    Hey guys, been reading so much on TW about some amazing builds and mods that I’ve been inspired to start my own build and try my damn best to keep this updated because I am terrible with social media and blogs in general. (I know fucking weird for someone my age 26) My first mods are going to be 3” lift kit, new wheels and KO2s (not sure what size I should go with would greatly appreciate any and all adivice/criticisms). I would also greatly appreciate where the best place to start with extensive mods should be! Thanks again for all the inspiration and beautiful builds everyone! Hope to join the big league mods eventually!

    Might be tough to put a 3" lift in a 5-lugger. Much, much easier on a prerunner. The 5-lug forum is definitely your friend.

    So I’ve noticed, and since this is my daily driver I’m thinking I may have to cut my losses on a possible off road truck. But, since I live in Mi. I’m definitely going to get new wheels and KO2s since winters are crappy here and I would like to be prepared for next winter whilst having a bit fun traveling in the spring/summer/fall. I would like to lift it for bigger wheels and tires, those stock wheels just make my spine crawl looking at it hahahaha way too small!

    Alright a bit of an update (better late then never) I decided to go with Toyo AT2 (225/75 R15) keeping the 15” wheel diameter seeing as this is my dd I want to keep somewhat good gas mileage. Tomorrow a 3” lift will be put on, and my next step I would love some input. Next step I’m looking at is regearing to 3.73 with a locker. I live in Mi and I live on dirt roads, I also love to do some trail riding. Nothing too extreme since I have rwd, I was hoping to also do some Doug thorley headers and a cat back exhaust. Which should come first? regearing? Or exhaust? (Down the road I will be looking at URD MK3 supercharger). Looking forward to hearing advice and criticisms!
