    So after using tacomaworld for constant questions and modifications, I've decided to pull the trigger on the account.

    I've had my 2015 Tacoma Pro Sport 4x4 V6 since she came off the assembly line, currently about 95k miles. My original goals were to transform it into an off road vehicle, but unfortunately there are scarce places to off road legally in Fort Myers, FL. Over the past couple years I have been slowly leaning towards power over versatility. Here is the list of mods in order chronological order.

    - K&N Cold Air Intake
    - Flowmaster Dual Exhaust
    - 3" Fox suspension lift
    - 20x10 XD Heist on 32.5's
    - N-Fab Roof Mounts w/ 52" Curved Led Lights
    - N-Fab 2.5" Tube Front Bumper w/ 32" Dual Lights
    - N-Fab Side Steps
    29177589_10215568564555488_950061592102305792_n.jpg
    I had this set up for a couple years, along with lots of fancy lights (LED Underlights/headlights/tailights/pods) until early 2018 when I thought "bigger is better right?"

    - 6" Fox Suspension Lift (No front shocks)
    - 22x12 Fuel Rampage on 33's

    Not only did this set up slow me down, it pretty much eliminated my turning radius. So I figured "more power = go fast", from there I added

    - Magnuson Procharger
    - URD Upgraded Fuel Pump
    - 2.85" Stealth Pulley
    - JBA Short Tube Headers
    - Magnaflow Catback Exhaust
    - OrangeVirus Tune

    The performance parts really enhanced the power, and since then its become an addiction, I am currently searching for smaller and lighter wheels, along with some regearing work. Just recently I purchased

    - URD Y-pipe
    - 2.55" URD Stealth Pulley
    - URD 7th Injector Assembly
    - 800cc Injectors
    - UCON-EMS Advanced Engine Management System

    I have also since removed the roof light bar because it was noisy as hell, as well as my side steps because of they were broken in an accident. Parts are not yet installed, currently looking for a more reputable shop in my town (since the last shop fucked me). But once I do I'll post some reviews and hopefully dyno numbers.41585522_2278323395529767_7309332110639104000_n (1).jpg 41549989_2278323372196436_8404432514944335872_o.jpg

    Apparently the fox lift only comes with front springs and rear shocks. Front shocks are definitely due for an upgrade, truck hasnt been level with either lift kit, will mostly likely get new ones when I downgrade the wheels.

    Agreed, wheels are too damn big. And I'm not sure of the name but it was a stock option on the 2015 model
