    Can you post some other pics of your truck?

    Yes it sure is! Owned it since it was new. My mechanic didn't think it was the original paint.

    You can see more pics in the Show off your lights! thread.

    Here is the link to the page: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/131486-show-off-your-lights-8.html

    There are more pictures on other pages as well.

    That 2nd pic from the front in the lighting thread is so badass. Can't wait until my truck looks like that.

    As for the above pic, your description says you're running at stock height? What size tires are those? Looks like a great stance and I love the no flare look in that picture - which deviates from my normal "no flares on stock height/tire trucks looks like a base model"

    Thank you!

    I reccomend detailing it with a clay bar, then do a good paint cleaning. Then use Tech wax 2.0. That stuff makes any care a mirror on wheels!

    Those are the factory optional 31X10.50 R15s.

    They are Toyo HTs. It still has excellent power and it rides super nice! They are technically called high flotation. The cool thing about the size is that you get like 4 more 32nds of tread on them over the other standard p225 size. I like them a lot better than the smaller tires. I had Wild Country XTX Sports on them that lasted about 65k miles, but they were super rough as they aged. The tread on them was cool, but they lose some of the tread as it wears. The Toyo HTs have full depth tread at I believe 16 or 17/32nds.


    Yeah it is stock height. It has aftermarket suspension stuff like poly bushings and upgraded leafs, shackles and shocks. I maintain that truck like a VC-25A.

    Your truck is nice-looking as well. I am sure it will still look good or even better years down the road. Take care of it! They are amazing machines.


    PS I don't offroad, but I live in a rural area. I have a bad back at age 25 so I prefer to have highway tires than MTs. But I can get a kick out of driving in downtown Portland. :p
