Recently hooked Tacoma junkie.

Hey everyone, just thought I would say hello since I just signed up. I have been looking through the forums for a while trying to decide what route to go with my 2013 4x4 double cab build up. LOTS of info here, almost too much to process. Thanks in advance to all of those who will be answering my many (likely stupid) questions. I thought I would start a build thread in a short while and bounce some ideas off all of you as I go.

Welcome, from Boone.

 

Welcome nothing stupid and all of us have been there sometime in our hobby.

 

Welcome! Like he said no question is stupid, but be prepared for some of the members to respond with "use the search button".

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome to TW

 

Hope you all don't mind but I'd like to bounce my plans off of all of you since I'm new and see what you think. 3inch bilstein lift with Dakar rear springs, total chaos uca's. Iron bull front bumper with full front brush guard w/smittybilt 8k winch. 285/75r16 bfgkm2s. Already replaced factory rims with procomp 16x8s (tossed on a Volant cold air and scoop already too). Rock sliders which I haven't decided on what kind to get yet. Some undercarriage armor which I also have not decided on yet. Lockers front and rear, which I absolutely cannot afford right now and I am also considering a rear bumper with tire carrier. Also looking into onboard air and a spot to cram it under the hood. Hit me with some thoughts on the build. Before I begin I will post this on the build thread and document the installations of all of the mentioned items.
