    Hi all, first post. Just got a great deal on a completely base 2008 Regular cab manual 4x2 2.7 and couldnt be more thrilled with it. I wanted the Prerunner with the buckets, but they are so dang hard to come by and I actually really dont mind the bench.

    With all that said, the one thing I dont like is the stance on my truck. I basically want my truck to have the same stance as its 4x4 counter part. How do I get that done? Do I need to go the lift route, or would a bigger tire be enough to get the job done?

    A quick search through the vendors here should to the trick. I've seen a few lift kits for the 5 lug trucks to make them look more like a Prerunner.

    5 lug truck IS a prerunner. He would like to look like a 4x4. I can sell you 4 new lug nuts to be glued onto your wheels giving you 6 lugs....just like me :D

    A girl I know constantly says delish. She's actually pretty cool overall but I do give her a hard time for it.
