrockworks makes killer stuff, I was hoping they had stuff for my 4Runner, but I was too impatient to wait ... can't wait to see your Taco with one. And can't wait to see the dual-battery setup as the Taco and 4Runner are the same up front ... good deal.

ETA of the report is T minus 3 weeks. I just need to get the Taco back. I had pictures and everything, but lost the pictures during the BiBe expedition to take more pictures of BiBe and all it's glory.

Yeah it is an old list...
Engel 45 - Done!
TwoZone - Done!
RoofTop Tent - Done!
Tires and Wheels (black steel) - Tires Done!
2M Radio - Still on CB :(
Seating - Now planning on 3!
Camera System integrated to the CarPC - Still in the works
Shower - Still in the research mode.
Water/Air/Storage - Got an idea, just need to run with it once i figure the shower out.
Awning - In the works
Aux Fuel Tank - Still debating on which way to go
Lighting - oh yeah

Now to add to it:
  • Suspension (new kit on it's way!)
  • Wheels
  • Bumpers Front & Rear (both being fabbed up)
  • Cover the rack like can-back
  • Aux Lighting
  • Solar System (have parts need to fab mount)
  • Drawer sytem (awaiting water storage and Engel Relocation)

I am sure there is more... but it's a start!

Did you call Shrockworks? They have sliders and a killer front winch/bumper

Currently they only have items for the 4th gen 4Runners and 2005+ Tacomas. Wil's truck looks like the test truck for the 95.5 to 04 Tacoma equipment.

I had some money sitting there for a Suzuki bumper I was going to get, but then ended up with my 3rd Gen 4Runner and they weren't sure when that stuff was going to be built. Oh well, happy with the TJM and it's on.

can't wait to see Wil's truck ... and Mark F'n has his supercool Shrockworks bumper for his Nissan too.
