    So im new to the site! ive had my taco for about 4 years. i got a 2003 double cab 2wd. I'm 20 now and always played sports and never had a job to dump money into the truck. now i can anyone got suggestions for tricken her out?? right now I'm buildin sub boxes for behind the seats and putting a system in. I really want to do some suspension work and make her better for offroading but i have no idea where to start. any suggestions would be great cost effective ones are best since Im a broke student!

    King 10" coilovers w/ resi. 3.5" over long travel kit. Factory spindles w/ ALLPRO gussets. Total Chaos tower gussets. Energy Poly cab mounts and steering rack mounts. Glassworks fenders and bedsides. Home fabbed bed cage. King 2.5x16 bypass shocks in the rear. DMZ long travel rear end. Race radio (2meter). Removed secondary carbon air filter. Exhaust dumped before the axle / no muffler. Phram fresh air cabin filter. K&N replacement filter, After market stereo, Grillcraft grill, custom fabled roof rack with 7" HID's, PRP race seats.
    Before I graduated I installed bilstein 5100 shocks. It's an inexpensive way to lift the front and get more performance. Figure on a little less than $400 for a set of four. I'm saving up now for mid travel.
