The newer Taco is a nice looking truck and from my perspective it is about the same size as the T. I think that I read somewhere (getting too old to remember where now), that the Taco sits on the T100 frame, but I was never able to verify it. Is there anyone out there that could check to see if the frames are about the same?

With a little bit of modification, that ARB would look sweet on my T100.
I like the ARB bumper and the Shrockworks bumper looks nice too. I would go for the most protection....to many deer here also.

Ah, no. Not the same frame at all between the Taco and the T100. Just try dropping a sheet of plywood in the bed and you'll see what I mean.

The taco has a plastic bed on the inside. YEP plastic.

The wheel wells are too close together to put a 4ft piece of plywood so they put in a couple of ledges for a cross 2x4's so it will fit but it fits on top of the wheel wells.
