    Getting rid of the Lifted Dodge with 35" tires with 240,000 miles and taking over the wife's tacoma when I get her a new vehicle in September. Looking to lift the stock truck tacoma and put larger tires on it. I will use for work to travel the state. Save on gas mileage even with a lift and larger tires compared to the Dodge.
