    Oh nice thanks! They are 15s. So either way. Would just put 31s on it anyways so shouldn't be too expensive but I haven't looked yet. Was at the gym

    Can airing down tires really make that much of a difference?

    5k is probably a little more than wife will let me spend, 2500 to 3000 is more likely.
    I was looking at the baja designs squadron sport, yes they are plug and play. I don't really want to do a full bumper. I like some of the slimline/sso bumpers with the winch built in, but thats more for the winch - the bumper doesn't really protect anything. Is some type of light bar a good idea as well?

    Huge difference. Bet is also very dependant on what tires you have and wheel size.

    A full hoop bumper with help protect your truck hell just a normal one will. My dad's doesn't have any hoops and he hit a cow and didn't hurt a thing.

    You might be able to piece together your own kit for less. But still would go for quail shocks no matter what.

    I love Monte and Ben's arguments. The best part is I never know who's side I'll be on. It switches from argument to argument, or in the middle of an argument. :rofl:

    Correct. Yours is.

    If I got it I'd have a truck to drive work in some of the worst conditions that is basically brand new. While I tear igor apart and fix him.

    Then Devin has a backup for when it snows..which it does often..and can actually get out of the driveway. And if I hit another deer. No worries.

    I don't see a down side really. It's a rare tacoma. Be hilariously fun to drive. And is in pristine shape.

    I was looking for a fun awd car or wagon. But too much money to buy and maintain and if is snows a lot would have the ground clearance.

    I can afford it. And afford to fix my rig and other truck with no time pressure or having to pay a shop.

    All assuming I get it..

    I have the Falken Wildpeak AT3 - E load 265/70/17. FN FX wheels - not beadlocks. What pressure would you recommend? Is there a big need for sliders up there? If I am not going out of my way to drive over stuff, can I get away without?
