    I have a 2011 stock 4x4 SR5. No trd packages. Any ideas on making it a little beefier? I feel like its a tad bit skinny. I put yakima roof racks and some westin side steps but i still feel like its skinny. Will bilsteins give it a slight boost?

    I have a 2013 double cab long bed 4x4 SR5 with towing. Looks like a limo right now. I plan on wheels and beefier tires, slight lift and new front and rear bumpers. Hoping that gets me there.

    At the minimum add a 2" lift, 265's and some wheel spacers. Will make the stance alot better for not too much cash. Of course you can always go all out which would be alot more fun. Post pics of whatever you do.....before and after please.

    This, and then down the road you can end up looking like this. Yes my truck was stock in 09 and now looks like this

    SR5 and TRD models have the same track.


    Sorry, couldn't resist.
    I'd agree with most of the stuff above except wheel spacers. Personal preference but I wouldn't put them on my truck.

    By skinny I mean..not very tough looking. I think a new set of tires will do the trick. what is Armor?

    Armor can also be, aftermarket bumpers, sliders, and skid plates, or dress up stuff which is bush and bull bars, side steps, etc

    Pretty much anything aftermarket you do to your truck will beef up the look.

    Here is my 2010 4x4 SR5. A little aesthetics, and some suspension work can go a long way. Bushwackers are a great idea, if you like them. They really add to the beefy look.

    I'm adding a Demello 3 hoop bumper, kickout sliders, and a rear plate bumper.
