    Hey all!

    Been reading for a few days so I thought I would introduce my self. Been driving a T100 for 7 years. Got it up to 230,000 with no problems. Sold to a friend and bought a 2016 Tacoma SR. I wanted to go to the TRD Pro but couldn't afford it. I needed the low miles for a cheaper price.

    I want to start a build but not sure where to start. I don't want to get in too deep off the start because I am not sure the purpose of the truck yet.

    I ordered 16x8s with 265/75.

    Advice on what should be done first is much appreciated!

    Sounds like you need to figure your part out first before anyone can help you.

    But my advice on any build is to just run the truck for a season in stock form. It will become apparent what you will need. Or more importantly, NOT need.

    First thing you should do is decide what direction you want to go. Overlander? Prerunner? Brocoma?
