How do I build my truck

Then your #1 job is to clean and apply a quality preservative to the frame. Every. Year.

Or you may be like others and wind up with nothing to build upon due to rust.

 

I have never been in the truck game I used to have an Audi and now im switching it up. Really I’ll only tow my jet skis if I were to tow anything. I have done really all cosmetic stuff I’d like to do to the car within the 6 months unless I add random stuff later. But I want just a better looking truck. Everyone I see online theirs looks awesome. So I’d like bigger tires maybe just a leveling kit then.

 

Since your have a black Tacoma, check out the 3rd Gen black thread to get Mod ideas.

Sounds that for you it’s all about looks, a mall crawler. Just do what ever you want - 6 inch lift, 40’s, loud exhaust………

 

It really depends on what you want in terms of looks and how much you want to spend.

 

I'll pile on; just drive the damn thing OP! If you want a bit more beef under your ass then go plus one tire size with some good snow rated tires. Lifts are a slow cancer on trucks, it will take its toll.

 

If you have an open bed, consider a bed rack. I like the looks and it helps to tie down big loads when I go to a donation center. My dog in my signature picture puts up with a bed rack but no way will he allow a topper.

 

Build it like this

 

I would suggest looking into a small reasonable lift, shock upgrades, suitable rim and tire package , and of course raptor lights.

Then take that grand total and put it in a money market account.












Happy Friday.

 

idk bruv, the raptor lights sound more exciting than 0.003% APY

 

2" Bilstein 5100 Lift, and 33" Pizza cutters. Boom, your done with the most ground clearance you would ever need.

P.S. Yearly rustproofing for the win!

 

@Tocamo what tires are those ?

 

Faulken Wildpeak AT3's. Now they came out with AT4's.

 

What was the sizing for them

 

Needs more chrome!

 

Or like this

 

255 16 85 or 255 17 80 are the common pizza cutter sizes

 

@Clearwater Bill would you say pizza cutters are the move ? Really it’s my daily driver I’m on a lot of pavement, Im from ny so it’ll rain and we will get good amount of snow. Or would you just go with the wider tires ?

the internet will do all the work for you so you can avoid callouses and banged up knuckles.

 

To me heavy snow calls for winter tires on dedicated wheels.

For light or non snow pavement pounding Michelin Defenders are the ticket for many. But they might not fulfill your dream look
