    5" tuff country suspension lift, 33" Maxxis Buckshot II tires
    Alright, so this is not the first time I have been to TW, been following a few threads for a while now. I am the proud owner of a 1997 Tacoma SR5 3.4L. My dad bought her in 2000 and it was the truck I learned how to drive a stick in. Dad blew a head gasket at 350k and I replaced the motor a few months after he passed. Had an accident a year later and she has sat in the mechanics lot for the past couple of years. Anyways she is back in action with 370k on the chassis and a rebuilt 3.4L with 160k on it. Replaced all of the necessities to get her back on the road and went ahead and added a tuff country 5" suspension lift and will be tossing on some new wheels with 33" Maxxis Buckshot II tires on her tomorrow.

    If anybody has any suggestions as to further mods (especially for a heavy duty front bumper/winch combo) it would be greatly appreciated!
