    Hello everyone. I just bought my first Tacoma. Its a 98 Trd v6. Its pretty much stock but I'm planning on putting a 3 inch lift on it for a little extra look since its daily driven. Not sure what tires ill be able to fit though or what setup to use. But I plan to look around. I'm familiar with honda civics but I've decided its time to get something a little more mature that I can haul a boat and jetski around too.

    Welcome to TW! :wave:
    all the info you need about the lift and tires are here on the site, take a look at the suspension section, as well as the wheel/tire section. there should be more than enough info to answer your questions; but if not, post away!

    Hey man, what are those bars on your bed used for? I saw some heading down to the beach and I was trying to figure it out.

    I have a trac-rac on my bed- just a bed rack. Basically just lets you put stuff that's too long to fit into the bed on the racks, instead of hanging over the tailgate or through the cab.
    I use mine for 1man canoes and surfboards.
    (also, they look pretty cool. :spy: :D )

    Yeah, it looks sweet. I figured it was something like that, it clears the roof too so that's pretty convenient. :cool: I love 1st gen tacomas. I'm going to pick mine up next weekend, and ill throw some pics up here or in a sig or something. Driving 6 hours just to get the one I want. Hard trucks to find around here that bodys haven't been beat to heck, or suspension messed with.
