Ok Y'all here are some pic's of my Taco. This is not a ego thing this is a idea exchange. Maybe there's something I can help y'all with , I doubt it after seeing the Taco's around this forum. Tu Compadres , Suty

That is a fine looking Tacoma! :wavey:

Explain what the switches do ...and who made the bumpers/sliders?

Man, great attention to detail and a very clean presentation. You do good work.

I cannot mount my extreme air in the engine compartment, due to the ABS (that I wish I did not have)

I look forward to watching your progress!

DD, Thanks, the switches operate the Air Comp., Front Lights, Rearward Facing Lights and a extra for a later addition. The Rear Bumpe/Swing Away Tire Carrier was made by a guy in WV, he was going by the name of OverKill Off Road, but that was a couple of years ago . I looked for him lately and could'nt find him on the net. It's a very rugged setup with a high lift mount, and cut-out in the bumper to secure your highlift tongue. The Sliders came from a Welder in the NW who had'm on ebay to begin with, he too seems to have faded. I have this knack evidentally ,for finding great stuff , then losing them. I however have a Demello Bed Bar and he's still kick'n. I hope this helps? Tu Compadres, Suty

Thanks for the speedy response Suty and very very clean set up... curious to see what option gets that extra switch.

Thanks Suty for the info - I have given Jason Demello plenty of cash this year ;)

Nice clean ride!

A true role model. I wish I was that conserned with polish. I try to do stuff relatively clean but DAMN!

Did you just paint the camo on the console stuff or is it a printed graphic?

Also could you post a pick of your swing out tire carrier hinge and latch. I am gonna retro one onto my custom bumper I built last year and am looking for ideas.

Nullifier, Thanks for the kind words..like I said when I posted these picks this was not about my ego ,rather it's to exchange idea's. So with that in mind here we go: Console was done by me as well as the accents on the outside. The Stuff is a heavy duty vinyl (like contact paper) only rugged stuff. It is sold by Camoclad and they make it in most pattens known to hunters. You peel off the adhesive back , stick down were you want it, and squeege it in place. I will be at the Fire Station till Monday. I will post pictures when I get back. The way the carrier mounts to the Bumper is through a Spindle / Bearing set up. It will be easier to show then explain. I hope this helps a little till I can get the Digital Camera out . Thanks, Tu Compadres, Suty

Nice looking rig Suty! I've been contemplating a bumper like that design. Just gotta get of my laurels and buy some steel.

Nice job Suty! I really like it, clean and functional. One question, why the camo on the interior? I think that cover looks pretty sweet, is it washable (can you srub it?). I allways got some soda stuck on mine from the bumps getting to the trail. I guess its time to start drinking water more, but i cant find a good spot for my Nalgene bottle!

FW, Nice look'n Taco yourself ( I checked out your link) . Being a Traditional Bowhunter, Camo is near to my heart, I guess thats why. Also, I was able to get it into my Instrument Bezel . Sometimes I can't even see my guages (just kidding). It is a Rugged , Heavy Duty Vinyl that can be scrubbed. I hope this helps. Thanks, Tu Compadre, Ken
