    Here is my new/100% stock Taco, only 10 miles. Big plans for this one...I'll post pics as the evolution begins. First upgrade will be tint: 20% ATWA, thought about 5% but looking more for that functional smokey look rather than blacked out.

    Contemplating upgrade to a 6" Pro Comp Stage I suspension lift, 18" XD badlands on 34" Nitto Trail Grapplers. Cost only $3.5G!!!

    Any advice or thoughts before I indulge?

    Looking only for a BA$$ look that can be used for daily driver. Offroad if necessary...

    For the rear, get a leaf pack that provides 4.5-5" lift instead of the nasty blocks. Otherwise the axle wrap will be pretty bad. For example:

    $3.5G is only mid-pack for TW: :D

If I were to get those wheels in the exact size that came stock, do you know which one I should get, probably a stupid question, just not sure, there's a bunch of different 18's listed, thanx! Truck is going to look awesome man!

    Please don't get a drop bracket lift.

    Want a badass "look" that's also super capable?

    By haters he means the board has a diversified user base.
    Everyone likes something different.

    For sure your planned setup would be badass if done right and probably fairly offroad capable.

    Thanks a lot. Im not one to worry about what people think, especially when its negative. But its cool when someone complements you on things you do and take pride in. And spoonman's truck is definitely one I look at to get ideas from.

    I had a buddy help me Friday, that was my only night off. But the soda didnt come until after the job was done..lol I will say though, a few of my pics have a can or two in them..lol
