    I have added the stainless nerf bars, 5 piece grille, stainless bull bar, 20" rims and tires, and added a 3" suspension lift. Now it is time to do a little sound and engine work.

    Thanks guys for all the comments. Any tips on things to do to the engine to help with power and fuel economy? I am all ears.

    getting there....
    tacoma looks great man!!! nice job on the mods. for power and economy...best bang for your buck will be removing the secondary air filter and installing an afe pro dry s drop in filter in place of the stock air filter. then, you can get a free flowing muffler to make it breathe a bit better. those are the best bang for your buck, imo. then you can always get a urd maf calibrator......a little expensive, but worth it in performance gains from what i hear.
