Good mods to put on 04 Tacoma

I'm trying for (hopefully) to either get rims/lift kit/ wheel spacer or any small mods for my truck. its a extended cab prerunner.

Once my classes ends I can start working full time and get overtime (excluding rent and other expenses) I'm calculation about 1200-1600.

 

I've been looking at spacers, and can't decide what size. I don't want the tires to be all the way far out but a little bit outside of the cab

 

I have about half tread to 3/4 on the tires I have right now. So I'm not in a big rush to get tires. I'm looking at Vision Turbine rims right now.

 

Depending on the wheels/tires, I'd hold off from getting spacers at all.

You can end up rubbing the inner fender if pushed out a bit much, or the frame if the wheel is seated too far in.

One thing at a time.

You mentioned lift right? Check out Bilstein 5100s or the Old Man Emu kit.

 

Look at Stealth Custom Series. Won’t need spacers with the right offset.

 

@Red Taco 43 , how about some more information on your truck. How many miles are on it, what kind of Transmission. What kind of condition is your current suspension in. If it's factory original then it's more than likely worn out depending on the milage. I'd spend the money were it would do the most good. If your really serious about a lift, the Old Man EMU is a great choice. Me personally, I'm keeping mine stock for now. Less strain on the drive train overall, and cheaper upkeep. Spend the money on what needs done first before you go for shiny new wheels and tires. Just my 2 cents worth of useless information.

 

It’s sitting right at 210k it’s a 2.7 4cl 4spd

 

I would honestly avoid installing any wheels or tires that require the use of spacers, but that's just my opinion...

I prefer wheels that are a direct fit!

 

5spd ya mean?

Don’t tell me you’re starting it out in 2nd please

 

It is a 5spd I forget reverse counts as a speed. and the tires are a direct fit.

 

if reverse counted we’d all have 6spd’s! Never the less you most likely have a 5spd

 

Really hard to recommend any sort of "mod" without knowing what you intend to do with it.

Don't get wheel spacers. You say you plan on getting to wheels, so just get the proper off-set/width wheels when you cross that bridge.

 

I can't recall ever seeing a 4 spd manual in a taco.
