    Thanks for all the info guys!

    It's funny you guys mentioning the salesman talking about the hood scoop as a selling point, I believe that was the 2nd thing my guy said to me "It's got that nice, mean looking scoop on there too!" I was like "yeah, it looks ok but it doesnt do anything"

    And while I was test driving it, I already knew it had the sport package with bilsteins.. and I asked him, to see if he knew.. I said "And this one has the sport and better suspension on it, right?" He literally pulled the window sticker off and read every single thing on there to me lol

    haha I had a sales man do the same thing after he told me they didn't make the off road package anymore.

    Welcome and my only advice is start a second savings account for yourself. After reading all the mods and cool shit you can do with your taco, you're going to need it

    Oh yeah, I know! I was looking at getting a new jeep 4 door sport and lift, lockers, tires.. onboard air.. you name it, I wanted it.. had a list built in a few days worth $10,000+ in parts lol.

    Im going to try and take it slow when I do get a Taco though, wait till stock tires are done before a lift/tires...so I can have more money for bills and guns ;)

    I would've loved the JBL upgrade, but what are you gonna do. If I could change two things, it would be the JBL and wheels/tires. Other than that, I'm good.

    I have my taco also with the navi/jbl system and it is amazing. I came from a G35 with the bose system which I was never impressed with, and this system really made me happy.

    I have the trd sport with a 3 inch leveling kit in the front and 2" in the front and currently have 295/70/17 AT (Mud terain rubbed to much). I rub slightly on full turn but am going to buy some 1" wheel spacers which should fix that problem.
