    That looks sweet and I'm sure it does much better than the stock crap. Just make sure the leafs max out before the shocks.

    Hey, I love my stock muffler! People give me crap for it but I love the silence, especially when driving the truck on the street listening to music while blasting the A/C!

    Oh and if I ever lower a taco in the future which I'm sure I probably will, for some reason I have always loved the nexo ts-8 and 10's.

    The offset has always been right where I want it, to put the tire out just a tiny bit but enough to keep it within the fender well when I drop or bag it.

    But on my Lexus SC4 I do really like the Enkei Aegis still; no matter how shredded they are.

    I guess you changed your mind about selling the truck? I saw it on the BG craigslist page.

    Haha yea. I'm going to school in Lima OH. 6 hours away. I figure I'm better off keeping the taco.


    You know anyone from Russell county at WKU?

    Angle your shocks a bit more forward and the 12" will suit you fine. Its all in cycling to get everything set up perfect ;) and holy shit you need brake lines lol

    Look into hellwig swaybars. Youll most likely need to weld some tabs to the axle and maybe the frame. Is there a reason you need the rear sway bar?

    They are 100% in rain and dry. Good MPGs, handling, and noise.

    I am willing to sacrifice the above for better snow traction. when new they were about satisfactory. with 30,000 miles on them, i need more turn-in confidence in the snow. it understeers like a bitch in slush. then on the other hand it sometimes oversteers in powder, idk its just very touchy.

    in the mud they get caked up and slip, but with momentum they are ok. def no BFG AT2.

    to sum it up, they are a quality agressive highway tire.

    i will probably go with either 265/70 or 75 duratracs next. if i were in florida the revo2s for sure.
