    Been in a 2G Tacoma for a while. Then life changed and we had a kid. So wife convinced me and gave the green light to sell it and get something new. Landed on a 2015 T4R Trail edition. Drove it home from Arizona and already like it a lot. The SUV cabin is so much better with a kid. Is my daily driver, which is much more than I used to when I bought the Taco. So trying to keep this build “reasonable”. Excited to join the gang!

    Yeah it did! Victory 4x4 front winch bumper. Already replaced the winch hook with the factor55 flatlink. Would like to swap to a synthetic winch rope line too. And idk if its just me or my tacoma rock sliders were extra beefy, but i feel like the rock sliders this came with seem small.

    and you already got ditch lights installed...

    those rock sliders on yours are better than the predator steps that came on mine...for $695

    Plenty of threads here discussing various slider brands,
    I decided on flat RSG with full plate and kickout and ordered a couple weeks ago

    Yeah i will keep these for a while. There is a guy out here in SoCal who made my Tacoma ones that I will probably go back to. I do love the RSG sliders though. I almost went with them last time.

    I forgot about the ditch lights. I have all diode dynamic lights sitting in my garage. Once I get the chance, I will be replacing the fog lights with the SS3's and the ditch lights with the SSC2's.

    nothing says "I Love You"...like a new set of tires!

    I will check them out too! These ones will work for now. I’m not doing anything crazy in this. Mainly as a step for the wife and kid to get in. But I want something a tad beefier eventually. I like victory 4x4 since they are based where I was born and raised.
