New Tacoma, Mod Help

Virtual handshake firmly accepted. Glad i could help. I upgraded to 17s because i wanted to change the look of my truck. 17s are perfectly fine since the overall tire size is the same. It will just be a 5% difference in sidewall height. Just watch your backspacing. Stock wheels have a backspacing of 5.5 in which means your gonna want to get wheel spacers if you upgrade. If you buy new rims Be sure to at least go 4.75-4.25. Most aftermarket rims for our trucks i looked at are 4.5 or so. Mine are 4.75. Im running 265/70/17s which are awesome and i dont have to trim or do anything. I didnt rub stock except on the mudflaps. J

 

Idk how you can spend that much on window tints haha. Mine cost 160.00 fully guarenteed and installed everything.

 

Check out BDS-suspension.com
6" lift with FOX coil over's....mmmmmm.

 

1. There are so many sliders. Allpro is having a free shipping promo to hawaii so im about to buy the apex one. Its heavy duty with the fill plates and all. But if you go bolt on its better to get one that has supports on the frame. Ones that have extra support on the frame. Otherwise with welding they are all strong enough to support weight of the whole truck. And some are about the same price as running boards. Ridiculous haha. I like the kick out since it helps you get into the bed. And if you get a packrack easy to stand on to access stuff. As long as you have the fill plates. You dont want to fall into the spaces between the bars. Ive seen allpro and bamf sliders with fill plates. Both had kick outs. Super nice. Defintely get sliders with the kick outs imo.
2. Oem taco skid is what the one guy said. Splash guard. Some aftermarket skids can be used to jack up the front end. They are that strong. Oem skid is not suitable as armor.
3. Front bumper will give you better approach angles and if theres deer in your area a good smack wont hurt a steel plate bumper. But as mentioned you might need to just get a heavier spring. Icons are decently stiff so if you did get them and set at 3. It would still be fine armored. If all your concerned about is mounting a light bar then a bumper guard would save you alot of money you could probably get your light bar and bumpers installed for the price of a plate bumper.

 

Here ya go. Between the wheels,tires,& suspension.. plus window tint & k&n intake, magnaflow exhaust.. I got approximately $6000.00 extra in my 2015. After I get some f/r bumpers. And randy ellis sleeksters you can add another $3000.00+. Anyway long story short. Buy every easy bolt on you can!!

 

well yeah im not spending that much on tint trust me haha

i got a place lined up for about the same price you said. i want a little darker tho in the front, but your tint looks good

 

yeah im really liking what i see from a couple companies, i know i will buy from them.

1. all pro for pack rack
2. method for wheels
3. B.A.M.F. for sliders
4. icon for suspension/ lift
5. CVT for roof top tent
6. the list will grow

so can you recoment the best place to look for good under armor / skid plates

 

Same rims bro. Methods !!!

 

I havent actually tinted my windows yet. I got it quoted but havent been able to like up schedules. Soon.

Good plan you got there. All solid stuff.
6. Ohhhh yesss. Youve caught the plague.

 

Yeah I thought tuners were bad and expensive lol

 

I would add Weathertech floormats, and some good seat covers
Doesn't hurt to protect your interior

 

I recommend AVEC for the LED lights. Ive got a few from him and they seem like a great product so far for a really good price. Talk to mikevee on this forum to get prices. He will give you much lower prices than what the retail prices are on their website.

 

I'm selling a rigid industries 50" if your interested

 

Methods for the win!
