new to the tacoma scene mod help

hi im 18 and recently got my first taco 2009 sr5 2wd which has been my dream truck for years now. i already ordered a bull bar and grill and new headlights for it. my dad says that since he is paying for the truck due to the fact that it was my present i am not allowed to do anything to alter the gas mileage and i can't do any cheesy or crappy mods to the truck. i think its stupid to lift a 2wd but i was planning on leveling it and getting some larger 17" rims and tires. is this a good idea? also any mod ideas that are worth my time? i do have a flag mount on my truck already too

 

you could do the foglight anytime mod, paint your badges black with plastidip, black headlight mod, HIDs, exhaust, lol thats basically what i did with mine

O and welcome dude!

 

You scored nice truck, check out spindle lifts, maintains factory quality ride but gives you 2.5 to 4" of lift. Search Maxtrac in the search threads function.
Enjoy!!!

 

Just avoid bigger tires......to a certain size. I dont think 265's will do much but 285's will

 

THANKS MAN. I just debadged everything except for the sr5 on the tailgate i'll look into the plasti dip for that. what exhaust did you put on yours? i found a flowmaster catback that i like.

sweet ill take a look thanks!!

i was talking to a tire guy and he was telling me the same thing haha

 

I got a flowmaster 40 series lol...sounds very throaty and i dont really feel any power loss? Unless i dyno it haha

 

I would recomend these:
- uws toolbox
- wet okole seat covers
- salex console organizer
- tailgate theft prevention mod
- trd shift knob
- trd floormats

 

Bhlm! Changed the whole look of the truck especially if you throw some projectors in. A great way to not have obnoxious lights, but still have analog visibility. Not to mention they look mean!

 

i just did that tonight haha
