Can you still cruise easily down the interstate 75-80? If so, I think I'm going to lift instead of lower. I have exact same color, thanks for sharing!

Can definitely get to 75-80 but it takes a bit!

Where we are today

Ill start from the begining ...

Got my 2006 tacoma 5 lug "4cyl" in late april 2011. Best thing i ever did was trade in my 2004 gt mustang for a more dependable vehicle.
The truck came all stock except for a set of black 20' rims on 255/45/20's

Looking back i think the very first mod i did was paint the badges and tint the tail lights

Next was the anti theft tail gate cheap mod "no pic really needed for this"

People started saying i needed to paint the grill to color match and do a bhlm... so i did!

A few other things done around this time were paint my front calipers red, get the weather tech matts, and cut my tail pipe just over the axel.

I began to save knowing i didnt want a low rider. It took time and pacients but i was able to save up enough for my fatbobs lift for new shocks and aal's. Along with rims and tires.

Next was getting everything put together! it took alot of blood sweat and beers and i eventully got everything put together.
First wheel, shock, and spacer on!

Front is done in this picture. Rear hasnt been touched yet.

Then ladies and gents... i got the truck all done!

Truck doing what it does best

Thats it for now!
