    So my wife picked up my Regular cab Tacoma from the dealer this morning, and by this evening already had it lifted!

    [​IMG]

    Ok, well, My dad also got a four post lift yesterday.

    [​IMG]

    I'm Deployed to Afghanistan and won't be home until september, but I've got lots of plans for this truck for the next few years. Nothing drastic, but we'll see what I can afford.

    Coming soon!
    I'm going to update with a list of mods that I want to do when I get back to the states!

    First on the list will be the Weathertech digitals...

    When I get back home I'll install OEM cruise control from the toyotanation board.

    I'll also be installing the factory tow kit and wire harness unless anyone has advice on a better tow hitch.

    First on the dream list (things I want but would be last items to get)

    LCE exhaust header
    I like the looks of this better than the DTLT set up.

    Woot! Thanks for the Vote of confidence guys!!


    So here's the question of the day:

    255/75R17 OR 255/80R16 ...Err, stand by on that.. need to see if that second size actually exsists.. 255/85r16 does but I don't want 33's because I don't want to regear.

    The only difference is rim/sidewall height.

    Well that was an easy decision, 255/80R16 doesn't exsist.

    255/75R17 it is!!

    So far I'm leaning to the hankook dynapros.. BFGs in the 255/75r17 are my next choice at this point.

    Does anyone know if the hankooks have white letters?
