Show me your BLACK Taco! (Unofficial Official Black Taco Forum)

2006 w new frame+leafs,etc (stock); frame recall given to owner2 ~2014. I'm owner3, overpaid but happy with what I consider a rare find: 5spd 4WD accesscab w/2.7L, most have 6cyl...and black.

Featured under my best friends: tailgate reinforcement from https://www.relentlessfabrication.com/
05+ Tacoma tail gate reinforcement - optional material choices: 14ga (.075") steel plate (24lbs); Finish: Powder coated matte black. Tricky to install when your tailgate's a bit bent (down in middle like most would be....)...I used 2x4's and clamps to squeeze it straight while barely getting it to hook/drop-in over the top. Also replaced some of the oversized-head sm bolts from dealer that attach it to the gate, and replaced the awful locking/keyed release handle w a (mfgr Dorman.

The "Automatix" yellow on black sticker: I worked at a robotics company in 80's. Snagged a sticker/label for, i think, a badass welder arm. But we got no Detroit contract, so fizzled.
Amazing that I kept the sticker,unused, almost 30 yrs before finding its true home.

Metal/custom FRONT bumper that owner2 bought... lowers my fear factor making LH turns into oncoming traffic.

 

Just added an extra leaf to my Dakars to get a bit more rake...

 

Which light bar and size? Are those baja design ambers? Looks good man!

 

I need to update my pics. Mine is a little different now. haha

Thanks! The light bar is the Morimoto X Torch 40". You are correct about the Baja Designs. I also have their flush mounts in the rear bumper.

Nice man are they the squadron sports? How do you like them? I have been looking to get somebut first a few other things. Getting my prinsu next week finally. Also nice pelfrey rear that's on my list as well.

 

Yeah they are the sports. I like them, they are pretty bright. They will drown out the headlights. The Prinsu was one of my first of the bigger purchases for my truck. It' well worth it.

Most recent picture I've gotten. Doing BHLM next week + dipping the rear bumper to get rid of the last bit of chrome...waiting on the next ebay sale to grab some tail lights.

 

Nice truck! Wanna trade bumpers? When my truck was rebuilt, the idiots put a painted TRD Sport bumper instead of a chrome bumper.
