Well it's time to get started on making and finsihing up some new products for our line of TACOMA stuff. We have pretty much got our turn around time on sliders,bumpers & bed bars down to same day or with in a week. So What do all you want next?
My very next project is to finish up our light bar. That will be this week.
But after that what do you want?
Skid plate?
front winch bumper?
rear cheap tube bumper?
money tree?
Front winch bumper (shown with out winch mounts)
Front skid plate.
Just let me know what you want next so i can kinda gauge my importance of new products.
I've been pondering a cargo rack that sits just above the bed recently, something that you can mount shovels and highlifts on, and maybe an option for a jerry can bracket, or a CO2 bracket, and still have room ontop for other junk.
Something that's easily removable if you've gotta shove something big in the bed.

Going from what he said, maybe tie in a simple light bar arch for lighting on top of the cab. I really want to make bed bar that has an arch extending to the top of the cab for lights...I can :welder: but I don't have a bender, so I'm out of luck as far as personal fabrication goes.
On second thought, would you be able to bend the tubing and just ship it as a weld it yourself kit? Might save on shipping...hmmm...you have me thinking now.
I need to make it still but I'm thinking 400.00-500.00 it will have laser cut one position mounting brackets (no body lift) with shackle mounts. I don't think it will be a full wrap around but it will still offer some rear protection on the rear corner panels.

I could do one like that. cost would be a little much but I could do it! I would like to do a few local first so I can correct any problems that might accure. I'm not sure of cost until I look at his again and or build one.
As of right now I do them for around 400.00 but those are built by hand not really in a fixture! I built a fixture for it but have changed it a couple times.
We don't like to make something then just turn around and hope there is no problems! We have made a few of them and most of them have been in-house installs. we pretty much have the design now tho! We just need to get parts lazer cut, that way it fits the same everytime!

ive been thinking the same thing by taking my existing bed bar, making another of similar if not exact material, weld two horizontal bars about 40" long or so from one to the other. and make a rack out of some flat bar. the removeable idea sounds good.
hey jason, if i send you some of my designs you think you can critique me on the r&d. im looking mostly to make it myself

how about a skidplate to work with the fabtech 6" lift? Or at least somethig to protect the steering rack as the one it comes with protects the diff only. My guess is that the design on all drop bracket lifts is fairly similar with regard to the rear bracket because of the steering rack. At least with my lift, the rack is fairly vulnerable.
Or how about a rear tire carrier that can bolt to the factory bumper!
I like the above bed rack too, but with a spare tire mount, maybe like thule type rack that mounts to a pair or three bed bars...hmmmm.......I really like that idea

The 2.4/2.7L Toyota engines are known for their extreme longevity, and there are even some reports on here of 3.0L V6's pushing over 250k. After hitting 150k today in my truck, I am curious how much longer other 3.4L's have gone without being rebuilt. I drive the shit out of my truck, about 3k...
I'm the original owner of a 2000 V6 4x4. It's got 170K mi and has lived a mostly easy life. I installed a 3" RevTek spacer lift kit in 2003 (mistake) and have had issues with tire wear and rough ride since. All these years alignment and tire shops were telling me it was all right but it wasn't...
Anyone know what the idler pulley bearing # is, ie 6201 or 6301 for a 3.4L?
I replaced it at 150K miles with a rear hub bearing from a motorcycle shop but didn't write in my log what it was.
Even better if you can tell me what bike rear hub is the same, I remember the bike shop required a bike...
I have a 98 V6 Tacoma, that has a frequent but intermittent stumble at mid RPM and part throttle. No CEL or stored codes, coil packs are original, plugs and wires were replaced in summer of 2018. It did seem one of the plug wires was not firmly staying connected to the coil, and I thought that...
03 Tacoma/03 Sequoia mixup. I have a 03 Tacoma with a bad 3RZFE, W59 tranny and J shift transfer case. I picked up an 03 Sequoia that had a tree fall on it. My question is, if i run the 2UZFE with a A340F, will i be able to run the J shift transfer case behind it?
Thanks,
Kenneth
