    So I've noticed that forums on our TW and Tundras sister site have Threads dedicated to armor recommendations but not really on here. I say its time to change that!

    I'll start with Coastal Offroad. For the 1st gens they offer bumpers, sliders, and skids. All of their plate armor products are offered in 3/16" steel or 1/4" aluminum for those that want to save weight. The bumpers also have several options from bull bars to light cut outs. They are even working on making a rear bumper for you guys soon!

    For anyone interested, you can also use code "SOCALTOYOTAS" for 5% off your order. This code doesn't expire and is can be used multiple times

    High clearance front bumper:

    (yes its a 2nd gen but this shows the more updated design, less boxy)

    Skid Plates:

    Sliders:

    What do you guys think? I know the market for 1st generation is limited, but lets celebrate the companies that do make things for us and show them off. Let's see your pics!

    Have you considered putting this in the Armor forum?

    No because that forum is filled with 5th gen stuff. I wanted this to be specific for the 1st gen guys. They do the same gen specific threads on Tundras.com and Tacomaworld. The 5th gens have the same thread stickied in their forum too
