    Thanks man! Read somewhere on here you will be going to school in CO. I would have missed seeing your truck around town but this Friday is my last shift at 74. I will be working out of 76 which is off Oracle and Magee starting next week.

    Have fun and good luck in Colorado man!

    Thanks man.

    My truck is still getting close to 310 miles. It usually takes 19 gallons when I fill up. 17 mpg average. I recommend these tires!

    Thanks guys. I don't know what to do next. I kind of want to crank my front to 2.5" and get a 1.5" AAL for the rear to get it to sit a bit higher. But I don't want to spend the money. I'm just waiting for the Wet Okole group buy to start up so I can get some covers for my front seats. Not too worried about the rears right now.

    Nice! Will have to do one of these days.

    How bout a brush guard or nerf bars? That would look mean.

    Nah. I don't think brush guards look that great on our tacos. And I'd rather put on sliders than nerf bars. But I can't justify throwing money towards sliders when I don't do any CRAZY off-roading.

    I think Wet Okoles are the next purchase. That will guarantee my interior some protection and will be useful right away.

    What else you think.

    I really like how your tires/wheels sit with the TSB and 5100's. Do you know what the backspacing is for your wheels? They sit in there perfectly.

    What do you have by way of audio? That's something you can enjoy on or off road.

    TRD Supercharger!

    Bed extender or roof rack....

    A nice boat would look awesome behind there...;)

    I have been looking for Tacos around town with the roof racks. I've been wanting to leave a note on the truck saying I'd like to buy their rook rack off them if they aren't using it. Have only done it once and the guy texted me saying he uses his. Oh well. Keep trying I guess.

    I don't know if I want to spend the money on the supercharger yet. Would like to pay off the 10k I owe on my truck first.

    Nice man. I am wanting to get new springs for my truck and eventually go up to 2.5" and get an AAL for the rear. I don't think I will do that till my truck is paid off though.

    Not sure if I want to keep the yellow fogs or take the paint off and get yellow bulbs. Also thinking about taking off the TRD decals and maybe getting some black TRD ones from SockMonkey. What do you guys think?

    I'm still working on finding someone around town with a rear base black bumper to trade for my chrome bumper but no luck yet. Also working on buying OEM roof racks. Would still like to tint my taillights and brake light. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

    dude, you should have told me! I have a stock rear bumper thats black. It's not in perfect shape, but i would have given it to you for free until you got whatever you wanted.

    You should post your bumper on craigslist tho, i sold mine pretty easy. I think i got like 180-200 for it

    Well I just ordered a Flowmaster Super 44 for $66 shipped. The Wicked Flow wasn't the sound I was looking for. Will post pics once its delivered and installed.

    Big thanks to ColtsTRD and roboots21 for answering my questions and helping me out with pricing!

    Bump.

    Love the build. Looks very clean. As someone once said (in which thread I can't remember), THIS is how the truck should have looked from the factory.

    I do hope/believe my truck will soon be the White cousin to yours. Thanks for the help and your swift response to my PM. Much appreciated. :cheers:

    Have you thought about eibach coils, 5100s set at .85 and the 1.5 TSB AAL? Wouldn't that grips the same lift?
