    ^^ Nice.

    This was a reason why I took mine off, so I will not damage the exhaust system.

    Your Taco is amazing and that's the same direction, I want to take my Taco in :)

    Yeah I wanna get on the next trail run! I was invited by my friend who is member here. He attended on Saturday. He has a 2000ish Tundra. I have seen all the pictures and it looked like a blast!

    I am going to lift my taco with fat Bob's kit, than run the stock tires to the ground and look for used set of wheels/tires. Are you running 33"'s? Did you notice significant drop in performance with those tires on?

    I am dangerous around cars :( I used to have 2004 Nissan Sentra 2.5L which I put Treadstone turbo kit on, ran 10psi of boost with custom engine management, 3" QTP cutout, bunch of suspension mods, etc... I had easily 6-7k in that car, just in parts, I do all my work myself...

    I had to trade it in, because I abused it too much, it needed 1k in repairs and I needed a truck for work...

    Now the mod bug is biting again... FML lol

    There has been a significant drop in performance. With 33s my MPG and low end torque have decreased. I knew what to expect when I chose to put 33s on my truck. I will be regear in the beginning of October.

    Yeah, I figured as much... However our 4banger Taco's are not speed demons as it is so, I am going for good looking, capable truck, not a dragster...lol

    I have read through your showoff and it seems that with nice tires the 2wd Taco is definietly off-road capable, which is nice to know! :thumbsup:

    I am de-badging the truck this weekend & picking up a can of VHT night shade - can't wait!

    His truck does hold up amazingly well out, especially with the KM2's on. Also if you wanna wheel, you might want to look into an aftermarket locker... that'll help you out a lot too.
