    I've been on this site for awhile, and have managed to keep the upgrade bug at bay.........

    I am getting deployed this week, and am looking for any, and all suggestions for upgrades.....

    I have an exhaust, K&N filter, and factory front skid plate......

    I plan on rims and tires, a TOYTEC 3" lift, and am juggling a turbo/supercharger.......

    I was playing with the idea of trading it out with a 4dr JEEP, but $$$$$ wise, is better to continue with my Tacoma......

    For those that look at my picks, you'll see that I have a Bed Tent for it, and I really like it.....One of the few 6 spd manual tacomas around........Aparently, everyone else has the automatic.....

    Looking for idea's......I plan to storm trooper it out, any suggestions welcome.........Granted I will have over a year to look and think about it all.....

    Thanks in advance...

    When I deployed, I didn't thought about my truck. I thought about going home safely and not get hit by IDF... Good luck to you. But when I got home, I thought about my truck again. HEHE :)

    ImMrYo Rear view mirror lift bracket. Changed out mud flaps. Salex glove box organizer. OEM Ashtray (cup). AVS Step Shields. 16x8 SCS F5 Matte Jet Black. 265/75 16 Cooper St Maxx. OME Bp-51s. U.S. Offroad Winch Mount (in process) Smittybuilt x20 12k synthetic winch (in process) More....
    Thank you for your service!

    It's good to have something from back home to focus on (on your down time) and you should be able to log some time on TW.

    I just put SCS F5 and 265/75 16 tires on and the change was drastic (in a good way).
    I see you have been on this forum for a lot longer than I have and probably know what is out there for mods.
    If your tall (I am 602) the best mod I have, and always will be, is the ImMrYO Mirror relocation bracket.

    Stay safe and keep your head down.

    Save your money until you get back. Then mod your truck. Not to be an ass but I would concentrate on work and leave everything else behind you for the time being. One little slip on a mission and it could be someones life. For when you get back I say wheels, tires, and a lift. If there is some deployment money left go for a S/C
