    Howdy Toyota Tacoma Gear Heads! I have been rocking a 1977 FJ40 for a long long time, but I decided that its time to change it up a bit and I bought a new to me 03 Taco TRD. Im slowly going to turn it into my adventure rig. So far all I have done it put a camper shell on it and fix the rack and pinion bushing that had more slop in them then can be imagined. Next my plan it to do a mild lift with Bilstein 5100s and OME coils. Im debating on what to do in the rear. Im thinking about just biting the bullet and putting new spring on the back instead of messing around with helper springs. I think Ill end up running 33 1050s on 15 rims so I don't need to go sky high but 2 or 3 inches of lift would be good.

    Future plans:

    ~Drawer system in the bed
    ~Roof Rack over the Camper
    ~RTT
    ~dual batteries
    ~Mean Green Alternator
    ~Auxiliary lights
    ~ARB bumper up front
    ~Winch
    ~compressor
    ~Maybe an ARB locker up front (It has the e locker in the back)

    Id also like to pull the carpet out of the cab and do something like Line X inside just to make it easier to clean. I really hate carpet in a vehicle your going to take out in the mud and muck. It just ruins the carpet.
