    Hello tacoma world!

    I am new to this site, and am looking for suggestions and prices from experience on some things to do to my 2015 trd offroad. I currently have a hidden light bar and that's about it! Going to get rid of the chrome grill surround and get a color matched one. I am looking for suggestions and prices on some upgrades. I want bigger tires but I don't want to do too much to my suspension(leveling kit or maybe a little more). I've heard of the icon kits being good, but I don't know much about them. I would like to fit 265 70 17 without having to trim anything. Would just the icon coilover shocks give me enough lift to do this? Would just installing shocks raise my truck? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Also looking for good 17" rims, or where I can get the black trd pro rims for a good price. Also Open to any suggestions.

    Also looking for a slim looking roof rack. I like the frontrunner, but I don't like the price. Anything similar but with a lower price tag? I would like to be able to mount a rooftop tent, and a light bar in the front.

    Last thing is bed rails or basket. I want to put bars over my truck bed that would also be able to support a rooftop tent if I decide to switch location. Suggestions and prices please!

    Pictures of your setups would greatly help as well for me to get an idea!

    Thank you all for your help! I am looking forward to being a part of the tacoma world community

    Welcome to TW.

    I would highly suggest spending the next week or two reading. Read more, and then some more. You'll have a far better handle on things and learn so much you could probably answer these questions for the next guy.

    Answers or easy, but knowledge is power. Your money = your research.

    There are tens of thousands of pictures here, check the build thread section.

    Lift is clean! But afraid to void warranty. Also I've been looking for a good setup for hood mount ditch lights!

    Because it is. It comes like that factory. I assume he either got the same all around or just a little more in the back to anticipate bed weight.

    Im not talking about the stink bug stance, I mean his bed literally looks higher in the rear than the front. Look at where the bed/cab come together.

    Very nice build though! You have a lot of what I'm shooting for in the future.

    It does look like the crack is closer at the top than bottom

    Roof rack is by prinsu. Bed bars are from relentless

    Warranty is only voided if they can prove it was the cause. Obviously the shocks, leafs and uppers wouldn't be covered

    Hit a shelf when I was wheeling. Shifted the bed up a bit

    Chevy 63 leafs and kings all around

    It is. Hit a shelf when I was wheeling at shifted the bed a bit
