    The rims are 17"...and ya omaha is ridiculously flat the only thing you can really do is trails or mudding/snow...so I'm not really in need for the extreme off road lifts right now...if i lived back home in Vegas id def go LT.

    i wish i could go LT..but after reading some threads in the LT section..looks like things break here n there and I'm not mechanically inclined enough to do it myself...so always taking it to a shop would be a pain.

    its funny because i called the local Toyota dealership right down the street and they told me they don't install superchargers...they messed up on one a few years back and don't do them anymore..

    Just my 2
    Spend 3K on a lift (3-4" lift not a 6") & 5k on the SC.
    Get the lockers, 33 & power will out climb 35's and a stock any day.
    Get it so you can lock in 4 hi back & front if you can. Do the anytime locker for the rear and if you have a grand do the front. Lift it 3" -4" some beefy tires & a S/C. Rock and roll!!!!!!!!!!
    People will tell you put in low, if you are crawling low works with that said more power still helps.
    I'v been in 400hp 400 ft lbs torque trucks with 33's on mud hills that passed trucks in low with 44's sliding backward.
    Thats my 2

    Just for grins a few pix. On flat ground the GMC with 44's in mud will leave ruts a tacoma cant get over. On a wet or dry steper hills the stock GMC with gears cant do what power can.

    Do you want to wheel? Because if you do, spend 5k on sliders, tires, lockers, bumpers, and a winch and you would be very very capable.

    Supercharger.....

    The look on a "civic pimped out yo's" face is priceless when they feel they need to cut you off but can't.....(not that I would advocate things like that) because the 'stock' looking Toyota next to them just came unglued.
