    Yeah i was thinking about making a custom turbo kit for it. push ~ 400 with forged internals. Then just have to find a decent trans and rear end

    Just have to decide what i'd want first, a 600cc bike or a turbo taco

    Oh trust me, i know it would be cheap at all. Custom rods, pistons fuel rail tuning cheaders pipes intake heads intercooler tuning trans drive train on and on and on. That's why i was thinking of a street bike before turbo. That's implying the taco dosnt get wrecked since im "only 16"

    Only problem with them is almost all of it is for the 22tr and other gen1 engines.

    Yeah i had put the stock steelies back on, bad the lugs snugged with a 22" breaker bar after a tourqe wrench and 4 fell off in the same place. So it's just pseeding up the process cause i was thinking about trying to wrap it matte black and powder coating my rims bright red. So it'll be Very unique lol

    Kinda like this except much better looking

    Are you saying its not wise to do a fatbobs or readylift because the ride will suffer greatly? Or were you saying if we go larger than fatbobs we will have a problem. My main goal is to get my 5 lug a little higher and more aggresive looking than the stock truck that it is.

    anything higher than the 2.75 fb and rl provide is gonna compromise the ride. a drop in suspension travel will change the ride in a big way. the less travel you lose the better. you want more than 2.75 save up and get a mid travel kit and spindles

    wrapping will last between 3-7 years depending on the manufacturer. Paint would last longer but with wrap if you dont like you can pull off, and if you know guys who used to do it like i do i can do it for cost of wrap hopefully. otherwise it's like 2k

    Are these rear shocks good or should I get some others?

    i dont have any experience with them, i doubt they are anything good haha. a lot of people use the stock rear shocks from a 6lug TRD, those would probably be better but im not sure.
