    Hey guys, this post has been a long time coming. I've been kicking around replacing my '09 Chevy 1500 Z71 with a Tacoma for about a year. Well, this weekend I got the green light to do it! I had been watching a very nice used 2012 sit a a dealership for 2 months, so I went there first. Long story short, I drove it home a few hours later!

    I'm absolutely loving it and am kicking myself for not doing it earlier! I'm wanting to maintain decent fuel mileage, so I'm not planning a large lift or huge tires. I will need to replace tires within a few thousand miles, considering on going with Nitto Terra Grapplers just from previous experience. I would like to level or life a couple inches just for increased ground clearance, but I am going to read thru as much as I can on here first! Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
