    I've been lurking around the site for a while and finally decided to sign up.
    I'm not new to the toyota scene but am new to the tacoma scene.
    I have owned an AE86 which was my second car.
    DSC02914_2ecc1d6f14462951127e9a43675284a00d7c7a3d.jpg

    I was always a car guy and ended up buying a 4runner for winter and fell inlove with it and it wasn't long until i started modding it for offroading.
    My first truck was a 1999 toyota 4runner limited.
    Had a crappy spacer lift on it, an arb bumper, rear diff breather mod, 265/75/16 duratracs and spidertrax wheel spacers.

    and a shot before i sold it

    I than got myself in an 04 acura tl and instantly regretted selling the 4runner.
    So my search began for a 2nd gen tacoma.
    I ended up lucking out and picking up a 2006 Toyota Tacoma access cab TRD offroad with 60,000 kms on it from an original owner.
    Ill upload pictures in a bit.

    List of mods to come include:
    BHLM
    Paint match the front grill
    OME 884's with top plate spacer and rear add a leaf
    OME nitrochargers
    265/75/16 BFG all terrains
    Also have a set of SSR auswuch rims 16x8 0 offset which will make their way on eventually.

    thanks Geoff. I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it. I have so far.

    Just a little undecided on what struts i want to go with..
    I already have a set of OME 884's and top plate spacers and an aal for the rear.
    I'm just deciding on whether to go with the ome struts or billstein 5100 struts.
    Lots of people say both are good..
