Thank you, Wingman. I'm impressed with your bumper/mount. Since I use the bed of my truck for sleeping when on overnighters or vacation trips, I don't want a bunch of stuff back there.
I don't weld or fabricate, but a friend is in business doing just that.
I'll be interested in your front jack points. I want to purchase another Hi-Lift. And a second spare tire gives some peace of mind (to BFG's credit, I've never had a flat on a All Terrain T/A, in over 250,000 miles of use on my previous 4x4 truck nor my Tacoma).
I've found that the Tacoma corners well, my commute to Trona from Owens Valley for work takes me down from the Darwin turnoff to Panamint Springs, which has some tight curves. Coming up I can keep an easy 45-50, slowing only slightly for the 25mph curves. I have simply a camper shell (SnugTop Highliner) on the rear, plus carry full time three toteboxes with gear, repair and safety supplies.
