    My tacoma was a Craigslist find that was wrecked with 105k miles. It took me about a month to gather parts, repair, and pass state patrol. Since then I've been on many adventures and absolutely love that truck. But of course...its not done like most the tacomas on this forum. It's a mild build with the simple mentality of keeping it as stock as possible to retain reliability and average 20mpgs but also do great on the trails. Ive been contemplating on getting bigger tires but after doing some rather difficult trails and managing on stock tire size, i think ill stick to them but we 'll see.

    Currently I'm running stock steelies on 265/70r16 tires, canopy, and two 9inch led lights up front.
