    Picked up a 2002 Tacoma 4x4 a month ago with 170k miles, 5 speed, 4 cyl, so I could continue to work in North Dakota while it snows like no other! figured while I'm away from home I could gather some knowledge on how to lift my truck and get a good fitment of wheels and tires,

    not a big off road guy but it is always tempting to drive thru that big mud hole when I find one so maybe that's the inner truck lover coming out?
    my truck runs perfect and I have drive from Portland Oregon to Williston ND 2 times now so I wanna make her a little more attractive now.

    Look foward to getting all of your ideas in the future.

    welcome to TW!


    if you are going to be traveling quite a bit with it. i would look at a 3” lift and 33” tires. you will loss some MPG, but with 6” lift and 35” you will loss even more if you don’t regear.

    I'm going to be driving it a lot. I was thinking of a bilstein 5100 shocks and a AAL for the rear? I plan to get some 17" procomp 7032s for wheels with maybe 285/70/17 tires? do those seem to big for a 3 inch lift?

    That would be the reason I move here and lets just say... Anyone that is single and no commitments at home their a fool for not being here in Williston or just the bakken area. I paid cash for my truck with one month pay after working here lol
    It's crazy to be so young and making so much.

    Welcome! Not really. But you might have to do some trimming. Look at Toytec lifts. Or the OME lift on the Toytec site.

    In this photo you have the 2nd gen Tacoma? What lift are you running ? I'm trying to keep the lift cheap since I don't need it to perform so much and rather just look better you know? I'm spending a lot on tires and wheels shot hats why I was thinking of going the route I mentioned above
