Looks great.

Thanks Kirk.

It's off to the bush tomorrow to take some poser shots.

There was considerable discussion as to the ARB sticking too far out, but it appears to be a non issue.

When I get a chance, I'll place nose to nose with Keoni's to do a comparison.

I'm quite pleased with it.

I had one that as exactly the same as well, should have never sold it.

Area52 - incredible-looking truck! There's something about that color that I love every time I see pics of your Tacoma.

One thing you might want to consider is leaving a little larger gap between the bumper and the fenders. Looking at this pic, it looks like it's around 1/8" or less, and if I remember correctly (it's been a few months since I installed mine), ARB recommends something like 5/8"-3/4" of gap to avoid having contact between the bumper and the fenders when the frame flexes.
