    Hey everyone, I just decided to join today. I have to admit, I have been lurking for a few years just reading up on the wealth of information this forum provides. A little bit about my truck, I bought a 2011 DC PreRunner TxPro back in 2010. I pretty much kept it stock until just a couple months ago. I got my inspiration from JdMeF9SiR2's truck here on this forum. To keep it short and simple, Im excited about joining and also, since ive been lurking for so long, I thought it was only fair that I post my project as well.

    A few weeks ago I decided to pull the trigger:
    5100's all around
    eibach/toytec coils in the front
    Wheelers 1.5" progressive AAL
    Falken Wildpeaks 285/75/16
    Light Racing UCA

    Other Mods/time killers:
    Plasti-dip front grill and emblem, all badges and rear chrome bumper
    duplicolor "beadlcoks" on trd rims
    yellow fog lights

    Here are a few pics of before and after the lift.

    Welcome to the club.
    You've done a pretty good job with what mods you've added so far.
    Are you going for the "murder" look for your Taco? If so, are you gonna darken your head and taillights?

    Thanks guys!
    TXBluStreak - I wasnt originally, but as I was getting bored I started plastidiping or duplicoloring things black and I liked the results. Before I knew it, just about everything was black! Not knocking on anyone with headlight or tail light tint, just not my cup of tea so probably not.

    icallhertaco11 - Thanks, im trying not to be the newbie here haha

    I was a member of nasioc for a while as I had an 06' STi. Needed something more practical and met my weekend warrior needs (light offroading, snowboarding, mt biking, fishing.....). It all made sense to get a truck since I couldnt financially support both. I do miss a fast car but for now, I couldnt be more happy with the tacoma other than the fact that I should have gotten a 4x4. Oh well, hopefully when toyota pulls the trigger bringing the d4d here or a new turbo diesel??

    Oh I don't blame ya, I wouldn't tint my original head/ tail lights either. Overtime, the films crack and then it wouldn't as look good.
    Overall, you've done an excellent job with it, keep up the good work!
